A bit about me
People often come to therapy knowing that something in the way they relate to themselves or others is not working, even if they cannot quite put a name to it. They may be highly self-critical, depend heavily on reassurance, struggle to trust their own judgement, or find themselves repeating patterns they already understand intellectually.
I’m particularly interested in this kind of work. Rather than trying to turn you into a more confident or “better” version of yourself, I’m interested in helping you understand what has shaped the way you see yourself, and in developing a steadier, less punishing relationship with who you already are.
How I work
My approach is primarily person-centred and depth-oriented, with psychodynamic influences. That means paying attention both to what is happening in your life now and to the patterns in relationships, self-beliefs and earlier experiences that may continue to shape how you respond.
We might become curious about why reassurance never quite seems to stick, why setting a reasonable boundary still brings guilt, or why knowing where a pattern came from has not been enough to change it.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. You bring your own experience and understanding; I bring curiosity, reflection and another perspective. Together, we can explore what these patterns may have been doing for you, what they cost now, and where greater choice might become possible.
The aim isn’t endless confidence. It’s being able to trust yourself more when uncertainty, disappointment or conflict appears.
Beyond the counselling room
Outside the counselling room, I’m drawn to writing, creative work and questions about how people make sense of themselves and their lives. I enjoy exploring psychology, culture, relationships and the stories people develop about who they are.
Those interests are part of what draws me to depth-oriented therapy. I’m interested not only in what somebody is experiencing, but in how it fits into the wider story of their relationships, identity and way of seeing themselves.
Professional background
I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Science and Counselling and am a Certified Practising Counsellor with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
My ongoing professional development includes regular clinical supervision and further study in psychodynamic, relational and depth-oriented approaches, alongside my person-centred and Adlerian foundations.
