My philosophy is to provide diversity friendly therapy in a calm and supportive environment. 

I understand that approaching a therapist can be a vulnerable experience, and that you may be finding it difficult to reach out, perhaps with a fear of judgement or criticism.

It is important to me to focus on your needs, values and experiences and to collaborate with you on your journey towards growth, connection and self-exploration. 

I aim to create a safe space where you can feel heard and understood. I will work with you to identify any goals you may have and work with you to develop positive strategies to achieve these.

I believe that you as the client are the expert in your own life. My role is to work together with you in a non-judgemental environment so that you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a safe setting.

​

• I work to build a strong and trusting relationship with my clients

• I see therapy as an opportunity for self-exploration and
  personal insight.

• I am committed to working with a broad range of clients,
  including First Nations peoples, those with disabilities and members of the LGBTIQA+ community.

• I believe that you are capable of making your own choices and decisions, and that my role as a therapist is to support
  and empower you to do so.

• I believe that challenging issues or behaviours can often
  be understood as coping mechanisms that arise in
  the context of our unique and complex lives.   
   

• What happens to us, affects us, and our experiences are also impacted by social systems, power differentials and structural disadvantage. These factors need to be acknowledged in a therapeutic context.
   

• I utilise a range of modalities and I maintain my professional practice by engaging in regular clinical supervision, peer review and maintaining membership with relevant professional associations.
