How Psychological Therapy Can Help

Taking some time to reflect, gain insight and clarity

I work collaboratively to assist people in developing skills to find resilience and approach life feeling more capable, self compassionate and connected. I have experience in treating people experiencing stress around relationship or interpersonal issues and life transitions, health concerns, self-doubt, depression, anxiety and overthinking, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and difficulty regulating emotions. I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches appropriate to the individual client. These include acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), schema therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), mindfulness and self-compassion based approaches, exposure and response prevention for OCD - (ERP), and aspects of dialectical behaviour therapy. 

Treating OCD is a particular interest of mine. I'm passionate about using evidence based practice (ERP) to assist people with OCD (whatever the themes of the obsessions may be!). 

​

I hope my clients feel understood and warmly supported, while at the same time having the opportunity to gain insight and clarity that may lead to meaningful and helpful change.

​

I look forward to a world in which it is no longer necessary to specify this, but please know I am a strong LGBTQIA+ ally!

​

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which I live and work - the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation - and I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.
