Thank you for taking the time to visit my work.
SESSION AVAILABILITY
My work is grounded in more than thirty years of professional clinical practice, and I continue to feel deeply honoured to support individuals not only in recovering from trauma, but in moving beyond it with greater clarity, strength, and self-understanding.
I primarily work online via Zoom, allowing me to provide consistent and accessible care to clients across Australia and internationally. Online sessions offer the same level of depth, therapeutic presence, and clinical structure as in-person work and are highly effective for most presentations.
In addition to online work, I offer in-person sessions from my private practice in Daylesford, Victoria. My consulting space is a purpose-built office located within a serene forest setting. Many clients find this environment inherently regulating, and those travelling to attend sessions may wish to consider a short stay in Daylesford. For some, this can be extended into a more personalised retreat-style therapeutic experience, which can be discussed where relevant.
As I operate an independent private practice, I am able to offer a degree of flexibility in scheduling. I make every effort to accommodate appointments that suit both the client and myself, including selected evening and weekend sessions where needed, without additional fees.
I generally aim to offer an initial appointment within one week of contact.

You are welcome to call, text, or email. I aim to respond within 24 hours, often sooner.
A brief intake form and agreement are required prior to commencing work together.
There is no obligation to commit to ongoing sessions. However, for meaningful therapeutic progress, I generally recommend an initial framework of three sessions, with many clients benefiting from a longer arc of work over six to twelve sessions or more, depending on the depth and nature of the work.
Some clients also choose to engage in longer-term work for complex presentations, personal development, or ongoing psychological support.
INSURANCE AND ACCESS
Private health insurance rebates are available with most major providers.
A mental health care plan is not required to access sessions.
PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENTS
In addition to clinical work, I am available for workshops, professional speaking engagements, trauma education, and collaborative projects.
Details of upcoming events, courses, and publications are shared via my website and social platforms.
A PERSONAL NOTE
Psychotherapy, at its deepest level, is not simply the treatment of symptoms. It is a structured encounter with the complexity of being human.
My work is grounded in the belief that individuals are not defined solely by what has happened to them. With the right conditions, people are capable of insight, integration, and meaningful change.
The aim is not perfection, but a more coherent, flexible, and self-directed way of living.
At its best, therapy supports a movement from survival toward conscious, intentional life.
