People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, loss, relationship difficulties or a significant life transition. You may feel disconnected from yourself, find yourself repeating familiar patterns, or have a sense that something is missing, even though life may appear to be going well. You may simply want to understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with your body and inner experience, or develop greater trust in your own inner wisdom. There doesn't need to be a particular problem to begin therapy. We can begin with whatever is here.

Yes. My work includes trauma-informed psychotherapy, including developmental and relational trauma. Trauma can shape the way we experience ourselves, our bodies and our relationships, sometimes in ways that are not immediately obvious. We can gently explore how these experiences may continue to influence the present, while also making space for greater awareness, choice and connection. My approach is somatic and relational, with attention to the body, emotions, patterns of relating and the meanings we have made through our experiences.

You may have had therapy before and found it helpful, or perhaps felt that something was missing. My work is experiential and somatic, with attention not only to what you think and understand, but also to what is happening in your body, emotions and relationships. We move at a pace that allows space for what is emerging, rather than needing to have everything figured out before we begin.

Many of us were never taught how to notice and understand our inner experience. For some people, turning towards the body can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable or overwhelming. You don't need to know what you're feeling, or already feel comfortable paying attention to your body, before beginning. We take our time and move gently, at a pace that feels right for you. We pay attention to what feels manageable, and can pause or slow down whenever needed. Nothing needs to be forced or explored before you're ready.

We can talk about this together when we begin. Weekly sessions are often helpful, particularly at the beginning, but fortnightly sessions may also be appropriate depending on your circumstances, needs and what you are looking for.

There is no set length of time. Some people come with something specific they want to explore, while others value having an ongoing space for deeper self-understanding and growth. We can review the process together as we go and adjust the frequency of sessions when it feels appropriate.

Yes. I am currently offering in-person sessions in the Northern Rivers, NSW.

Yes. I offer online sessions to individuals and couples throughout Australia.

Phone sessions may be available for individual therapy in some circumstances. If you would prefer to work by phone, you're welcome to mention this when you get in touch, and we can discuss whether it would be suitable.

Individual — 60 minutes • $160

Couple — 90 minutes • $220

Fees are the same for online and in-person sessions.

No. My services are private, so Medicare rebates are not available for sessions with me.

If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan, you are still welcome to work with me privately. You are required to check with your GP whether my approach and qualifications are suitable for what they are recommending. If you decide to work with me, sessions are charged at my usual fee.

I do not offer sliding scale fees.

I offer a free 10-minute conversation before you book your first session. It's a chance to briefly connect, share a little about what you're looking for, ask any questions you may have, and we will get a sense of whether working together feels right.

You can get in touch through the contact form, by phone or by text message. We can begin with a brief conversation before deciding whether to arrange a first session.
