Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a credentialed mental health professional in Australia with over 32 years of clinical experience. Throughout my career, I have worked across a range of settings including private practice, community mental health, education, and trauma-focused services. My approach is compassionate, respectful, and tailored to each individual’s needs and goals, while also embracing a holistic perspective that considers the mind, body, and emotional wellbeing as interconnected.
I support individuals and couples dealing with a wide variety of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem, grief and loss, emotional regulation challenges, and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with trauma and long-term mental health conditions.
My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and holistic counselling approach. These approaches help clients gain insight, build coping strategies, and make meaningful, lasting change. Sessions are client-centred, collaborative, and always aligned with your personal pace, values, and readiness for growth.
I believe that you are the expert of your own life. You already have the inner resources to face your challenges — therapy can help uncover and strengthen them. Taking the first step toward a more balanced, fulfilling, and meaningful life takes courage. I am here to support and empower you on that journey.

Many people ask whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy is generally found to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit of remote care is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that suits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain consistency over time.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients can change therapists if they want a different match. For many people facing everyday mental health challenges, online therapy offers a practical, accessible way to receive evidence-based support while keeping treatment aligned with their needs and lifestyle.
