About Me and How I Work
My approach to therapy
My overarching aim is to provide a space where you can be understood, as well as help you explore the underlying psychological factors which influence your life, so you can develop in the direction of your desire for growth and change.
My background, training and experience
My career began almost 15 years ago in childhood education, where I became interested in alternative methods of teaching and learning focused on creativity and nature connection. My experience working in this area across diverse communities in Australia and abroad were formative in shaping my views on the kind of guidance that helps people grow and develop. Most importantly, I learned that supporting others’ self-expression requires deep listening for the uniqueness of their lived experience. This insight motivated me to train first as an Art Therapist with the Sydney College of Complimentary Medicine, then as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist with the Australian College of Applied Psychology. I worked for several years in the Northern Territory, where I continued to develop my skills and professional training, including a particular focus on psychodynamic therapy, before moving to Tasmania in 2022 to set up my private practice in Hobart.
