I believe that we are living in challenging times, full of uncertainty. The issues that are arising in each of us are part of the broader climate of our world, and can be incredibly difficult to move through without a witness and a skilful supporter. I have trained in order to be with others as they meet with difficulty. My love of therapy is about the openings it provides us in accessing a more meaningful, richer experience of life. It takes incredible courage to encounter the depths inside oneself and it is always a privilege to be alongside someone in this process.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Developmental Therapy Looks at how childhood and developmental experiences affect current challenges. It aims to repair unmet needs and foster healthy growth.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Jungian Therapy Draws on Carl Jung’s ideas about archetypes, dreams, and the collective unconscious. It helps people explore deeper layers of meaning.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: The relationship between myself and each individual I'm working with is paramount to any specific modality; our collaboration is what grounds us. I'm most interested in you, the story of your life and lineage, and finding holistic ways that your current experiences can be understood. Based on these factors, I draw from different approaches. I enjoy working with dreams, embodied enactments and ecotherapy tools which integrate the natural world into our shared experience. Developmental and attachment lenses underpin my understandings, and a general orientation towards systems theory too.

I work from a mudbrick cottage in a bushy spot (10 mins from Daylesford), with a beautiful soundtrack of kookaburras and frogs surrounding. I believe that therapy is a ritual and I've intentionally created a space to reflect the sacredness of time spent in therapy; like taking a pause on outer world responsibilities and duties to sit in the liminal. There is also the option to do sessions outside and engage with the natural world as part of our therapy process.
