individual therapy

"it is never too late to be what you might have been"

George Elliot

Gestalt psychotherapy is a body-aware, present-moment approach to therapy that works with the whole person — mind, body, and nervous system. It is particularly effective for people navigating relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, and long-held patterns that haven't shifted with other approaches. Sessions are held in person in Thornbury, Melbourne.

what is gestalt psychotherapy?

At the heart of Gestalt therapy is awareness — of how you think, feel, and move through the world right now, in this moment. Rather than analysing the past from a distance, Gestalt asks: what are you experiencing right now? And what does that tell us?

It is a deeply relational approach. What happens between us in the room — the moments of connection, tension, recognition — becomes the material we work with.

how is this different from talk therapy?

Most people who find their way to me have already done therapy. They understand their patterns intellectually. And yet something still feels stuck.

Gestalt works differently. It goes into the body, the nervous system, the places that words alone don't reach. You don't need to retell your story. You need to be met in it — with presence, curiosity, and genuine care.

what do people come to you for?

Relationships are at the core of most of the work I do — whether that's a relationship breakdown, family dynamics, struggles in intimate partnerships, or the patterns that keep showing up across different relationships.

I also work with people navigating trauma, life transitions, and the quiet but persistent sense that something needs to shift.

what can i expect from working with you?

A space to be heard. Really heard.

Not advised. Not fixed. Just met — by someone who remembers the small details, who reflects back what you've said in a way that makes you feel genuinely understood.

I believe the capacity to heal lives within you. My role is not to fix you but to walk alongside you — with presence, curiosity, and complete non-judgement — while you find your own way back to yourself.
