How I can help

Scope of Practise

Relationships, families, life transitions, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, neurodiversity and the human condition.

Clinical psychology & psychotherapy

Individual therapy with adults, adolescents and children, grounded in more than three decades of clinical practice.

Family mediation & parenting coordination

Helping families negotiate change — including separation and divorce — via constructive, non-adversarial ways forward.

Family & relationship therapy

Support for couples, parents and families, including reunification therapy after periods of disconnection.

Neurodiversity

Working with neurodivergent people and their families, including those living with autism, ADHD and PDA.

Life transitions & crises

Support through anxiety, depression, grief and significant change, at any stage of life.

Inclusive, non-judgemental practice

A welcoming space for all, including LGBTQIA+ people and people in diverse family structures and relationships.

My approach

Understanding people, in context.

Every person is different. Every family is different. Every relationship is different. I work collaboratively and without judgement, recognising that not everything needs to be “fixed” — sometimes what people need most is greater understanding, acceptance, or a different way of navigating their circumstances.

Trust, rapport and genuine human connection matter enormously. My practice is inclusive and welcoming of all, including people whose identities, families or relationships sit outside conventional expectations.

More about my approach
  • Collaborative rather than prescriptive
  • Respectful and non-judgemental
  • Grounded in more than 30 years of experience
  • Responsive to the individual, not formulaic
  • Inclusive of different identities, relationships and family structures
