Therapy style

Therapy

My therapeutic style is non-pathologising conversational talk therapy, drawing on evidence based training in mindfulness, self compassion, relationship (attachment) theory, feminist principles, inner child therapy and somatic trauma informed care to meet your personal needs.

Individual counselling only. If you are interested in couples or family therapy, I would be pleased to offer suggestions for therapists or services who provide this type of counselling.

Telehealth therapy. Please get in touch if you prefer telehealth, available Australia wide, by either secure Zoom platform or telephone.
