Philosophy & Vision
Hello & welcome!
So much can be gained by stepping back from the relentless project of life and taking time to understand ourselves. It is possible to learn and cultivate the skills needed to listen deeply and attend to our own needs. Often we are aware of voices in the mind that chatter away, sometimes of sensations in the body that are trying to speak, or of intuitive nudges and creative sparks that attempt to get our attention and lead us forward. Seldom do we give these phenomena our undivided attention to let them unfold. This is where transformation lives.
While I work with people of all genders, I have a special interest in women's empowerment and feel passionate about supporting women to:
- Restore confidence in who they are
- Live with good boundaries
- Deepen connection to Self & others
- Reinvigorate creative flow
- Live with meaning & authenticity.
Background
I have worked as a therapist since 2011 in various community settings, which has left me with a wide range of experience:
- Recovery work with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
- Support for military members and their families as they faced the many challenges of service life.
- Therapeutic support for people in a caring role for others.
- Workshops with young people who have had cancer in their lives + other chronic health groups.
- Counselling support for high school and university students.
- Art therapy & Counselling with NDIS participants.
