Hello, I’m glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way to this page, you may be searching for support during a difficult time, or perhaps you’re ready to make positive changes in your life. Either way, I want you to know that reaching out for help is a courageous first step, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.

A Safe, Supportive Space for Your Mental Health

I provide professional counselling and therapy services from my private practice in Goodwood, Adelaide. My approach is built on creating a warm, supportive environment where you can feel truly safe to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. I understand that opening up about personal struggles can feel vulnerable, which is why I’m committed to making our therapeutic space one where you feel heard, valued, and respected.

How I Can Help You

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, or simply feeling stuck in life, I offer personalised mental health care tailored to your unique needs and goals. My work with clients in Adelaide covers a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety, Anger and Stress Management: I help you develop practical tools to manage overwhelming feelings and regain a sense of calm and control in your daily life.
• Depression: Together, we’ll work to understand the roots of your depression and create strategies for finding hope, meaning, and joy again.
• Relationship Challenges: Whether you’re navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, or major life transitions, I provide support to strengthen your connections.
• Grief and Loss: I offer compassionate support as you process loss and find ways to move forward while honouring what you’ve experienced.
• Life Transitions: Career changes, parenthood, retirement, or other major shifts can be destabilising. I help you navigate these transitions with clarity and confidence.
• Trauma Recovery: I provide a safe space to process difficult experiences at your own pace, using trauma-informed approaches.
• Self-Esteem and Personal Growth: Sometimes therapy isn’t about crisis—it’s about becoming the person you want to be. I support you in developing greater self-awareness and reaching your potential.
• Sexual and Intimacy Concerns: Sometimes therapy is sought out for sexual and intimacy concerns. I am a specialist in sex therapy and sexology. For more information about this check out my professional services page.

My Approach to Therapy

I believe that effective therapy is built on a strong therapeutic relationship. You’re not just another appointment in my calendar—you’re a whole person with a unique story, strengths, and aspirations. My approach is collaborative, meaning we work together to identify your goals and the best path forward.

I draw on evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to what works best for you. This might include Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS – or working with parts therapy) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, person-centered therapy or other techniques depending on your needs. What matters most is that our work together feels right for you.

In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, professional environment where you can speak freely. I create a space free from judgment, where your experiences are validated and your voice is central to the therapeutic process.

Conveniently Located in Goodwood, Next Door to the heart of Adelaide

My practice is located in Goodwood, making it easily accessible for clients throughout Adelaide’s inner southern suburbs and beyond. Just minutes from the CBD, Goodwood offers a peaceful setting away from the city’s hustle, with excellent public transport connections and parking options.

I understand that convenience matters when you’re committing to regular therapy. My Goodwood location means you can fit appointments into your schedule without adding unnecessary stress to your day.

Why Choose Private Practice Mental Health Care?

This is a really good question. When you work with me in my private practice, you receive personalised attention and continuity of care that larger institutions , not for profit organisations often can’t provide. You’ll see the same therapist every session—me—which allows us to build trust and go deeper in our work together. There’s no rotating through different practitioners or feeling like you’re starting over each time.

I also offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your life, and our work together moves at a pace that feels right for you. You are not limited to an amount of sessions, these are never capped. See me as often or as little as you need. Your mental health journey is yours, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Additionally to this, my sessions are private and confidential, if you choose you don’t need to tell other health care practitioners your seeing me. Or you can, and I will provide coordinated care options.

What to Expect in Our First Session

I know that first appointment can feel daunting. Let me walk you through what to expect. When signing on as a new client, theres a comprehensive intake process.

You’ll receive several questionnaires before our first session asking about your personal details, current mental health, and overall wellbeing. Additionally, you may be asked to complete assessments related to depression, attachment, anxiety, trauma, or other areas relevant to your care.

In our initial session, we’ll take time to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what’s brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to achieve, and a bit about your background. This is also your opportunity to ask me questions, share any concerns, and see if we’re a good fit.

There’s no pressure to share everything at once. We’ll move at your pace, and I’ll make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. My goal in that first session is simply to understand how I can best support you and to begin building the foundation of trust that makes therapy effective.

You Deserve Support

Life can be incredibly challenging and complex, we don’t live single issue lives, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether you’re in crisis or simply seeking personal growth, professional mental health care can provide the support, insights, and tools you need to create meaningful change.

I’m passionate about helping people in Adelaide find their path to wellness. In our warm, supportive therapeutic environment, you’ll have the space to heal, grow, and discover your own resilience and strength.
