"Some of us are not meant to belong. Some of us have to turn the world upside down and shake the hell out of it until we make a place in it." Elizabeth Lowell
I have over 20 years of experience providing counselling and psychotherapy to a diverse range of people and groups. I offer sessions in South Melbourne and am committed to offering authentic, respectful and compassionate psychotherapy and
relationship counselling to people from all walks of life. I moved into psychotherapy after spending time in Australian indigenous communties. Whilst being immersed in their art and culture, I felt a strong desire to alleviate suffering and injustice. At the time I was an art dealer working exclusively with talented indigenous artists and witnessed their exploitation. How could I be of service? This question set me on a personal and professional path of inquiry and a subsequent career move. I am often asked "how do you work?" as a therapist. My answer to this is that I do not follow just one model of working but rather incorporate skills and techniques from the many trainings and traditions I have studied. Each one of us has a unique process and I adopt the 'beginners mind' approach and look for what is trying to emerge, rather than adhere to a particular theory. Some of my particular interests and areas of experience are in
- somatic s*x education
- traditional and non-traditional relationships (polyamory, LGBTQI, kink)
- life changes
- lack of meaning and fulfilment in life
- anxiety, stress and depression
- compulsive behaviours
- self-sabotaging and destructive behaviours
- addictions and addictive tendencies
- self-esteem issues
