About me

My practice
Member of Faculty - Masters in Trauma Informed Psychotherapy, School of Medicine, University of Sydney
Member of Coaching Panel - University of New South Wales

Counselling is a conversation where we explore the territory of your life. By exploring, with curiosity, it becomes clearer the areas of your life which need attention. With compassionate attention, so we learn better ways of moving through the world. I help you re-find your flow.

I bring a variety of counselling methods that I have studied over the course of the past 20 years. My primary method is called Communicative Musicality, a model I devised during my post-doctoral studies in the Psychology Department at the University of Edinburgh and which I have continued to write about and lecture on. At its heart, it is a model based around the wisdom of our nervous system which knows how to move with intuitive grace in thinking, feeling and acting. None of us want to suffer. But as we adapt to the difficulties we encounter in our life, so the rhythm and melody of our life can cease to flow as easily as it used to. Through the right sorts of conversations we can re-find our music.
