passionate about supporting you.
Coming to therapy whether for the first time or the time after that can be a daunting step… and this is completely understandable as you’re sharing some very personal stuff! So it’s very reasonable that you’d want to know a bit more about me.
I like to work with my clients with care and compassion by providing a safe space to promote healing and growth. Each one of us is unique - with our own story, and differ in ways that we think, feel, behave, and process information; what works for one person may not work for another. Using a person-centred approach I use a blend of therapeutic strategies (Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy).
Having worked in organisations with a primary focus on emotional wellbeing and health since 2006 in various positions, as well as corporate and educational settings, I have a passion for supporting the mental wellbeing of people from different walks of life.
I have supported my clients with issues related to:
Anxiety and Depression
Neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, HSP, Learning disabilities)
Cultural identity and family dynamics
Self-esteem and confidence
Study or work-related stress
Life transitions
Grief and loss
Trauma
Relationships and attachment issues
Alcohol and other addictions
Perinatal mental health
Chronic health and pain
Working through these issues in a holistic way, and supporting them to identify roadblocks and their inner-strengths has helped them to live a more thriving life.
Developing more clarity and insight helps us to gain a better understanding of ourselves so that we can be more at peace within as well as in our relationship with others.
Let’s connect - Counselling sessions are available online/telehealth or in person at West Ryde or Gladesville, Sydney.
