"Change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end." Making lasting change can be challenging, but remaining stuck in patterns that limit your life goals can be even harder. I provide a safe, non-judgemental, and supportive space to help you work through challenges, build resilience, and achieve meaningful change. As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and trauma therapist, I work collaboratively with adults to set personalised goals and develop strategies to manage anxiety, depression, complex trauma (CPTSD), PTSD, and other mental health concerns. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centred, with a focus on safety, empowerment, and emotional regulation. I offer a variety of counselling and therapeutic services, including: EMDR Therapy – effective for trauma, PTSD, and distressing memories Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work Solution-Focused Therapy Mindfulness and Somatic-Based Interventions Flash Technique for gentle trauma processing I also bring a somatic perspective through my training as a trauma-informed yoga teacher, helping clients connect with their bodies and regulate nervous system responses.
