Individual Therapy

Available as Face-to-Face and Online Therapy

The relationship we have with ourselves is sometimes fraught with challenges. Unfinished business from our past may influence our experience in the present. Unexpected traumas and life itself may leave us at an emotional crossroads. 

Are you experiencing symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, or addiction? Have you lost a sense of direction for your life or feel like you’re existing rather than living? If you are struggling with your sense of identity, or experiencing a crisis of confidence, I offer a friendly, supportive, non-judgemental space in which to work towards understanding what is happening for you.

Working together I will help you understand the underlying causes of your issues, and to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and experience of being in the world.

The practice of Gestalt therapy focuses on your experience in the present. Working in the here and now Gestalt therapists always commence from what has most interest/energy for you now. This is not to say what has taken place in the past and what concerns you about the future are not relevant, rather they are explored in the context of how they are impacting/ influencing you now.

Relationship Therapy

Honest, authentic relationships are essential for personal wellbeing. Often, our personal issues play a significant role in our interpersonal relationships. It is also not uncommon for people in close relationships to experience challenges at times with how they communicate their differing needs and wants, their hopes and dreams. 

Relationships require ongoing effort and commitment from each person in the relationship. Are you experiencing a sense of disharmony or disconnection in your relationship? Do you feel like communication just isn’t working effectively sometimes or that conversations seem to often end up in arguments or distancing from one another? Perhaps it seems you want different things, or have different expectations of what you want your relationship to be. You may be experiencing a loss of intimacy and are worried if your relationship will last the distance. Sometimes, you struggle to communicate your needs.

Additional factors such as life transitions, ill health, the experience of aging, caring for a loved one, empty nest syndrome, physical decline or any sudden unexpected change can influence the life and liveliness of our relationships. Seeking therapeutic support at times of great challenge can be supportive.

If you identify with these feelings, relationship therapy can offer help to move forward. 

Eco Psychotherapy (Nature Based)

Available as Face-to-Face Therapy only

As a therapist grounded in the principles of Gestalt therapy, I advocate for a broader perspective that encompasses our relationship with the natural world. I recognise in myself and as a human collective, we’ve drifted away from our intrinsic connection with the environment that has sustained us for millennia. This disconnection often lies at the core of much of our distress, that I feel runs in the background of my experience as low-key grief.

This fundamental truth has often been overlooked or relegated to the side-lines. In my practice, I embrace a holistic approach, drawing from the wisdom of nature to inform our healing journey. Whether conducting sessions on my property nestled in the tranquil hinterland of the Sunshine Coast or amidst the serene surroundings of Kondalilla National Park, I invite clients to immerse themselves in the natural world.

Here, amidst the rustling leaves and the gentle flow of streams, we delve into the depths of the self within the context of the broader ecosystem. Nature becomes not just a backdrop but an active participant in our therapeutic process. It offers solace, nurturance, and a profound reminder of our inherent belongingness.

Through this reconnection with the natural world, clients are reminded of their significance and interdependence within the web of life. It’s a gentle yet powerful affirmation of our intrinsic worth and the interconnectedness that binds us all.
