About me and my practice
You might be here because you feel stuck, lost or burdened. Or because something just isn't working. You may want a place to open up, for unconditional support, or to find a new way forward.
Understandably, you'll want to find the right person to talk to - someone who can meet you fully, without expectation or judgement, who is experienced and professionally trained to help provide an opportunity for growth.
Whatever you bring, you'll be met with care - well work together to understand what matters, and what to do. You don't need to have anything figured out beforehand, therapy is a place to arrive as you are, to find what you need.
I work with individuals, near Kings Cross and online, facing a range of challenges or difficulties:
*Emotional wellbeing: impact of anxiety, shame, frustration, anger or loneliness. Overwhelm, numbing, regulation or burnout.
*Mental health: depression, stress, isolation, ADHD, addiction, self-criticism or self-care.
*Identity and confidence: Low self-esteem, purpose, motivation or limiting beliefs.
*Relationships: Improving communication, patience, vulnerability, intimacy, and family issues.
*Trauma and loss: Navigating bereavement, processing trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions.
Experience
In our sessions, you can expect me to be curious, warm and responsive. More an active companion than a passive observer, I'll ask questions to deepen reflection and make new connections. I'll adapt to what you need in the moment, will staying with you throughout, and regularly check to see if our work is meaningful and useful.
My approach to counselling is integrative and holistic recognising your individuality, complexity, and the diversity of human experience. I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches, including:
*Person-Centred Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which might help to find and use compassion.
*Internal Family Systems (IFS) may support our work to identify, engage and integrate your different parts.
*Gestalt Therapy or Mindfulness could offer a way to understand and resolve internal conflict, and to develop your mind-body connection.
*Existential Therapy might help us to develop insight into your deepest needs, purpose or identity.
*Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) could offer tools or strategies to manage stress or shift outdated patterns.
Clients often say they leave sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more able to face what's ahead - that's what I hope for you too.

Additional Information
