​I am a registered (ACA level 2) psychotherapist with a Master's degree in Counselling. I see individual clients (25yrs +)  West Preston/Reservoir area (easily commutable from all Northern Suburbs of Melbourne).

 

I work with adults on a one-to-one basis who want to improve their mental health or who would like to change or discover something about themselves. This includes those who may be struggling with relationships and life transitions and a wide range of mental health issues. I help clients with issues such as depression/anxiety, obsessive thoughts, relationship issues, complex/attachment/developmental trauma, emotional and nervous system regulation, dissociation and chronic perfectionism. I also enjoy working with neurodivergent clients, particularly ADHDers, Autistic people and those with those with attention/sensory differences. I have a passion for maternal/paternal mental health, transition to parenthood as well as supporting parents of neurodivergent children.

 

I am a neuro-affirming, neurodivergent therapist and am passionate about working with neurodivergent clients. Whether officially diagnosed, self-diagnosed or curious about your brain difference, I'd love to support you on your journey. Many of my clients are either Autistic, ADHDers or those with sensitive nervous systems, sensory differences and/or obsessive-compulsive traits.
