If you’re a Course in Miracles student and finding it hard to navigate a challenging issue or situation in your life, getting help from a professional therapist who also understands your spiritual path, might be the additional support you need. Together we can help you process, and move through, your difficulties as quickly and painlessly as possible, while also deepening your understanding and application of forgiveness.
Learn How To Navigate Your Struggles
Like many practitioners in the helping professions, it was my personal life struggles that piqued my interest in becoming a professional psychotherapist and counsellor. My ‘dark night of the soul’ compelled me to find another way, a better way, as you may be seeking yourself right now.
Whether you feel afraid, overwhelmed, depressed, stressed, anxious, powerless, hopeless, confused or stuck in turmoil, there is a way out. While A Course in Miracles is a powerfully therapeutic spiritual teaching, traditional therapy can also play a pivotal role in helping us manage and bounce back from challenging life circumstances.
A core teaching central to both A Course in Miracles and many formal schools of therapy is that you are not alone. Though it may not feel like it, you’re doing the best you can, and many others are struggling in silence too. It doesn’t have to be this way. Time is precious. Let’s make the most of it, even if things are hard right now
Whether your own path has led you down a dark road that on the surface looks like mine did- coloured by your own or loved ones’ eating disorders, addictions, grief and loss, abuse, disability, trauma, or relationship difficulties- the struggle is universal, no matter what form it takes.
Foundational Belifs Underpinning Therapy
We are all in this together. I believe that well-being, happiness, ease, peace of mind, and inner freedom is always possible. Hope is always warranted. Help is always at hand.
Let’s speed up the journey, from powerless to empowered, frightened to fearless, anxious to serene, angry to loving, miserable to joyful, imprisoned to free. You’re bound to get there anyway, so why not get there sooner?
I believe that you have everything you need to help you get through whatever you’re going through right now. I also believe that we all need help to remember and reconnect to that deep inner wisdom ever present within us- especially when things get tough.
I know that you can feel better, and that things can become better for you. You matter. Your life matters. I offer you a safe, supportive hand to walk with, free of judgement. I offer complete confidentiality, compassion, kindness, integrity, and respect.
Formal Qualifications
And the important, nitty gritty details?
I’m fully qualified, accredited, experienced, and insured. So you can trust and dive into the process that you’re ready to unfold, and heal the wounds that you’re ready to extract the good from.
I have spent 7 years in higher education and been in private practice for 6 years. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology, a postgraduate in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy, and real-world experience helping people from all walks of life in acute crisis through Australia’s free suicide-prevention hotline, Lifeline.
My professional training has encompassed several modalities, which allows me to work holistically and tailor my approach to what resonates with, and works for you. These primarily include Process Oriented Psychology (also known as Process Work), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches.
For peace of mind, I’m also fully insured and accredited with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) – the peak national membership association for Psychotherapists and Counselling professionals. This binds me to continuous professional development, stringent ethical standards, ongoing clinical supervision, and ensures that my training has been rigorous.
Enough said?
