Psychotherapy & Counselling

Professional, evidence-based psychotherapy for adults, teenagers (13+), and families - Byron Bay, Bangalow & Online.

My work is relational, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, with a focus on emotional safety, collaboration, and sustainable change. I am trained in a diverse range of modalities and draw primarily on Narrative Therapy principles.​

Individual Counselling. Medicare Rebates Available.

Individual Counselling

Individual counselling offers space to explore the stories and experiences that shape your life, and supports you to move towards preferred ways of being. 

I support people experiencing the impact of:
  • complex trauma
  • eating disorders
  • anxiety and depression
  • other mental health challenges 

Sessions are paced and respectful, guided by curiosity rather than judgement, with a focus on clarity, agency, and meaningful change over time.

Support for Young People 13yo+

​​​I work with adolescents and young adults navigating mental health challenges, identity development, relationships, and change.

My approach prioritises:
  • emotional safety and trust
  • developmentally appropriate support​
  • collaboration with families and schools where helpful​
  • coordination with other health professionals when needed

I have over 15 years experience working with adolescents in a variety of settings (including education, rites of passage facilitation, and adventure therapy).

Family Counselling, Byron Bay & Bangalow.

Family & Relational Support

Family counselling offers a space to slow things down, strengthen communication, and better understand relational patterns.

This may include support for:
  • family conflict or stress
  • changes in family structure or roles
  • parenting challenges
  • supporting a young person’s mental health

The focus is on shared understanding, connection, and practical ways forward.

(Family sessions are not always eligible for Medicare rebates - please get in touch to discuss).

Eating Disorder Specialist Support

I provide therapeutic support for adolescents and adults experiencing challenges in their relationships with food, eating, and bodies. 

This includes support with:
  • anorexia nervosa
  • bulimia nervosa
  • binge eating disorder
  • disordered eating and body image distress
  • food- and weight-related anxiety or control concerns

Where relevant, I can work alongside GPs, dietitians, or other professionals involved in your care to support safe and coordinated treatment.

Throughout your care, my focus stays on the person in front of me - not your diagnosis.​
