Clinical psychology for adults — Australia-wide via telehealth, with in-person appointments available in Kew, Melbourne.
When Things Start To Feel Heavy
Sometimes things can feel overwhelming after a difficult experience, significant life change, or period of stress.
​
At other times, the weight builds more quietly — a gradual accumulation of responsibilities, pressures, and expectations while continuing to push through despite feeling exhausted.
​
Over time, the nervous system can become accustomed to operating under pressure, making it harder to fully switch off, rest deeply, or feel settled within yourself, even when life appears manageable on the outside.
​
Here, you'll have the opportunity to slow things down, make sense of your experiences, and gently explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Together, we can work towards greater awareness, steadiness, and self-compassion.
Areas of Support
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Whether you're navigating a specific difficulty or feeling the cumulative weight of life's challenges, therapy can provide a space to better understand what you're experiencing and find a way forward.
Complex Trauma and PTSD
Working with the nervous system to process experiences that continue to shape how you respond to the present.
Chronic Stress and Burnout
Understanding the impact of long-term pressure and developing more sustainable ways of living and coping.
Anxiety and Overthinking
Developing greater awareness of the patterns that keep your mind feeling busy, overwhelmed, or stuck in overthinking.
Feeling Numb or Disconnected
Learning to reconnect with yourself, your emotions, and the world around you after periods of disconnection.
Shame and Internal Criticism
Developing a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with yourself.
Difficulty Resting
Building the capacity to slow down, switch off, and rest without guilt or constant mental effort.
Feeling safe and supported is the foundation of therapy.
​
Therapy unfolds at a pace that feels manageable, with careful attention to your nervous system and sense of safety. There is no expectation to share more than feels comfortable, and you remain in control of what is explored.
​
Consent, collaboration, and respect guide every stage of therapy, creating a steady and supportive space where you can explore your experiences without judgement.
A Steadier Path Forward
Finding the right therapist is an important part of feeling supported.
