A little about me
Getting to know each other
This work is deeply important to me, both professionally and personally. My own experiences led me to become curious about how our relationships and experiences shape the way we see ourselves, connect with others and move through the world.
That curiosity became a professional path and continues to shape the care and commitment I bring to my work.
I approach therapy with warmth, compassion and curiosity.
My Philosophy
The Heart of the Work
I believe there is something powerful in coming to understand ourselves more deeply — what has shaped us, what we need, and the patterns that influence how we respond and relate.
For me, therapy isn't about telling you who to be. It's about creating space for greater self-understanding and awareness, so you can have more choice and agency in how you live and relate.
How I Work
Relational • Trauma-informed • Body-aware
Therapy with me is relational, attachment-based, and informed by the ways trauma can shape both the mind and body. I draw from somatic and trauma-informed approaches to support greater awareness, regulation, and connection — tailoring our work to your individual needs and pace.
Relational
The therapeutic relationship is an important part of how I work. Together, we can notice relational patterns as they emerge and explore different ways of expressing needs, navigating boundaries and being in relationship.
Trauma-informed
I understand patterns and responses in the context of what you have experienced. Our work is collaborative and paced with you, with an emphasis on safety, choice and agency.
Body-aware
Our experiences can show up not only in our thoughts and emotions, but also in the ways our bodies respond. Drawing on my training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, we may gently notice sensations, movement and impulses to understand habitual responses and create opportunities to respond differently.
The Meaning of Threads of Alchemy
Threads of Alchemy reflects how I think about therapy — the experiences, relationships and patterns that become woven into who we are, and the possibility of working with what is already there to create greater awareness, choice and new ways of living and relating.
Professional Background & Training
I hold a Master of Counselling, have over nine years’ experience working as a counsellor, and am registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
My work has centred on trauma-informed practice and supporting people impacted by complex trauma and difficult relational experiences.
I have undertaken further specialist training in complex trauma, narcissistic and antagonistic abuse, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which informs and continues to shape the way I work.
