I primarily work from a Humanistic Person Centred framework, which means that the work is collaborative. I work responsively to the clients concerns and presenting issues and can draw on methods such as Dream work, ACT and Image work via Art Therapy.

Because I am passionate about providing the best support I can to all my clients with their varied needs, I have undertaken (and continue to take) significant further training in various therapy modalities so that I am able to provide clients with a more bespoke way of working â?? adjusting my techniques in each session to suit the circumstances presented by the client in that moment. This allows me to provide very specific & focussed support as its needed - so I journey with you, meeting you where you are at. This is an important distinction as I believe my role is not to try & force or coax you onto my path â?? but to help figure out where you feel you got lost to prevent reoccurrence & support you back onto your chosen path. To also help you fill any potholes in the path as you move along, & to take any new paths as you desire. I accept you for who you are in the here & now. Importantly, I donâ??t judge you. I just help you find hope when you have lost it, until you feel ready to walk the path without me once again.

Experiential arts therapy - I offer a warmly held therapeutic environment in my carefully considered and maintained art studio space. I bring skills to support clients' awareness of their own nature and circumstances. I invite all faculties of our body, and different materials (both natural and artificial) and art forms into the space as our powerful and trustworthy allies. I also share insights into the many forms of therapeutic arts as daily practice to nourish, ground and balance ourselves. Each session is individually tailored and may also be informed by: - Focusing - Hakomi - Nonviolent Communication - The Open Studio Process - Process-Oriented Psychology - The MIECAT Form of Inquiry - Internal Family Systems

I treat different therapeutic approaches as tools. Once I have understood the client's needs and goals, I choose the theories that most plausibly explain the problem and are most likely to be appropriate and accessible for the client. In almost any case, I draw from person-centred therapy and motivational interviewing, structuring the therapeutic dialogue so that it is non-judgemental and empowers the client to learn their own problem-solving strategies. If a client's concerns involve trauma or are otherwise best explained by past events, we may draw on, for example, schema or attachment theories to conduct psycho-education. If a client is grieving, we may use more abstract existential exploration. In any case, my goal is to always help the client decide on specific actions which they can do regularly to address their challenges and goals.

The basis of Jungian analysis is dream interpretation within a therapeutic relationship. This is a bit of a misnomer as the analyst does not interpret dreams in isolation, but in deep exploratory conversation with the dreamer. If an interpretation is not arrived at or does not sit with the dreamer, then it is shelved, and the process to find meaning for the dreamer continues.

As a therapeutic social worker, I use a blend of creative and evidence-based methods tailored to each clientâ??s unique needs. My approach includes therapeutic communication, creative techniques, and strengths-based, person-centered practices. I focus on empowering clients, enhancing their skills, and fostering resilience. Whether through one-on-one sessions, family work, or group support, my goal is to create a safe, inclusive space where growth and positive change can flourish.

I work with an eclectic tool box, based in mindful awareness techniques of evidence based modalities that use somatic approaches for counselling therapy. With a Buddhist foundation for inner growth, I bring to the counselling room a presence that holds a trusting safe space for you .. My tool box contains therapeutic approaches that are person-centred, evidence based, with somatic appraoches that align themselves with the deeper work of mindful awareness. Hence the tools come from the major therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Therapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Buddhist Counselling and Psychotherapy, Hakomi Principles, and others.

I think it's important and meet the client where they are at. It's about the client after all. Taking whatever time is necessary to build rapport, understand the client's beliefs and values, and then work with the client in way that is supportive to them. Sometimes life throws a curve ball midway through our work, but that's ok, we can reassess and develop a new plan to work together. It's about the client being comfortable, heard and respected.

I use a range of evidence-based and affirming approaches tailored to each clientâ??s needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) including ND-friendly DBT, and Positive Behaviour Support. I also integrate somatic and sensory-based interventions such as trauma-sensitive yoga, interoception awareness, body scans, breathing practices, and progressive muscle relaxation. My methods are always trauma-informed, holistic, and culturally sensitive, supporting clients to build safety, resilience, and meaningful engagement in daily life.

I combine Internal Family Systems Therapy and Person-centered therapy. I am nearly an IFS purist as I have trained in a dozen models and I have found that IFS is by far the most effective and transformational. If you have skeptical parts I welcome them, I suggest going to youtube and watching an IFS session in action or directly experiencing one with me.

