Psychotherapy

To me, therapy is a journey of “Collaborative Curiosity”.

I have worked with adults, young people, and people in relationships in a variety of public and private health settings including community health services, inpatient programs, multicultural centres, and relationship/ family violence support services such as Relationships Australia and SHIPS Psychology.

I am passionate about exploring how traumatic experiences and attachment patterns impact on our mental health, sense of well-being and life decisions. I have a strong interest in mind-body connection and integrating cognitive, emotional, somatic, and creative techniques to facilitate healing and growth. I am eager to explore the impacts of immigration on sociocultural identity and experience of cultural bereavement.

I offer individual and relationship sessions for adults experiencing:
 

  • Trauma-related concerns (PTSD, difficulty to self-regulate and attachment disturbances)

  • Depression

  • Anxiety issues (social anxiety, panic attacks, generalised anxiety, OCD)

  • Disordered eating and body image issues

  • Grief & loss

  • Self-harming behaviour

  • Pregnancy, prenatal and parenting concerns

  • Relationship concerns (communication, intimacy and dealing with infidelity)

  • Changing interpersonal patterns 

  • Dealing with strong internal voices 

  • Sleep problems

  • Cross-cultural & adjustment challenges 

  • Creative blocks

  • Self-development and improving general well-being

What is IFS?

IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a compassionate and non-pathologizing approach. It’s based on the notion that our inner system is made of interconnected parts with their own roles, feelings and desires. The goal in IFS is to heal the wounded parts and create a harmonious system that is led by the Self.

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidenced-based psychotherapy that helps to process traumatic memories and reduce the distress related to traumatic experiences, EMDR can alleviate distressing emotions and symptoms and replace negative beliefs with more positive ones.
