Treatment Approach
My therapy approach combines Strategic Psychotherapy, Clinical Hypnosis, and the Gordian Pillars model to create meaningful, targeted change. Strategic Psychotherapy is a brief, solution-focused approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns that are driving emotional distress or limiting behaviour. It is proactive and tailored to the individual—focusing not just on “why” a problem exists, but “how” it’s maintained and how to resolve it.
Sessions are guided by the Gordian Pillars, a model that identifies five core thinking patterns (such as control, globilisation, or intolerance for ambiguity) that can keep people stuck in cycles of anxiety, low self-worth, or emotional reactivity.
The aim is to knock these pillars over!
Clients then shift their responses and regain a sense of confidence and flexibility.
Clinical Hypnosis is used to reinforce change at a deeper, unconscious level and is used as a vehicle.
It helps the mind rehearse new, healthier patterns, while also reducing stress and increasing emotional regulation. This integrated approach is ideal for people who feel like they intellectually understand their issues but haven’t yet found a way to shift them in daily life.
Hi, I’m a Senior Accredited Social Worker, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Strategic Psychotherapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's most complex challenges. I’ve worked extensively in hospital, palliative care, and with clients from the NDSI—supporting people navigating grief, trauma, chronic illness, cancer, and major life transitions.
I combine evidence-based social work practice with clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy, offering a deeply compassionate yet practical approach to therapy.
My work is online and makes for a perfectly adaptable method of delivering mental health support.
I see people from all over Australia.
All you will need is good internet connection and a comfortable chair.
