Life can be tough. I understand, and I’m here to help. Together we’ll figure out who you are, who you want to be, and how to get you there.

I work as a couple and individual therapist, using EMDR Therapy intensives, Gottman Couples Therapy Marathon intensives as well as regular weekly or fortnightly sessions.

I incorporate a range of techniques such as Gottman Couples Therapy, ACT, CBT, EMDR and mindfulness in my work to support you in this process.

What else can I tell you about myself? I’m a little bit of a nerd and don’t take myself too seriously – life’s too short! I’m your classic animal lover, especially dogs. I love the great outdoors – hiking and camping (except I hate mosquitoes!)

My approach to therapy is direct, yet genuine and supportive. I have a sense of humour about myself, and I encourage my clients to adopt the same attitude. I am incredibly enthusiastic and I am excited to work together and create meaningful and lasting change in your life.

Everything we talk about is just between the people in the room (unless there are safety concerns, I’ll explain all that to you in our first session). Think of me as your trusted confidant. Someone who is ready to listen, never judge – but also be honest with you in order to bring forward positive change.

‘’I’m 100% invested in this process. I am passionate about helping people feel understood and heard. Overcome past painful experiences and helping couples and families increase connection with one another.’’

Beyond my clinical expertise, I am recognised for my empathetic and non-judgmental approach, creating a safe space for clients to explore and navigate their challenges. I firmly believe in the transformative power of resilience and work diligently to empower individuals to overcome obstacles and realise their full potential.

My professional approach revolves around client-centred work, solution-focused, strengths-based approaches and CBT. I have a proven track record of making a meaningful impact on individuals navigating diverse challenges.

​

Fun fact: I enjoy hiking in nature; I train at the gym most nights, a few times a week after work, and I enjoy a good meal. 

”I am passionate about supporting young people and their families on their journey toward mental wellness!”

My commitment lies in creating a safe and welcoming environment where my clients can openly discuss the challenges they face. I believe in collaboration, working closely with my clients to empower them to make positive changes in their lives, ultimately improving their mental and physical well-being.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time outdoors and connecting with nature. When I’m not in the office, I’m often out camping, hiking, surfing, or skating. I’m a sociable individual with a great sense of humour, always ready to meet new people.

My therapeutic approach can be described as down-to-earth, engaging, and relaxed. I draw from various solution-focused practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR therapy, and Mindfulness training. I adapt my style and techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual.

“I am passionate about working with people to help create a happier and more fulfilled life. I believe that everyone has the potential create positive change despite adversity; we just need the tools to be able do so.”

I am particularly interested in Men’s mental health and strive to create a safe space for open discussions around feelings, emotions and challenges that men face. The quality of our working relationship has a significant impact on the counselling process. We will work collaboratively to help increase your self-awareness of your relationship with yourself and others and explore any obstacles preventing you from living your best life by helping you develop the skills to achieve it.

Although various counselling modalities exist, I will use a combination of approaches, including person-centred (client-led), solution-focused, and CBT.

At times you may laugh with me, and more often than not, you will laugh at me…but it’s all part of the fun. In my downtime, I enjoy a hike in the middle of nowhere, my martial arts class, drawing if I am not doing some woodwork or learning about the latest tech gadgets.

“We don’t know what we don’t know. That’s where counselling can help shed light on what we can change. As Andy Andrews said, ‘Every good thing that has happened in your life happened because something changed.'”
