A Deep Dive Into What’s Really Going On.

Working with me is not about sitting in a room talking about the same problem week after week. It is a deep dive into what is really going on underneath the surface. People are often surprised by how different they feel after only one session because we often uncover something that has been sitting in […]

Beyond Logic: Why Modern Psychotherapy Creates Lasting Change 

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I know exactly why I do this, so why can’t I stop?” It can be incredibly frustrating. You understand your patterns, you’ve connected the dots between your past and your present, and logically you know what needs to change. Yet you still find yourself reacting the same way, repeating unhealthy […]

The Hidden Family Dynamics Affecting Your Relationship 

Have you ever stopped to wonder why the same issues keep appearing in your relationships? Whether you’ve been together for six months or thirty years, or you’ve found yourself repeating the same relationship over and over with different people, there is usually something much deeper at play than the problem itself.

The Overpathologising of Women

Somewhere along the way, we’ve convinced women that if they’re struggling, they’ve somehow failed. Failed to cope. Failed to regulate their emotions. Failed to heal. Failed to be resilient. And if they can’t, then they must need repairing. As a psychotherapist, I believe we’ve spent decades overpathologising women. In doing so, we’ve created one of […]

What a 90-Year-Old Door Handle Taught Me About People 

Well it’s hard to believe we are half way through 2026. How is your year been for you? What’s shifted for the better, what needs more work and in what area of your life? I’ve always had a passion for restoring old things. There’s something deeply satisfying about bringing something back to its former glory […]

The Life We Think We Want

Most of us spend our lives chasing the life we think we want. We are taught what success should look like. The right job. The right relationship. The right house. The right achievements. We are given a picture of happiness long before we are old enough to question whether it is actually ours. The strange […]

Your Shadow Doesn’t Need to Be Eliminated. It Needs to Be Understood. 

One of the biggest misunderstandings in healing is that we need to get rid of the darker parts of ourselves. The jealousy. The rage. The desire. The control. The resentment. The fantasies we don’t say out loud. Most people try to push these parts down into the subconscious because they feel unacceptable, too much, or […]

The Invisible Thread: Reflections on Family, Bloodline and Belonging

Last week, I travelled to Brisbane for my Aunty’s funeral. She was 88 years old and had shared 70 years of marriage with my Uncle. While funerals are often associated with loss, what I experienced was something much deeper -a powerful reminder of family, bloodline, and belonging.

Look How Far You Have Come

Hard to believe we are already smack bang in May 2026. And today, on Friday – the day of Venus, the planet of love -I have found myself reflecting deeply on healing, growth and who we are becoming through the experiences life places before us.
