My focus is to create a warm, compassionate, safe space for you to explore your past, values and life challenges. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to collaboratively work towards your goals, and support you to not only survive but thrive as you face life's daily challenges. During our sessions I will help you develop a compassionate stance towards yourself and learn to be present and engaged in your life, staying connected to what matters most, even when things are difficult. In fact it is often through our struggles that we have the most opportunity to grow and deepen our capacity for empathy, love and understanding.

I have first-hand lived experience of the cycle of addiction and can provide a non-judgmental, empathic and solutions-focused space.

At Practice 371 we are committed to offering specialist inclusive care to those with concerns around their eating behaviours and body image. These can exist anywhere along a continuum from formally diagnosed eating disorders to problematic eating behaviours or exercise, concerns with weight and shape, or the effects of dieting and diet culture. Our team use a non-diet approach, and are aligned with the Health At Every Size (HAES) movement. Our priority is the respectful care of all people and the development of helpful thoughts and behaviours around food and bodies, rather than a specific focus on weight and size.

My approach focuses on giving attention to the emotional and the practical. This begins in offering a space to share your issues and concerns around what has led you to counselling and how they may be impacting you in life. We can then explore what is important to you and what your expectations of therapy are. Based on this discussion and understanding, we will strategize towards goals and outcomes that will formulate a plan you feel comfortable with, holding space for emotional processing along the way.
