I work with clients who have Mental Health Care Plans for which you will be given a rebate through Medicare, NDIS, Victims Services, EAP funding as well as private fee paying.
After graduating with a degree in Social Work, I worked with children, young people and families for many years. In recent years I have invested myself into training in some of the most evidence based models for counselling. This is to ensure that you find lasting change for your life.
I am confident in supporting you if you are experiencing the following:
- PTSD and complex trauma , including recovery from domestic violence and sexual assault
- Mental health concerns with anxiety and depression
- Separation and divorce , including support for children
- Couple counselling with a focus on supporting couples with trauma and / or mental health challenges
- Family counselling with children or adult children
I use the following models in my counselling work:
- EMDR ( eye movement desensitisation and processing) for adults, teenagers and children
- Trauma informed CBT ( cognitive behavioural therapy)
- Somatic based therapies , including sensory motor psychotherapy and others which consider the whole self – body, mind and emotions
- Skill building using the body, including breath and muscle relaxation
- Skill building for relationships including communication, conflict resolution and assertiveness
- Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) for impulse control and emotional regulation
- Attachment based therapies such as Emotion Focused Therapy and Theraplay
- Play therapy and creative therapies, using sand tray, art and movement for children
- Models embedded in neuroscience including polyvagal theory
