You might appear capable on the outside, while something inside feels unsettled, overwhelmed, or difficult to understand.


Perhaps anxiety follows you through daily life. Or you find yourself repeating patterns that don’t fully make sense. Or something in your relationship no longer feels the way it once did.

You do not have to work this out alone.

Psychotherapy that goes beyond talking

I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy in Melbourne and online across Australia, grounded in a relational and depth-oriented way of working.

Many people come to therapy feeling like something in them needs to be different, or better, or more together. But therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about taking the time to understand what’s been shaped through your experiences, and meeting yourself with more clarity and care.

I bring together Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic IFS and Wholebody Focusing to help you explore the emotional patterns, past experiences and relationships that shape how you feel today.

Rather than relying on insight alone, we work with both mind and body, creating opportunities for deeper understanding, emotional change and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

How this work is different

Many people come to therapy having already tried to “think their way through” what they’re experiencing.

This work goes further.

We bring attention to the connection between mind and body, and to the relational patterns that shape how you experience yourself and others.

It is a collaborative process, grounded in curiosity and careful attention to what is unfolding.
