”I acknowledge the strength and courage it has taken to reach out for help. I promise to meet you where you are - gently and mindfully.

Therapy style

Therapy

My therapy style is relational, inclusive and integrative using evidence based therapies – person-centred, trauma responsive, attachment, inner child parts, intersectional feminist and trauma memory resolution (FLASH technique). Safety underpins all sessions, ensuring you feel emotionally, psychologically, physically, culturally and spiritually safe.

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.
