Holistic Counselling & Psychotherapy
 

I work with people across the lifespan, including adults, young people and couples. My approach is warm, empowering, and grounded in practical, evidence‑based strategies that support clients to navigate challenges and create meaningful change. I offer holistic support that considers the whole person — their inner world, relationships, family system, community, culture, and environment.

​

My approach is informed by Jungian depth psychology and integrates elements of interpersonal therapy, narrative therapy, somatic and body‑based practices, mindfulness‑based approaches, gestalt principles, field theory, and cognitive‑behavioural techniques. This integrative style allows me to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs, honouring their unique story and supporting healing on emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual levels.

Process Oriented Psychology is an awareness‑based therapeutic model that supports us to work with our deepest experiences and integrate both the conscious and less‑conscious aspects of self. It is grounded in the understanding that there is an innate intelligence within the subconscious — an intelligence expressed through our behaviours, dreams, chronic physical symptoms, relationship patterns, and the subtle signals that shape our everyday lives. This approach recognises that an organising principle is always at work in the background, guiding us toward growth and wholeness.

​

In my practice, I draw on a range of creative and experiential methods to work in a process‑oriented way. I follow your unique process with curiosity and respect, and together we explore dreams, body symptoms, relationship dynamics, and life disturbances as meaningful pathways toward greater awareness. This work supports clients to discover insight, cultivate hope, and create long‑lasting, transformative change.

I have extensive experience supporting clients through grief, loss, and trauma. Grief is a natural and necessary emotional response to loss, change, and bereavement, and it can touch every part of our lives.

​

Bereavement refers to the death of someone significant, yet loss can take many forms. It may arise through life transitions such as children leaving home, retirement, moving house, career changes, ageing parents, relationship breakdowns, illness or disability in oneself or a loved one, infertility, or miscarriage. These experiences can profoundly affect our sense of identity, stability, and meaning.

​

Trauma brings its own form of loss — often a loss of safety, trust, worthiness, or belief in a predictable and meaningful world. Trauma may stem from experiences such as violence, sexual abuse, accidents, or war‑related events, and can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or fundamentally changed.

​

Grief is deeply personal, and no two people grieve in the same way. Grief, loss, and trauma counselling offers a safe, supportive space to share your story, express your emotions, and begin to make sense of what has happened. Together, we work toward healing, integration, and rediscovering meaning and hope in your life.

Relationship conflict asks us to recognise the wisdom that exists in multiple perspectives. In couples therapy, this means cultivating a shared commitment to building a more intentional, conscious, and compassionate relationship.

In my couples work, I offer careful attention, tenderness, and steady guidance. Together, we focus on bringing greater awareness to the relationship, developing intentional patterns of interaction, exploring values and unmet needs, improving communication, and acknowledging the very real challenges of creating a healthy partnership.

This work can be slow and demanding, yet it is profoundly rewarding. Taking this step is an act of courage — an invitation to deepen your capacity for love, connection, and wholeness, both as an individual and within your relationship.

My work is guided by deep values of fairness, inclusiveness, and the inherent dignity of every person. I uphold the ethics of my profession through honesty, transparency, empathy, and reflective practice. My approach is informed by core social work principles, including an understanding of the person within their environment and the broader social and cultural contexts that shape their lives. I work from a strengths‑based perspective and support people across the lifespan and of all abilities.

​

I am deeply committed to social justice and to contributing to a more fair and equitable society. When needed, I act as an advocate and change agent for clients and the wider community, ensuring that their voices, rights, and needs are recognised.

​

My services are inclusive and accessible to all people, regardless of age, cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, or physical or mental abilities. As a Mental Health Social Worker, I can provide Medicare‑rebated sessions with a GP referral, as well as court reports, statutory declarations, advocacy, and consultancy.
