Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

For the last ten years I have worked with clients who have a history of complex trauma, both within the child protection space providing clinical intervention to best support them and in private practice. I have extensive training in trauma, including: ACT for trauma, Trauma informed care, Blue Knot Foundation Treatment of Complex Trauma and Trauma Informed Care, Emotion Focused Couples Therapy and Trauma, Working with Shame, Certificate in Expressive Therapies plus full registration as a general psychologist. I chose to work in this field because I believe given the right space, everyone has the capacity to heal and live a life that is meaningful to them. I offer therapeutic services that are evidence-based approaches, like ACT, Expressive Therapies, Psycho-education, and Sensorimotor Approaches etc. from a relational attachment based framework. I am also part of a network of professionals so if the client is not able to benefit from what I can offer, I can seek a suitable alternative for them.
Cost is $150 per session; session times are 60 mins, if client wants to explore healing through expressive therapy session times are 1.5 hours, $190 per session. I am experienced in working with couples where a trauma history is present. Session times for couples are 1.5 hours at $190.00.
It is normal for clients to become overwhelmed during therapy. I always ensure clients set their own pace and when they become overwhelmed we will stop and go through a grounding and breathing process and I have on hand the use of weighted blankets and other comforts. The therapy space I offer is trauma informed. The client is in charge, they are the experts in their own recovery and I see my role to walk alongside offering a space and a framework that can facilitate this to occur. The experience I have ensures clients can expect to be held safely as they process their experiences. I believe given the right opportunity everyone has the capacity to heal from what they have experienced and connect into life in a way of their choosing.
