How I work

My approach is gentle, relational, and grounded in trust.I come to this work with a background in humanistic psychology and coaching, shaped by evidence based training in positive psychology, somatic approaches, and trauma-informed care.
I'll meet you with a smile and compassion and we will go from there.There is no one size fits all, each session can feel different as we work with all of you, your body, your mind and the stories that shaped you.This is a space where you can scream, cry and swear, or ask for a hug if that's what you need.We move at your pace.
There’s no need to be ready, or have the right words.
Speak with me is your soft landing and all parts of you are welcome.English and Italian offered

Acceptance for what comes up, for our expectations of the process and for the years we have struggled.

Allowing creative thoughts, different angles and openness that maybe we can see things in different ways. We might draw on mindfulness, somatic awareness, narrative therapy or parts work through a trauma informed approach.

FAQ's

Making sure you are the right fit with your therapist is key to having a successful therapeutic relationship, have a look to see if we could be a great match.

  • Should I see a Therapist or a Psychologist? If you have any clinical diagnoses, I would be happy to collaborate and support you in conjunction with a clinical psychologist or specialized professional. I don't diagnose or prescribe medication. Please reach out if you aren't sure.

  • Do I do rebates? I don't do medicare rebates, you also don't need a MHCP to see me.

  • I come from a different cultural background, how will you work with me? I believe in intersectional therapeutic approaches and am open, curious and search to understand what makes you you.

  • How do I know it's working? We will check in, therapy isn't linear, sometimes it's a slow steady change that we don't see. I am not a quick fix, solutions based therapist. However, I do offer coaching if that is more your speed.
