Our immediate goal is to help alleviate emotional pain and confusion and to build self confidence and coping skills. To do this we specialise in short, to long term, psychodynamic psychotherapy which consist of a series of conversations between you and your therapist.
These conversations are conducted with sensitivity, warmth and understanding in the confidential space of our consulting rooms or if preferred via Telehealth.
Our work is informed by a variety of contemporary psychological models of therapy. Most notable of these being the Conversational Model. This means we explore with you how past experiences and learned behaviour come together to influence your present day thinking and the effect that has on your future life goals and expectations. Whatever approach is best suited to you is framed around your specific needs and treatment plan that we build in collaboration with you. Our hope is the the work we do together will assist in integrating all parts of your psychological life and be demonstrated in your improved self care and life choices.

When it comes to social anxiety the client-therapist relationship is an integral part of healing and can within itself, serve as a supportive and validating resource throughout the therapeutic process, fostering a sense of trust and empowerment for clients as they work towards integrating all aspects of themselves for greater self-awareness and clarity. Social anxiety can be extremely impactful and debilitating to anyone who has experienced it. The fear of social situations and interactions can manifest in a variety of ways with symptoms ranging from sweating, trembling, rapid heart rate and difficulty speaking to a complete withdrawal from all social interactions. This can stem from a fear of being judged, embarrassed, or of being rejected by others to underlaying issues such as trauma and low self-esteem. I provide a safe, compassionate and understanding space to help support and completely guide you to identify the root cause of the anxiety and welcome you to reach out through whatever means of communication you feel comfortable, so we can schedule a time to have a chat.
