I work in Killara, Sydney as a psychotherapist, psychoanalyst and counsellor with men, women and younger people facing the full range of life issues and challenges. I am accredited as a mental health counsellor with Medicare and with other government schemes. There are differences between psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and counselling treatments which I am happy to talk about with you during an initial consultation.

In my practice I consult with people experiencing all sorts of difficulties including work and career issues, relationship issues, family problems, trauma following domestic violence or sexual abuse, grief and loss, (sudden traumatic loss and missing persons) eating disorders, low self-esteem, chronic illness issues, and depression/ anxiety which of course can manifest in many ways.

Some people may come to therapy to work on major life transitions that may or may not involve some kind of loss – and others may come to deal with something unspecific, just a vague and persistent sense that despite outward signs of success – something is not right. Regularly I speak with people who say they aren’t exactly sure why they have sought a consultation.

Training aside, research shows time and time again that it is the quality of the relationship between a therapist and a motivated client that promotes healing. Therefore, the most important thing about a therapist is their capacity to form a relationship with you – and be able to understand something of the difficulties you experience. This is usually helped by qualities of compassion, open mindedness, authenticity and competency! So if you have had a few sessions here and there with various different psychologists over the years, but you have not found lasting relief, then you might want to consider having a consultation with someone like me, experienced in psycho-dynamic treatments that are steeped in the relational aspect of the work.

I encourage you to contact me or indeed any other therapist before making an appointment, and feel free to ask for a brief chat with us about how we think we might be able to help you. I also offer supervision to other practitioners who are seeking debrief, support supervision or just a bit of help to put the juice back into their work!

To find out more or to make an appointment, please call me on 0406 967 428.

Good luck on your journey, and thanks for dropping by this page.
