I work with individuals and couples in a number of areas including:
• Dealing with depression
• Living with loss
• Adjusting to parenthood
• Using anxiety
• Relating effectively
• Loving oneself
• Digging under anger
|
Because I work on the basis of each individual's needs and issues, the work we do together may be either shorter or longer term.
Counselling or psychotherapy is different for every individual and effective therapy depends on a strong and genuine connection between you and the therapist. I therefore provide the first session without charge and use it both as an information sharing exercise as well as assessing the connection between us and whether or not I believe I am able to help. |

Working in the corporate healthcare industry for more than 20 years I developed a real interest in the treatment of depression and ways to foster psychological and spiritual wellbeing. For several of those years I was a Lifeline counsellor both on the crisis phones and with personal face-to-face counselling and have been in private practice in Glebe since 2005.

One of my strongest beliefs is that every person is unique. I therefore work closely with my clients to select the most appropriate and self-empowering approach for each one. I also believe that the only way to deal with whatever pain one is experiencing, is to go through it - not over it, around it or push it down but through it; at the same time often the difficult or unwelcome things that happen to us in life can also provide the greatest learning for us. |

$100 - $120 per 50 minute session. Because I do not believe that mental health should only be available to those able to afford it I also make allowance in my practice to see clients who do not have the ability to pay the full rate. |
