Starting therapy--or finding the right therapist--takes courage and can be daunting. If you've landed here feel free to take your time, get in touch, look around.
What our work together looks like.
My guiding quote for sessions goes like this: "Slow is fast." We slow down together, so that what is needed can be found, heard, addressed. Rather than analysing what is wrong or developing strategies, we get curious about what is happening inside you in this present moment. The patterns, the body's sensations, the parts of you that react before you even had a chance to think.
Using IFS Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Buddhist-informed presence, we work WITH your inner world rather than against it. The inner critic, the part who shuts you down, the one who is always bracing--we meet each of these with openness and curiosity rather than combat.
The body is central to this work together. Our bodies carry so much information and wisdom, and can be a doorway into working deeply and safely.
Your First Session
There's no pressure to arrive with everything figured out. Our first session is simply a beginning--getting to know the landscape of your inner world together. We might follow a pattern that keeps surfacing, a feeling in the body, or a reaction that puzzles you.
We go at your pace, following your choices and direction.
Investment
90-minute session--$240.
These longer sessions are for you if you're ready to go beneath the surface rather than just talk about it — unhurried, consistent work that builds something real over time. Each session follows what your system brings, with a proper close at the end so you leave feeling settled rather than mid-process.
2-hour session--$320.
For when you want to go deeper on something specific, or when you know there is slower pacing needed. A good option if you'd like a little more room from the start.
The Half-Day Retreat--$1100. A half-day of deep, supported work + 2 weeks Voxer messaging support + 60-minute closing session.
This time is set aside just for you, away from the clock, demands and distractions, the usual pace of a busy life. In a regular session, we're always aware of time. Here, that eases and lifts. People are often surprised afterwards that the time passed so quickly. Time has a different quality when you're being fully present with yourself in this way.
This is a chance to go at a different pace entirely. To get to know parts of yourself more fully, to understand what they need, and to provide that--from yourself, for yourself. The kind of shift that's hard to reach in one hour becomes possible when there's more spaciousness and less pressure.
What's included:
Pre-session intake. Before we meet, you share what you're bringing to the day, in writing or by voice-note. This means we begin with intention rather than warm-up/chatting and I arrive already holding a sense of what your system is hoping for.
3.5-hour half-day session. We take a break mid-way for movement and a stretch, spending our time focusing on whatever needs attention, following what your system leads us to.
2 weeks of Voxer support. After this kind of work, things usually keep moving! Parts continue to respond, unburden, adjust. You may have realisations on waking, in the shower, or at 3am. During this fortnight you can send me voice notes or messages whenever something surfaces, if things get challenging, or if you want to share an exciting breakthrough. It can make a real difference to your growth, knowing that support is there. I respond once daily, Tuesday-Friday, within 24 hours. This isn't crisis support, but rather about witnessing and encouraging.
60-minute closing session. At the end of the two weeks we meet to close the container properly by reviewing what has shifted, naming what still needs care, and where you want to go from here.
Sessions are held online via video call and are available Australia-wide and internationally.