I use art materials to explore and expand understanding of themes, dream analysis, Internal Family Systems approaches to work with defences and vulnerabilities, explore body sensations to gain information, creative thinking to draw threads of meaning together, dialogue, mindfulness, meditation and guided imagery, symbols and story. I use these methods with flexibility, to respond to the moment to moment needs and preferences of the client.

I use experiential tasks primarily from Focusing-Oriented Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy, for example chair work and focusing. Sometimes talking it out, exploring our concerns in that way and having someone truly listen and understand is what we need. In this way, I use the person-centred method of reflective listening, and the emotion-focused method of empathic exploration. Other times, engaging in more experiential tasks that elicit a deeper shift in our healing is what is called for and this is where Focusing-Oriented therapy really shines and transforms! Lastly, I support clients in connecting with God (as long as that is part of their faith and they want to/open to it). Most of the time this is simply through the methods described above. Occasionally prayer might be involved but this usually happens at the client's request.

My methods are rooted in collaboration, authenticity, and a deep respect for your lived experience. I take an eclectic, non-clinical approach that blends evidence-based practices with peer principles and systemic awareness. Hereâ??s how it looks in practice: Neuroaffirming care: I prioritise understanding your neurotype and work with your brain (not against it). Whether youâ??re exploring identity, unmasking, or navigating burnout, weâ??ll focus on strategies that honour your unique needs and strengths. Relational depth: Real change happens through trust, not checklists. I take the time to get to know you as a whole person, meeting you where youâ??re at without assumptions or judgement. Anti-oppressive practice: Systems often create barriers, not people. Together, weâ??ll name injustices and navigate them while centring your agency and resilience, and acknowledging intersecting identities. Peer principles: Drawing on frameworks like Intentional Peer Support, my approach emphasises mutuality, connection, and empowerment. Youâ??re not just a client - Iâ??m here as a collaborator. Trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches: I focus on your inherent strengths and resources, helping you build tools to thrive while acknowledging the impact of trauma and systemic harm. Practical problem-solving: From navigating complex systems like the NDIS, Centrelink, housing, education, or workplaces to advocating for yourself in challenging environments, I offer pragmatic solutions tailored to your goals. Narrative therapy and self-advocacy: Weâ??ll explore how narratives shape your experiences and co-create new stories that affirm who you are. Building self-advocacy skills is often central to this work. Ultimately, my methods are flexible and guided by what works best for you. Whether you need one-off support to troubleshoot a specific issue or ongoing collaboration to unpack deeper challenges, weâ??ll find a rhythm and approach that feels right.

As a counsellor, I utilise a variety of methods and approaches tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Mindfulness-based techniques form an integral part of my practice, helping clients cultivate present-moment awareness, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. I also draw upon evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and psychodynamic approaches to address specific concerns and promote positive change. Additionally, I emphasise the importance of building a strong therapeutic alliance, providing a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their experiences and emotions. By combining these methods, I aim to support individuals in their journey towards self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.

As mentioned I primarily use Internal Family Systems, but support this with a solution focused approach where I help you to find your strengths and bring awareness to the real issues that you are facing. I do this in a conversational style whilst listening and observing and gently probing areas with questions and thoughts to give you more insight and clarity. In Processwork I use a range of techniques (symbols work, role plays, visualization, drawing, dream analysis etc) to help you discover those parts of yourself that are perhaps unknown, less known, or perhaps marginalized - avoided, ignored, denied or disowned. This awareness allows you to recognize, accept and embrace these parts of yourself, and integrate them, and so become the best version of yourself.

I work with a range of methods(see profile information) to suit the person and where they are at. Often, I start therapy by introducing a range of tools to assist the person in being better able to self-regulate and manage life stressors. I work at building a trusting and safe environment where the person can feel vulnerable, because I see this as critical to transformative change and healing. I work at understanding the person's goals and what is of value to them in their lives, and support them to move toward the life they dream. I have a structured approach that includes: a check-in, homework feedback, ongoing assessment, working with issues, highlighting 'take-aways' from the session, and agreeing on actioning tasks to attend to between sessions.

I use a client-centred approach, drawing on a combination of therapeutic frameworks to help clients challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, process emotions, and strengthen relationships. My main focus is the therapeutic relationship, as I believe it is the foundation of effective therapy. A strong, trusting connection provides a safe space for exploration, growth, and meaningful change.

I chiefly use IFS, mindfulness/ACT, and hypnosis, alongside Polyvagal theory (Spiral), aspects of NLP, Gestalt Therapy, havening and compassion based approaches. My orientation is to work deeply on a personality and attachment level as I find this leads to the greatest change. I find myself sharing stories, anecdotes, and referring to various aspects of culture with my clients at times, often trying to assist them to understand the powerful impact of their social, family and cultural conditioning on their lives.

