Online Trauma-informed Counselling & Psychotherapy
Supporting adults with rich inner worlds and early emotional wounds to heal, grow, and move towards meaningful, authentic change through trauma‑informed therapy and experiential dreamwork.
Offered online across Australia.
Are you experiencing....
Stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or self‑doubt?
Experiences like stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or self‑doubt often emerge during challenging periods. These patterns can be rooted in earlier experiences where you learned to minimise your needs or question your worth.
In our work together, we’ll explore where these responses began and support new ways of relating to yourself.
Vivid dreams or nightmares?
Recurring or vivid dreams, or nightmares often arise when deeper emotional layers you may have supressed from your waking life are surfacing for attention.
I can support you in exploring the emotional and symbolic qualities of your dreams, how they connect to your past and present, and what they may be inviting you to be more conscious of.
Impacts of early emotional or attachment wounds?
The lingering effects of childhood trauma or early attachment wounds often show up in relationship challenges or through protective strategies like shutting down, staying vigilant, disconnecting from your body, or holding emotions in.
In therapy, we’ll compassionately inquire into your experiences and support a process of living with more authenticity and presence.
Life transitions?
Life transitions such as loss, shifts in relationships, identity, health, or direction can trigger old patterns of coping and long‑standing protective strategies, sometimes showing up as overwhelm, anxiety, shutdown, or disorientation, which can also surface in your dreams. I offer support to explore your experiences so you are in an empowered position to navigate your circumstances with more awareness and presence.
Unhelpful coping patterns?
Patterns that are difficult to change, like overworking, people‑pleasing, avoidance, or comfort eating, often begin as adaptive strategies to numb, soothe, survive, or create a sense of control or peace when other support wasn’t available. In therapy, we can explore and honour the protective function of these patterns, and consider other possible alternatives.

Healing inner wounds with counselling & psychotherapy.
There are moments when trying to make sense of things on your own feels exhausting.
Therapy offers a space to pause, reconnect with yourself and understand the deeper layers shaping your emotions, patterns and relationships. For many people, this work supports the healing of inner wounds, helping them feel more present, more connected and more able to live in a way that feels true to who they are.
Awareness of your inner world
Therapy can help you slow down and notice your thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations with more awareness. Over time, this may support you in understanding why certain patterns feel so persistent and how early experiences may still be shaping your reactions. This can help you respond with more agency and feel more connected to the life you want.
Healing & integration
Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to explore the parts of you that carry old wounds, unmet needs or long standing emotional pain. Some people find that this work supports emotional healing, personal growth, and a more compassionate relationship with themselves and others.
Support through change
Periods of change can bring deeper emotional layers closer to the surface. Therapy offers a place to explore what is unfolding within you, helping you understand yourself more fully and move through transition with a clearer sense of what feels right for you.
Insight into dreams and inner experiences
Dreams, nightmares and symbolic inner experiences often express what is hard to access in everyday life. Therapy offers a space to explore these layers in a way that feels safe and meaningful, supporting you to understand what your inner world may be communicating.
