Our sessions will take shape based on your reason for seeking therapy and the goals we ascertain together.
Our first and second session are primarily for the purpose of getting to know each other, getting to understand your reasons for seeking therapy in further detail, and coming up with goals for how to proceed. This is a collaborative process, meaning we will work together to come up with a treatment plan rather than me telling you how we should proceed without your input.

I am a registered Psychotherapist with the Australian Counselling Association (Level 2).
I have a Bachelors degree in Integrative Psychotherapy, which required a mixture of theoretical study spanning a great breadth of the fields current understanding of human development, psychopathology, culture and family systems, with experiential learning throughout the degree. This training has given me is the ability to work with people relationally that is evidence-based.
I am also currently completing a Masters in the Conversational Model, which is a trauma informed, attachment-theory based psychodynamic model.
I utilise the most appropriate theories and models to develop a treatment plan based on collaboratively set goals - we work on this together so that we work in a way that suits you. You will be a part of every step we take, empowering you to embark on the process according to your own pace.
This is different to other mental health professionals who may use a more prescriptive, one-size-fits-all approach. The strength of my approach is the flexibility to accommodate each client’s uniqueness and simultaneously being practical and evidence-based.
