Services
My passion is to help clients listen to and reflect on symptoms, feelings, the body, and symbols to gain an understanding of underlying themes and patterns. After all, a meaningful life can only start from within.
I enjoy the creativity of integrating different approaches to develop an individualised, holistic treatment plan. I pursue evidence-based practice by considering each client’s unique background and personality, working with congruence and empathy, honouring the therapeutic relationship, and prioritising my own supervision and development.

“Being able to be your true self is one of the strongest components of good mental health.”

What to
Expect
An initial telephone conversation or email. You don’t need a referral and
you don’t need to have a mental health diagnosis to access my services.
​
The first session will be an initial assessment to learn about your situation.
I may ask you to complete questionnaires about your mental and emotional functioning at the beginning and end of the journey. These may be helpful to notice progress and plan for challenges.
​
After this assessment, I will present you with a treatment plan. This plan will consist of a recommendation for a therapeutic approach and outline the
next steps. A treatment plan will assist you to make an informed decision
about your own therapeutic journey.
​
Therapy begins. I have a hybrid practice and I am happy to consider online sessions depending on your circumstances and needs.
