I have a diverse range of interests and love working with adults (young, middle aged, and older adults). I enjoy working with people who are experiencing difficulties as a result of life changes (such as relationship changes, career changes, retirement, moving from other areas or countries), who are considering life changes, and/or who are struggling with existential issues (including life, death, identity, meaning and purpose issues).

 

I also have a special interest in working with people affected by physical and health related difficulties, especially Cancer, Diabetes (including Type 1 Diabetes), perimenopause and menopause (including medical menopause), workplace injuries, and other health events and illnesses. 

 

In addition to these areas above, I work with people with a range of experiences. Some of the reasons people come to see me include:

​

• Low mood

• Low self-esteem and confidence

• Grief, loss and bereavement

• Depression 

• Bipolar Disorder (Type 1)

• Worry

• General anxiety 

• Social anxiety

• Panic attacks

• Phobias

• Adjustment difficulties

• Health and/or illness-related difficulties, including experience of cancer (from pre-diagnosis onwards), diabetes (especially Type 1, MODY, LADA, and secondary diabetes), endometriosis, perimenopause, menopause (including medically induced).

• Stress

• Trauma (including PTSD)

• Work-related difficulties and/or injuries (including occupation-specific such as police, first responders, frontline workers)

• Sleep difficulties

• Addictions (alcohol, other drugs, pornography, gambling etc)

• Relationship difficulties (I do not see couples together but see many people individually who are experiencing distress in their relationships)

• Family planning and/or decision-making difficulties and/or grief and loss around this area (including people who are childless whether by choice or not)

• Schizophrenia and other disorders which involve psychosis

​

I work under a range of funding models. Please see here for information about fees and rebates.
