Who I work with

​I support individuals and couples navigating:

• Anxiety, stress, and feeling overwhelmed

• Life transitions and uncertainty

• Relationship challenges

• Cultural identity and family expectations

• Intergenerational conflict and difficult past experiences

​

I have a particular interest in working with Asian Australians and those from culturally diverse backgrounds who may feel caught between different worlds.

​

​My approach

​My work is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect.

​

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, allowing me to tailor our work to what you need, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

​

This includes:

• Person-centred therapy: creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood.

• Psychodynamic therapy: exploring how past experiences and patterns may be shaping your present.

• Mindfulness-based approaches: helping you slow down, notice what's happening within you, and respond with greater awareness.

• Narrative therapy: gently exploring the stories you hold about yourself and opening up new ways of seeing your life.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): supporting you to move towards what matters, even when things feel difficult.

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): building skills to manage intense emotions and navigate relationships more effectively.

• Motivational Interviewing: helping you work through uncertainty and strengthen your motivation for change.

​

Rather than focusing on techniques alone, I focus on what feels most helpful and meaningful for you, working at your pace, and adapting as your needs evolve.

​

What it's like to work with me

Clients often describe my approach as:

• Warm and non-judgemental

• Thoughtful and reflective

• Gentle, but honest when needed

​

I believe meaningful change happens when you feel safe enough to be yourself, and supported enough to explore what needs to shift.

A little more about me

Outside of my work, I'm a mum to a thoughtful and spirited teenage son, and I share my home with a Siamese cat, Odin, who is naturally skittish but, over time, has learned to trust.  That experience often reminds me how important patience, safety, and consistency are in building trust.

​

I also enjoy travelling and learning about different cultures, which continues to deepen my understanding of people's stories, values, and ways of seeing the world.
