Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! I’m Lizzie 🙂
I am a clinical psychotherapist with 10+ years across the public, NGO and private sectors. As a therapist, I have a warm, creative, interactive and relational style that is trauma informed, client-centred and supports you toward harmony in the body-mind with a gentle focus on somatic mindfulness.
My early days as a therapist were spent as a drug and alcohol clinician in the public sector – a baptism of fire. But through this work I began to see the link between addiction and trauma; particularly early-childhood trauma / unresolved suffering.
This sparked a curiosity in me, and I began to pursue training in trauma-informed modalities, such as Mindfulness-integrated CBT, Internal Family Systems and Poly-vagal Theory, which lead me to begin working for Australia’s ‘National Centre of Excellence ‘ for those with complex-trauma. Here, I supported those struggling with the impacts of complex trauma and a disability.
In this position I was privileged to work with some of the most marginalised communities, where I witnessed the full range of the behavioural, emotional and psychological impacts of trauma/unresolved suffering. It was a real honour to support such people who would normally fall ‘through the cracks’. I particularly enjoyed supporting clients who identified as neurodivergent!
Today, I practice as a Clinical Psychotherapist in private practice in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia where I specialise in support highly sensitive people recover from complex trauma. I also provide coaching to people struggling to manage PMDD.
As a trauma-informed therapist I believe in tailoring my approach to suit you. People that have worked with me often report feeling more at peace with who they are, a greater capacity to hold space for life’s challenges, and experience more harmonious relationships with others and within themselves.
I am privileged to witness and support the inner transformation of my clients, and find great fulfilment in partnering with them on their journey.

Many people ask whether remote therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or managing life transitions, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is the flexibility it provides. Clients can choose the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging – making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if a different therapeutic fit is desired it is possible to switch to another therapist at any time. This accessibility and adaptability make online therapy a practical option for many people seeking support.
