My practice
I’m Estelle a Clinical Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience in varied and dynamic roles, offering trauma-informed psychotherapy for clients, as well as staff support, clinical supervision, and training.
I’m a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, a NeuroAffective Touch® Foundation Graduate, and a Systemic, Structural, and Family Constellations facilitator. I’m inspired by both contemporary science and ancient wisdom, and I work with the body’s innate intelligence to support the resolution and integration of shock, developmental trauma, and chronic stress, across personal and intergenerational dimensions.
My clinical roots are in dual diagnosis inpatient treatment, working at the intersection of complex trauma and substance use. This foundation continues to shape my integrative approach, which centres nervous system regulation, attachment repair, and embodied transformation.
I’m PACFA-accredited as a Clinical Supervisor, hold a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Sciences, and am trained in EMDR and the Flash Technique.
I currently serve as a training assistant for Somatic Experiencing® professional trainings in Australia and provide personal sessions at all levels and beginners consults toward SE™ student accreditation.
I’ve maintained a longstanding private practice and have worked extensively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and teams. I’ve also contracted with the Australian Defence Force, legal firms, and agencies in the family violence sector. My work has taken me from South Australia to Far North Queensland, the Gulf of Carpentaria and across Victoria.
Outside the clinic, I’m a passionate fermenter, traveller, animal lover, terrible golfer, herbal concoctor, and pushy rider. A devoted student of the Sun, I spend my time learning Scottish Gaelic, writing, weaving, singing, dancing, and immersing myself in water, art, music, ritual practice, and sacred geometry.
