Evidence-based support for adults in the Illawarra

You might be struggling with behaviours you can’t seem to control or feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety or low mood.

Together, we can understand what’s driving these patterns and build practical, lasting ways forward.

Our Approach

Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. We create a safe space for reflection and curiosity, helping you explore what’s behind challenges in your life and discover strategies that really work for you. Together, we focus on building insight, skills, and lasting changes that support a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Our Services

GAMBLING AND BEHAVIOUR ADDICTIONS
$0.00

If you feel like a behaviour is becoming difficult to control or is beginning to impact your wellbeing, relationships, work, or finances, support is available.

With over 15 years of specialist experience supporting people affected by gambling harm, we provide treatment for a wide range of behavioural addictions and compulsive behaviours.

LOW MOOD AND DEPRESSION
$0.00

Feeling flat, emotionally drained, unmotivated, or disconnected from life can make even simple tasks feel difficult.

Therapy provides a supportive space to explore what may be contributing to these experiences while helping you build resilience, reconnect with your values, and improve overall wellbeing.

ANXIETY, STRESS AND BURNOUT
$0.00

Anxiety can show up in many different ways — constant worry, overthinking, difficulty relaxing, sleep problems, or feeling permanently “on edge.”

Therapy can help you better understand your anxiety, develop practical coping strategies, improve emotion regulation, and feel more confident managing everyday challenges.

SUPERVISION FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS AND COUNSELLORS
$0.00

We provide professional supervision in a supportive, reflective, and collaborative environment. With more than 10 years of experience supervising intern, provisional psychologists, psychologists and counsellors.

Supervision focuses on developing confidence, strengthening clinical skills, supporting ethical practice, and promoting practitioner wellbeing.

I am a Registered Psychologist and Board-Approved Supervisor with more than 20 years of experience supporting adults through gambling-related harm, anxiety, depression, behaviour change for health and wellbeing, and other significant life challenges.

I believe that therapy can create space for reflection, self-discovery, and growth. By working together to better understand patterns, challenges, and strengths, you can take meaningful steps towards living a life that feels more aligned with what matters most to you.

I hold a Master of Professional Psychology from the University of Wollongong and spent 15 years working at the Sydney University Gambling Treatment and Research Clinic.
