Perhaps you feel a bit like an actor in your own life. You know your lines, show up for study or work, relationships and family, however internally things feel very different. You may feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated. Despite your best efforts things are not turning out the way you hoped. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, overthinking or weighed down by self doubt, asking yourself, “Why can’t I get it right?” or “Will I ever be good enough?” At times, it can be difficult to know where to begin when you are already carrying so much.

How I Work

I am a registered psychotherapist working online with adults aged 18+. My passion is helping people make sense of what may be happening beneath the surface, particularly when old experiences, relationships or ways of coping continue to shape the present. Through this process, new possibilities for change, connection and self acceptance can emerge. With greater awareness often comes greater freedom in how we live, relate and respond to life’s challenges.

Experience and Background

My background includes working across sexual harm and family harm services, supporting people through crisis, relationship difficulties, grief and life transitions. I am ACC Sensitive Claims registered. Please note: I am not currently accepting new ACC clients.

While qualifications and experience matter, I believe the therapeutic relationship matters most. At its heart, therapy is a genuine meeting, one human being present with another’s pain and vulnerability, with curiosity, care and a desire to understand. While this can involve difficult emotions, it does not always have to feel heavy.  There can also be room for humour and moments of lightness.

Feel free to get in touch. I know finding the right therapist can feel daunting and the right fit is important. I am happy to arrange a brief call to hear more about what is bringing you to therapy and what you are hoping to find. If it turns out I am not the right fit, I will do my best to help connect you with someone who may be.