Mostly the underlying method is psychoanalytic or psychodynamic, however as people are so very different, where they're at when they come in and what is needed along the way can vary greatly. I enjoy working with dreams, imaginations and somatic issues and may bring in mindfulness, nature-based and practical strategies or practices as needed.

Person-Centered Therapy: I create a safe, empathetic space where clients can explore their feelings and experiences, fostering growth through active listening and unconditional positive regard. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, focusing on changing behaviors and thoughts that contribute to emotional distress. Trauma-Informed Therapy: I incorporate practices that recognize the impact of trauma, creating a safe space for clients to process past experiences at their own pace. Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Techniques: I use mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients stay present and accept their emotions without judgment. Narrative Therapy: I guide clients in rethinking their personal stories, helping them shift their perspective and gain control over their narrative. Strengths-Based Therapy: I focus on clientsâ?? existing strengths and resources to empower them in overcoming challenges and building resilience.

In life we can allow our thoughts to dominate and suppress our emotional needs and wants. This can result in disquiet and unease taking the form of anxiety, depression and more. Emotion-Focused Therapy uses your emotions as the guide to what sits behind this disquiet and helps to access the deeper emotions and gain understanding from them, leading to relief. Techniques such as two chair work, empty chair work and unfolding help support this. Focusing-Oriented Therapy encourages you to pause, reflect and understand the part of the self that is being suppressed. By giving it a voice the subconscious rises into the conscious and allows you to feel integrated and fully connected to all your emotions and thoughts. Person-Centred therapy is based in the belief that the power to heal is a natural inclination that sits within all of us and that being in a space with an other (the therapist) who can support the process of understanding where the current pain comes from, helps achieve relief. All my methods are centred in non-judgmental, empathetic and empowering practice.

My approach is integrative. I tailor the therapy to my clients by listening to them attentively and co-constructing an experience of healing and transformation that is uniquely suited to them. How do I do this? My methodological approach is predominantly influenced by mentalization and other metacognitive approaches to psychotherapy, but person-centred psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, CBT, emotion-focused therapy, somatic psychotherapy and attachment theory also all influence the methods I use.

I use ACT as a means to connect values within an individuals life to actions and behaviours that reflect those values. Thus the connections between value and behaviour is a crucial aspect of living a life that best suits the individual.

The relationship between therapist and client is fundamental to the healing process. I work with the exchange in the relationship to continue to build the relationship and to facilitate shared understanding of the person's difficulties. I pay attention to that which is unconscious and wanting to make itself known, either through the person's dreams, drawing, writing or physical symptom/s.

I employ a range of evidence-based methods tailored to meet each client's unique needs. My approach is integrative, drawing on various therapeutic modalities to create a comprehensive and personalized experience. One of the primary methods I use is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps clients develop psychological flexibility by encouraging them to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or avoiding them. This approach is particularly effective in helping individuals build resilience, cope with stress, and align their actions with their core values. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is highly effective for addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and negative thinking patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, allowing clients to develop healthier ways of thinking and acting. Gottman Method Couples Therapy is another key component of my practice, especially when working with couples. This method is grounded in decades of research on relationship dynamics and focuses on improving communication, increasing emotional connection, and resolving conflict. Itâ??s a powerful tool for helping couples strengthen their relationships and build lasting intimacy. In addition, I draw on Person-Centered Therapy inspired by Carl Rogers. This approach emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and the therapeutic alliance. It is foundational to my work, as it creates a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. Mindfulness practices are also integral to my work, influenced by Eckhart Tolle's teachings. I often guide clients in developing mindfulness skills to help them stay present, manage stress, and cultivate a deeper sense of peace and self-awareness. Finally, I incorporate Gestalt Therapy and Positive Psychology elements to encourage clients to fully experience the present moment and focus on their strengths and potential. These methods support clients in achieving personal growth and enhancing their overall well-being. By combining these methods, I can offer a holistic and adaptive approach that addresses my clients' diverse and complex needs, helping them navigate their unique journeys toward healing and fulfilment.

I use the therapeutic relationship first and foremost. Tracking the emotion in sessions, tying back to attachment and developmental trajectory, and staying present where the client is 'at', helping make sense of the stuck points or pain. There is always a sense of where the client is at. With permission from the client we explore the possibilities of hope and hoping.
