MOVE PAST YOUR PAST.
Therapy & Counselling in Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
Psychotherapy & Counselling services for individuals, families & teenagers.
Life doesn’t look the way you thought it would.
You find yourself stuck in a constant state of disconnection — like no matter what you try, things never quite feel “right.”
It feels like your emotions are controlling you, leaving you overwhelmed by the relentless pressure to achieve everything you’ve set out for yourself. The result? A lingering sense of anxiety, stress, and dissatisfaction that seems impossible to shake.
Your relationships are struggling too. Communication feels strained, and conflict has become all too familiar.
You’re tired of the cycles of disconnection and misunderstandings that dominate your life, yet breaking free feels out of reach. You wonder if there’s a way to express your needs without compromising your own boundaries — but figuring out how feels like a mystery.
Change is Possible.
Feel better. Truly Better.
Things don’t have to stay the way they are.
You can feel better — truly better. By exploring the connection between your past and present, you can rediscover a sense of calm, reconnect with yourself, and create deeper, healthier relationships.
Based in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, I work with adults and teens to help them achieve the calmness, confidence, and connection they’re seeking. Together, we’ll use evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & Positive Psychology, to uncover and heal the root causes of your struggles.
Let’s work together to create a life that feels fulfilling, grounded, and connected.

Adolescence is a particularly challenging stage of development, for both parents and their teens. It requires a sensitivity to your teenager’s emerging need for autonomy, whilst balancing their continuing need for connectedness. Today’s teenagers face complex issues that we did not experience in our own youth, and these can result in emotional distress. The pressure they feel to seek “perfection”, is further fuelled by the constant presence of social media.
Let me help you reduce anxiety & frustration, build self-reliance & resilience & manage anger.
-
Healing relationships by empowering families & couples to better understand their partner, children & themselves.
-
Exploring anger, where it comes from, and what purpose it is serving can be useful in learning to manage its outcomes. What is little understood is that we can “use anger well”. I have assisted many clients that have been wrongly labelled as having “anger issues”,when actually they simply needed support to learn how to “use anger well”.
Let me help you to explore & understand your anger, decrease the intensity, take charge of your emotions & feel more in control.
-
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons that people seek support through therapy. Whilst it is commonly accepted that anxiety is an unavoidable aspect of the human condition, we also know that it impacts our experience of life, if it’s frequency and intensity are excessive, and it is not managed effectively.
Let me help you to slow down & cultivate balance, learn to trust your instincts, redirect attention & adjust your attitudes.
-
Depression comes in all shapes and sizes, & no two experiences are the same. No matter what degree of depression is being experienced, it robs us of the experiences that make life meaningful. Depression clouds our judgement, makes us less available for relationships and decreases our ability to love, laugh and have fun.
Let me help you to understand your moods & subjective experience, explore new ways of thinking, feel comfortable within yourself & maximise your potential.
