Adults, Adolescents

Available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (monthly)

I have worked in the mental health field for over ten years. I have gained experience working with adults and children in a variety of settings, including a community health counselling service; a community mental health service (providing case management to people with complex mental health issues); a child and adolescent hospital service, and an early parenting centre for parents with children under the age of three. Additionally, I have facilitated a range of group programs including the ‘Tuning Into Kids’ parenting program, parent-child therapeutic play programs, and an anxiety program for adults. I have been working in private practice over the last four years.

I have a particular interest in working with parents in the perinatal period (from conception to 3 years after birth), however I see adults presenting with a variety of issues/needs including anxiety, depression, interpersonal or relationship issues, adjustment issues, parenting, trauma, and grief and loss.

My style is collaborative and I strive to provide a warm, safe, and empathic space for people to reflect on and explore their experiences. I hope to assist people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and simultaneously provide practical skills and strategies to support the change they are trying to achieve in their life. My therapy approaches include:

• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

  1. Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)

  2. Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)

  3. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  4. Family Systems and Attachment based therapy

  5. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  6. Schema Therapy
