To be understood, to be seen, and to feel the comfort of another’s presence is the heart of therapy.

My perspective on Therapy

A transformative experience results from the interaction between therapist and client. Transformation doesn't come about by trying to change something but by noticing the changes that occur when you accept what is. The goal is not to ‘cure’, rather to utilize the integration of therapeutic experience that increases your capacity to continue to encounter life on your own terms and become whole. Together we find what really matters to you, to find your energy for life and connection to your true self. We work together to increase your strength and resilience so that life’s uncertainty, frustrations and disappointments don't cause you to crumple but rather, despite being painful you know you can get through it and thrive.

My job is to be with you, attend to you, and create a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions and behaviour. As your therapist I seek to align myself with your natural life force and give attention and reflection to an opening to the self. It seems that everywhere you look there's a new technique or approach that promises fast, effective results. Experience has shown me that techniques are tools within an ongoing process where human connection and understanding are the conditions for change.

I am not someone who is going to give you a to do list. As much as you may wish for someone to come up with a solution to your difficulties I'm here to empower you to live life on your terms and realize that you are the only one who knows what’s best for you.

To figure out what is getting in the way of living more fully takes slowing down, sensing into and reflecting on our experience to unravel the complexities of our defences that have kept us from experiencing who we truly are. Defences have developed to help us cope but so often cause problems in relationships and our ability to be at ease with everyday life.

I have over 25 years experience in counselling and have been in private practice since the mid 90's. I have training in many approaches and influences but I would say the main orientations are a psychodynamic and mind-body approach that seeks to create a space for you to move towards wholeness. Together we will develop a relationship and way of working that fits for you.

Many of my clients have struggled with: trauma, family issues, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and loss.

I am registered to take on clients with Crime Victims Assistance and RHAP (Residential Historical Abuse Program).

Through supervising Counselling Interns I can offer Low Cost Counselling. Please contact me for details.

You can book an appointment online through my website.
