My Client Promise
I am passionate about helping clients who are struggling emotionally. I work with clients utilising a trauma-informed and client centred approach. I believe empowering clients is integral to helping them become their best self. I use a practical and supportive approach.
All humans experience emotional difficulties – I focus on normalising the human experience and providing psycho-education to help clients understand how to work with their mind not against it. As an experienced GP, I intuitively link the mind and body which allows me to provide care for the whole person within the context of their family and community. I work in a collaborative approach with other team members if required. I can (and prefer) to create a Mental Health Plan for my clients during the first session. I am able to prescribe mood medications if needed and refer to specialists if required.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Acceptance and Committment Therapy
