Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

My learning has occurred over many years of personal and professional development. My life has taken me across many rural locations and a period of time in the city. Needless to say, I have a great connection with nature and therefore have spent the majority of my life in rural locations and value spending time in nature. I value being engaged in both solitary and group activities on a regular basis.

I work with a client centred focus, recognising that each person has their own unique experience and that I have resources that can support people in their quest to improve their wellbeing. I appreciate that each person has their own time frame for moving forward and that hurrying this process is counterproductive. However, I do believe that each person is capable of living a meaningful life no matter what their experience and that the ease for movement waxes and wanes as we encounter challenges. I use various modalities such as CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR and hypnosis. Sometimes therapy is about talking about and listening to their experience, sometimes it is about strengthening skills to manage unwanted emotions, intrusions, and sensations in more helpful ways.

I am guided by clients' goals for therapy and work to support clients make choices that support themselves in more effective ways.
