Trauma or chronic stress may have fragmented your body-mind system.
Using evidence based psychotherapies and deep presence, I help you experience, lovingly accept and integrate the cutoff parts and bring some easing to an over stretched nervous system.
This ease of being allows you better access to your authentic self and guiding wisdom and supports you to create in your life from this place.
The increasing wholeness and harmony in your brain, body, mind and nervous system frees up more connection, purpose, peace and vitality in your life, health, work and relationships.
When people come to see me, it’s often because:
Emotional Wellbeing:
Anxiety – when worries don’t switch off, the body feels constantly on edge, or everyday life feels overwhelming. More about resolving anxiety.
Depression / low mood – when life feels flat, heavy, or drained of energy, and joy feels out of reach. More about evolving depression.
Trauma, PTSD or complex PTSD (CPTSD) – when past experiences keep resurfacing in the present, leaving you unsettled or disconnected. More about healing trauma.
Grief and loss – when the absence of someone or something important brings deep sadness or makes it hard to adjust.
More about how counselling with me works.
Relationships & Connection:
Relationship concerns – when communication feels stuck, conflict repeats, or closeness feels out of reach.
Family or parenting stress – when old patterns or current pressures make home life difficult.
Life Transitions & Meaning:
Life transitions and identity changes – navigating perimenopause/menopause, career shifts, family changes, or other chapters that stir uncertainty.
Spiritual and life purpose concerns – when questions of meaning, direction, or soul-calling feel pressing but unclear. About your Essential Self.
Living with chronic illness – when health challenges affect energy, mood, or your ability to live fully.
Specialised Support:
Neurodiversity-affirming support – for those who identify with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent traits and want compassionate, strengths-based care.
Therapist supervision and mentoring – for practitioners seeking a reflective, soul-aligned space to deepen their work.
Life coaching – for clients wanting guidance, accountability, and clarity as they create change or pursue new goals. Creating from your core self.
Telehealth Zoom sessions available
Telehealth sessions have become a way of life and a preference for many of us in recent years. It often means less traffic hassles and the opportunity to schedule therapy into a busy calendar. It also means the convenience of being supported in your own home or office space.
I offer Telehealth sessions on Zoom. You can still claim a Medicare rebate, should you have a valid Mental Health Care Plan. Health fund rebates also apply.
Online counselling can work well for many psychological concerns, such as anxiety and depression, relationship issues, life changes and transitions.
Should you have trauma impacts in your life, I can provide a powerful lens for seeing, understanding and working with it.
Feel free to call or message to book in a session.
How do I help you heal from trauma impacts?
Here I share about my model for healing Complex PTSD – the things that shaped our nervous system when it was growing itself, that were overwhelming. These are things that can be triggered into play in our physiology today, in our bodies as an automatic process. Healing trauma is not primarily a mind job. It’s an integrated mind-body-social-relational task.
Psychological approaches we may draw on:
CBT – for uncovering and evolving core beliefs that may be limiting your ability to fully express and experience yourself in the world.
ACT/Mindfulness– to help you meet each new moment with self-compassion, curiosity and kindness; a ket foundation for change and healing.
‘Parts work’ – drawing from Gestalt Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems and Schema models for understanding how different internal parts of us experience and interact with the world, understandiong their purpose and needs and how they can work more consciously together.
DBT – sometimes we have to accept hard realities while building skills to manage distress and nurture change where we can.
Positive Psychology – moving towards creating a meaningful life and drawing on your character and values strengths to leads you forward.
Somatic psychotherapy– understanding the language of your body and nervous system, including distress signals and safety cues.
Transpersonal Psychology – accessing support on your journey from your spiritual resources, however you define these.
Eco-Psychology – being aware of yourself and your experiences as part of a larger whole – you influence the world and the world influences you. How can we use this awareness to understand your experiences and assist you on your journey?
Neuro-Psychotherapy – understanding the development and functioning of your nervous system, electrically, structurally and hormonally to build a clear picture of what is driving and maintaining both symptoms and healing.
Most people who are trauma impacted don’t know it.
