In my private practice, I work alongside people - clients - from different generations, genders and cultures, to seek understanding about current psychological/relational/spiritual/physical dilemmas and travel together with them, towards harmony, healing and wholeness.
Client Types : Adults and Couples from any culture.
Approach : I have been working in private practice for ten years and thoroughly love working with people.
As a wife, mother of four adult children and grandmother of four grandchildren, I have learned a great deal about many of the situations people present with in my therapy space, through my own experiences. Completing my Masters of Psychotherapy gave me experience and theory to enhance my understanding of the human condition and I continue to learn with each person who I have the privilege of working with. I provide psychoeducation and utilise mindfulness meditation when appropriate. I also work alongside psychologists, psychiatrists and GPs when a team approach is needed.
My undergraduate training was Nursing, and this training plus 30 years of nursing experience also broaden my approach to working with people in distress.
I keep myself well, by immersing myself in my family, the great outdoors and volunteering in my local community and overseas. I also love reading autobiographies and enjoy a good saga.
Issues Covered : ADHD, adjustment disorders, depression, health anxiety and mind-body challenges, spiritual and existential concerns, migration, anxiety, sexuality, grief and loss though the life stages, relationship difficulties, parenting dilemmas and other situational crises.
