Suzanne
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns
I offer a steady, compassionate presence as we explore your inner world together, getting to know the parts of you that have worked hard to keep you safe, and gently uncovering the deeper patterns that may have shaped how you move through life.
My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches, which means we work with both the mind and the body. Together, we create the safety and space needed to turn toward what's happening inside — with curiosity rather than judgment.
Many of the people I work with are navigating self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, or long-held emotional patterns — including the weight of generational burdens carried quietly over the years. Whether you're coming as an individual or as a couple, I honour the courage it takes to begin this work.
I work with: Adults (individuals) and couples
Areas of focus: Inner critic, self-doubt, relationship challenges, stress, generational trauma, emotional patterns

8 Years Experience
Online in Canberra, ACT Australian Capital Territory
Canberra is Australia's purpose-built capital city and home to the federal public service, creating a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including burnout, moral injury, and careers lived in close proximity to political power. The city has the highest median income and education level of any Australian capital, with a population generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Canberra Hospital provides institutional mental health services alongside a well-established private practice community serving the inner south, Belconnen, and Tuggeranong. A recurring theme across many Canberra practices is the tension between personal values and the constraints of institutional work — a dynamic that cuts across much of the city's therapy culture.
