Let's work together

Working with trauma, mental health, and neurodivergence

I work with trauma, mental health, and neurodivergence. I use therapies like EMDR, ACT, CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and approaches that use strengths, play, nature, and the arts. You don't need to know what any of those acronyms mean to start work with me. We work out together what suits you.

My background is social work. That shapes how I think about your life, the world around you, and the practical things that help or get in the way of therapy. I'll work to make sessions as safe as we can. If you're feeling courageous and ready to do the work, I can be with you to support you.

Sessions are available in person, online, or by phone, depending on your preferences and access needs.

Services

What I can help with.

A list of the areas I work with most often. If you don't see your situation here, get in touch, this list isn't exhaustive.

Trauma

Trauma therapy

Trauma affects the way we think, feel, and function, often in ways that are hard to name. I offer trauma therapy for neurodivergent women, gender-diverse people, and other adults, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy for processing traumatic experiences. Sessions move at your pace, with your safety always the priority.

Mental health

Mental health

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, complex grief, or ongoing stress, I provide consistent, non-judgmental support. We work together to understand what's driving your experience and build practical strategies that fit your life.

ADHD

ADHD support

Support across the full ADHD journey, from recognising symptoms and navigating diagnostic referrals, through to coaching, NDIS supports, and strategies for daily life. I understand ADHD from both a clinical and lived experience perspective.

Autism

Autism support

Neurodivergent-affirming support for autistic adults and young people, including screening, diagnostic referral pathways, NDIS access, and ongoing coaching. Sessions are adapted to your communication style and sensory needs.

Neurodivergent support

Neurodivergent support

An anti-oppressive, neuro-affirming approach to practice, which means your neurotype is understood as a difference, not a deficit. Sessions are tailored to your unique strengths, communication preferences, and sensory needs. All neurotypes are welcome here.

EMDR

EMDR therapy

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is an evidence-based therapy used to process distressing memories and experiences that continue to affect how you feel and function today. I'm Level 2 EMDR-trained and experienced in delivering EMDR via telehealth.

LGBTQIA+ support

LGBTQIA+ support

A genuinely affirming space for LGBTQIA+ people, including those navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, mental health, or trauma. I'm a connected ally to the community and bring that understanding into my practice.

Grief and loss

Grief and loss

Grief is not linear and it doesn't follow a timeline. I provide compassionate support for people navigating loss in all its forms, bereavement, relationship breakdown, diagnosis, identity, and life transitions.

Chronic illness

Chronic illness

Living with a chronic illness affects every part of life. I support people to find meaning, manage their condition, and maintain a sense of identity and purpose beyond diagnosis.

Family support

Family support

Support for families navigating parenting challenges, relationship dynamics, conflict, and change. I work with the whole system, not just the individual, to help your family find its footing.

Women's empowerment

Women's empowerment

Support for women navigating trauma, abuse, identity, and the process of reclaiming their own power. I walk alongside you, at your pace, in your direction, without judgment.

Disability

Disability support

Support across assessment, advocacy, and access to community services. I have extensive experience navigating the NDIS and other disability support systems, and I can help you understand your options and exercise your rights.
