About me

I retrained as a Social Worker after spending a decade trying a wide range of jobs in an effort to find my calling. I also have a Bachelor of Art with Honours in Philosophy so I can talk in detail about a number of philosophical approaches to life that are supported by research. When I am not doing therapy I like to go swimming, spend time with my family, listen to 90s and 00s EDM and alternative rock, and dabbling in TTRPGs.

I speak:

English

Location:

Ocean Shores, Australia

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
DBT: Dialectical behaviour therapyRecommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.
Narrative therapyRecommended for those who want to rewrite the way they view their life story and feel more empowered in their personal journey.

I do not see you as broken or wrong and I am not here to give you a label. I provide you with a safe space to share and develop a great understanding of your story, not just some generic story that you happen to fit. I will help you find solutions that can resolve your issues or help you manage your issues more effectively in order to reduce the impacts.
