My approach utilises innovative and unique methods that aim to suit YOU. It's my goal to adapt the therapy to make each client feel as comfortable as possible, whether through walking sessions, group therapy, activities or art therapy.

Supervision for Therapists

I offer professional supervision for both start-ups and established counsellors and psychotherapist in employment, private practice, or reaching the end of their studies, ensuring you receive the guidance and support needed to excel in your professional journey.


Supervision sessions are available on a 1-1 or group therapy basis, typically online, with peers from all across Australia. The group therapy sessions are no more than 4-5 peers at one time and are offered once a week with varied times.


My approach encourages peers to feel the group is a place where vulnerability is fully supported. After all, it is the only place where our challenges and triggers can be shared. 'The bond that this creates within the groups is very powerful. It is especially important that group therapy mitigates the sense of isolation regularly felt by us in practice.


I prefer a general discussion across the group on the cases presented for guidance. We all learn so much from each other, reflecting our unique approach and training. I am by no means precious with the documents and fact sheets I have prepared over the years and am always happy to share to fellow therapists. From my ever growing library, I have many recommendations for further reading and referencing, along with many CPD recommendations.


With a focus on continuous improvement and professional growth, I am committed to supporting your success in the field of therapy.
