Bachelor of Exercise Science (Psychology), Postgraduate. Diploma in Psychology, Masters in Psychology (Counselling), MAPS

My aim is to support people to find greater understanding, acceptance and kindness towards themselves as they navigate the inevitable ups and downs of life. 

My work is strongly influenced by principles of Mindfulness, Self Compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Buddhist Psychology, Neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Psychology, Positive Psychology and Emotion Focused Therapy. 

Through these approaches, I collaboratively work with individuals to shift old patterns of responding to themselves and their world, which are no longer serving them, and create new pathways of being which support greater health, wellbeing, resilience, self acceptance, self compassion and inner peace.

I have a passion for supporting people to enhance their relationship with themselves and, in doing so, enhance their relationship with the people and the world around them.

I am also passionate about supporting people to reconnect with what is truly important to them, thus facilitating a greater sense of satisfaction, fulfilment, meaning and purpose in life.  

I have great appreciation and respect for the fact that therapy is very much a personal process. I therefore, work collaboratively with clients to establish a trusting, compassionate connection to support them to meet all aspects of themselves with openness, acceptance, kindness and care.
