My practice is located just minutes from Batemans Bay, and I extend my therapeutic services across the South Coast of NSW. My practice is founded on the understanding that distress often disconnects us from our inner resilience and wisdom. My primary goal is to re-establish that vital connection, symbolised by the metaphorical Rock Stack that embodies stability and balance.
Working from a Therapeutic Framework that is Humanistic, Existential and Client-Centred, I utilise Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectic Behavioural Therapy to help you identify thoughts and behaviours that are affecting your current state of being. Recognising these patterns sets the stage for collaboratively developing better and healthier ways of thinking and behaving, enabling a freer, more fulfilling life.
For immediate concerns, my methodology incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which aids in establishing a new pattern of living. Techniques of mindfulness and relaxation are also employed to cultivate a sense of calm. For issues that are deeper and more entrenched, often tracing back to childhood or earlier life experiences and trauma, a more thorough approach like short-term psychoanalysis may be more appropriate. These issues require understanding, and trauma necessitates healing.
My practice draws from a rich tapestry of therapeutic approaches. This includes Reality Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Phototherapy, and Gestalt, among others. This eclectic approach allows me to tailor therapy to meet the unique needs of every client.
