Individual
Therapy

This involves one-to-one therapy sessions where we dive deep into your unique experiences. It all begins with a psychological assessment and formulation, a collaborative effort to unravel the layers of your concerns. Together, we explore the roots of the issue, identify patterns that might be keeping you stuck, and set goals for your recovery.

What sets my approach apart? It’s all about you.

Your individuality, the nature of your challenges, and your recovery goals shape the path we take. As a registered psychologist, I am trained in a number of different therapeutic modalities and I utilise visual and creative ways to support you on this journey. My main aim is that you leave therapy fully understanding yourself and with tools to help you cultivate a life that aligns you with your goals and values.

This session is useful for you even if you feel you’re doing okay in most aspect of life but want to seek more clarity about your life and improve your self-confidence.

Open communication is fundamental to our work together. If at any point you feel discomfort or have concerns about our therapeutic relationship, rest assured that discussing these feelings is not only encouraged but essential. We can openly explore your concerns, and together, we’ll navigate a resolution that ensures you feel supported and comfortable throughout our journey together.
