Therapy is an opportunity to slow down enough to genuinely feel your feelings — and then connect them to your thoughts, your physical sensations, your unconscious life. Your dreams, your symbols, the things that are really resonating for you. That helps you get a sense of why you're making the decisions you're making, and playing out the patterns you're playing out.
This is a hugely vulnerable thing to do. It requires safety and trust — which is why it matters that you feel comfortable with the person you choose to work with. That they're not pushing an agenda on you, or making you go faster than you want to go. You set the pace.
I practise Integrative Psychotherapy, which means I draw on multiple approaches — somatic psychology, attachment theory, trauma-informed work — tailored to you as a unique person. We don't just talk about your experiences. We work with your mind, your body, and your nervous system together.
When worry runs the show and your nervous system won't settle. We work with what's underneath — not just managing symptoms, but understanding what your anxiety is actually trying to tell you.
The patterns you learned early shape how you love, fight, withdraw, and connect. We make sense of those patterns together — so you can start choosing differently.
Your body holds memories and patterns your conscious mind doesn't have access to. When we bring presence and curiosity to what's happening physically, that's often where the deepest change happens.
What's been too much to carry alone. We work with what's stored in your body and nervous system — not just talking about it, but processing it where it actually lives.
Life & identity transitions, grief, loss, death. Whatever you're carrying, I'm genuinely interested in your story and I won't shy away from any of it.
When everything feels grey and heavy and disconnected. We work to understand what's underneath — not to fix you, but to help you find your way back to feeling alive.
I'm not hidden behind clinical distance. You'll find me present, direct, and genuinely interested in what's going on for you. I adapt to the person in front of me — because no two people need the same thing from therapy.
I draw on somatic psychology, attachment theory, and trauma-informed approaches. We don't just talk about your experiences — we work with your body, your nervous system, and what's happening in the here-and-now. That's where change actually happens.
I see people in Kyneton, in Yarraville, and online. Whether you're new to therapy or coming back to it, the first thing I'll want to know is what's alive for you right now, in your own words.
I'm a PACFA Registered Integrative Psychotherapist (Reg. #32932), trained in somatic, relational, and trauma-informed modalities. But credentials don't create trust — what matters is that you feel safe and genuinely seen by the person you're working with.
Everything you share with me is confidential. I work under regular clinical supervision with Dr Tra-ill Dowie PhD, which means there's accountability built into my practice. That's your safeguard — and it's something I take seriously.
