Work with me
Approach
I consider my work to be eclectic, intuitive and based on grounded and evidence based practices. I draw on theories and approaches coming from different models, depending on your needs, the issues you present with and the different stages of the therapeutic work.
​
Over the last 16 years I have run my own private practice in Lismore, and this is now where I work 3-days per week. I also work in Bangalow 1-day per week.
​​
I work with people struggling with and exploring concerns and experiences, such as:
​
-
anxiety, fear and stress
-
relationship difficulties
-
feelings of disconnection from self and others
-
grief and loss
-
legacies of trauma residing in the mind and body
-
existential/life meaning
-
self-esteem/self-love
-
workplace supervision
-
parenting concerns and needs
-
spiritual experiences and integration of transpersonal work
Influences

-
