Psychotherapy

Online and in person, from my studio in Collingwood Yards arts and cultural precinct, Naarm/Melbourne.

An integrated and embodied approach to trauma healing and mental health care

Who I work with

A core focus of my work at Collingwood Yards is supporting the mental health of local artists and LGBTIQA+ communities — a collaborative space to find solid ground, navigate challenge and change, grieve, or heal from unresolved experiences that are weighing on your relationships, wellbeing, or creative process.

I also see people beyond these communities, often those seeking specialised care for the treatment of PTSD, traumatic bereavement, and the painful presence of absence in early-life relationships.

How I work

My practice is grounded in 20 years of clinical experience and extensive training in Deep Brain Reorienting® (DBR), embodied anatomy, developmental movement, and somatic psychotherapy.

Good to know

Usual appointment times are 9am, 10.15am, 11.45am, 2pm, and 3.15pm Monday to Friday (Melbourne time) and are open to adults based in Australia or Southeast Asia.

Services for new clients are currently limited to focused courses of sessions rather than longer-term therapy.

Fees are offered on a sliding scale, with Medicare and private health insurance rebates available. View fee schedule

My work is centred on psychotherapy rather than comprehensive assessment or report-writing services, such as those required for medicolegal matters and neurodevelopmental diagnoses.

Due to professional indemnity insurance limitations, I'm not able to see clients attending from the US or Canada.
