Psychotherapy and Counselling
for individuals and couples
MA Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy, PACFA member.
At the core of my practice is the belief in people’s ability to change, to grow and find greater satisfaction.
At times we all need help to see the obstacles in our way. If you are struggling with relationships, anxiety, trauma, a lack of meaning or purpose, depression or self esteem, therapy can help.
There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.
– Leonard Cohen
About
I have a Masters in Applied Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Jansen Newman Institute, Sydney and I am a member of Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia: PACFA Reg. Provisional 27071.
My background
The decision to become a psychotherapist some years ago felt like a convergence of the many facets of my past professional life, drawing together my interests and skills into one passion: working with people and their stories to enable insight, growth, freedom and meaning.
Many moons ago I studied psychology and english literature at university. I then went to acting school and worked in theatre. I completed a Masters in writing and have worked as an editor and a writer. I am also a teacher, a yoga practitioner and a mother.
My practice
My approach to psychotherapy and counselling is humanistic, drawing particularly on existential, psychodynamic and somatic frameworks. My practice is informed by the ever-evolving understanding of the human psyche, the findings of neuroscience and how trauma can manifest for years and sometimes generations. At the heart of my work is the relationship between therapist and client.
Many of us go through times when we struggle to find solutions to our problems on our own. Talking with another person can help.
Together we can explore, and discover ways to improve your relationship with life, with others and with yourself.
