Psychotherapy

Local artists

A core focus of my work at Collingwood Yards is supporting the mental health and wellbeing of practising artists, drawing on my experience counselling staff and students at the Victorian College of the Arts and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music.

LGBTIQA+ affirming care

I’m a proud member of Melbourne’s Queer community and offer trauma psychotherapy that is affirming of people’s diverse genders, sexualities, neurotypes, and relationships.

Culturally responsive practice

I have substantial experience working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, and am committed to ongoing learning in culturally safe and responsive practice.

Bookings are currently open to local artist and LGBTIQA+ communities.

If you're seeking DBR psychotherapy outside my practice focus, check the global DBR therapist directory or try an online search for local mental health professionals who have completed DBR Level 2 or 3.
