About Me and How I Work
My approach to therapy
My overarching aim is to provide a space where you can share your thoughts and feelings about difficulties in your life, and help you explore the underlying emotional and psychological factors that influence your experience.
A typical session
A typical session allows for the discussion of a range of themes, including links to early life experiences, family dynamics, patterns of attachment, interpersonal relationships, dreams, and deeply held emotions. The primary way that I work is called psychodynamic therapy, which is focuses on building a supportive, therapeutic relationship.
My background
My career began almost 15 years ago in children’s education, where I became interested in alternative methods of teaching and learning focused on creativity and nature connection. I pursued this interest to different parts of the world and learned a lot about the kind of guidance that helps people grow and develop. Most importantly I learned that being of genuine help to people at all stages of life begins with 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 (ACAP University College). I worked for several years in the Northern Territory before moving to Tasmania to set up my private practice in Hobart.
