I have been working as a psychologist for almost 20 years, across public, private, community and higher education sectors. I provide therapy for adults, adolescents and children. I have experience working with a wide range of issues, including post-traumatic concerns, depression, anxiety, parenting and difficulties with relationships, as well as challenging behaviours in children.
As a therapist, I always work with an eye to my clients’ interpersonal patterns. These develop early in life and shape the way we relate to others and to ourselves. I draw on modern psychoanalytic theory, attachment theory and Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) in my work. My practice approach is compassionate, mindful and embodied, grounded in long term meditation and yoga practices, and with an awareness of culture and social context.
I bring my imperfect self into the therapy room. I aspire to create relational safety and encourage feedback and dialogue about your experience of therapy throughout our work together, as this conversation is an important part of making therapy effective.
