  Profile

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with a strong foundation in psychoanalysis, supported by over 20 years of dedicated study in this field. I hold a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and a Graduate Certificate in Clinical Psychology with a major in Psychoanalysis, both completed overseas. I am currently undertaking a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy to further deepen and expand my clinical expertise.

I offer tailored individual therapy for both teenagers and adults. My sessions address a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Self-esteem and confidence
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Identity development
  • Stress management
  • Interpersonal relationships
  • Trauma recovery
  • The impact of past experiences on present life

My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychoanalytic principles while also focusing on practical outcomes. I aim to foster self-awareness, personal growth, and resilience, empowering clients to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and strength. Central to my practice is the belief in a collaborative, respectful partnership between therapist and client, where open and unbiased communication creates a safe space for self-expression and exploration.

I am deeply committed to confidentiality and uphold the highest ethical standards in every interaction. I value and respect each client’s unique reasons for seeking therapy, and my goal is to support them on their journey toward emotional wellbeing, greater self-understanding, and lasting personal growth.
