About me

My practice
I am an existentially orientated psychotherapist based in Fitzroy North, Melbourne. With a deep interest in philosophy, and in particular how it applies to everyday living, I am drawn to, and engaged with existential literature and its’ application to therapy as well as areas of eastern thought and religion, specifically that of Zen Buddhism.

I am particularly interested in working with artists and creators of all types. I have been heavily involved in this world through a number of endeavours in my life, by the way of alternative music and photography.

I am a registered member with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia and hold a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. My previous studies include Biomedical Science, specifically Neuroscience, as well as Psychology. Passionate about the development of the psycho-therapeutic industry, I am also a part-time academic in the higher education sector.
