Neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-aware psychology support for adults and older teens navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, identity, life transitions, late-diagnosed ADHD or autism, and the pressure of being the one others rely on.
In person in Katoomba, Blue Mountains, and online across Australia.
You are coping on the outside but exhausted underneath.
You have spent a long time being capable, responsible, or the one others rely on.
You are navigating burnout, chronic stress, masking, identity change, late diagnosis, or a life transition that has made your usual ways of coping feel harder to rely on.
You want experienced care that feels thoughtful, practical, collaborative and genuinely human, not rushed, clinical or focused on changing who you are.
Therapy with me is collaborative, reflective and practical. Together, we make sense of what's happening, notice patterns that may have developed over time, and find ways forward that fit your life, your strengths and your nervous system.
Often, the ways we cope make sense in the context of stress, responsibility, trauma, neurodivergence, family roles or environments that have not been a good fit.
My role is to offer enough safety, understanding and perspective for change to become possible.
This practice is guided by five principles:
Collaborative: shaped with, not for, those we support.
Evidence-informed: grounded in research and professional expertise.
Neuroaffirming: honouring individual ways of thinking, feeling, and learning.
Trauma-informed: fostering safety, predictability, and choice.
Strengths-based: recognising and building on existing capacities.
Therapy that is thoughtful, practical, experienced, and genuinely human.
