How I Work

​My work is tailored to meet your unique needs, and I will listen carefully to the story you present of your life, pay careful attention to what you believe is and isn’t working for you, help you make sense of and develop meaning from your story and support you to change, transform, grow and learn in a deep and sustainable way.

​​​

I provide a compassionate and collaborative space where you can explore what’s holding you back and work towards meaningful change. Together, we’ll identify and release old patterns, rediscover your strengths, and create a more fulfilling life by addressing challenges such as depression, finding hope and clarity in difficult times; anxiety, managing worry and overthinking to create a calmer state of mind; anger, developing healthier emotional responses; addictions, low self-esteem, rebuilding confidence and self-worth; relationship difficulties, navigating communication and boundary challenges; and trauma, healing from past experiences.

​

I am also a qualified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, which is a transformative approach that helps us understand the different “parts” within ourselves—those that protect us, carry pain, or feel stuck. By approaching these parts with curiosity and compassion, we can untangle unhelpful patterns, foster healing, and reconnect with your authentic self.​

​​​​​​​

Through the relationship we develop, I will help you increase your understanding, and as a result, your own ability to change. We will identify together the root causes of the issues that you present and I will support you to re-frame the meaning you attach to what has happened to you. To do this I may at times challenge your thinking, or share theory as a tool to assist you to change unhelpful behaviours that are holding you back.
