My Focus for Therapy
My focus for therapy is on the whole person, not just a set of issues.
Often our issues have their causes in past traumas. For example anxiety can be caused by past trauma, grief, work issues or relationship issues among others. Sometimes, CBT is the best therapy, sometimes EMDR, sometimes Hypnotherapy.
Location
My counselling rooms are located at 254 Bay Road, Sandringham, VIC 3191.

I use these therapies.
After an initial assessment and in discussion with you, we will agree the best way forward for you..
What’s right for one person isn’t necessarily the best for someone else.
Counselling
Counselling can help you resolve many of life problems, including anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief and loss, work and relationship issues.
It can help you make life decisions and navigate life changes.
EMDR
EMDR is recognised as effective for PTSD and childhood traumas.
EMDR also works with other issues such as phobias, unresolved grief and loss.
EMDR is not talking or exposure therapy. You don’t need to go into the detail of your trauma.
Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy can be effective on its own, as part of working with complex issues or complementing other therapies.
I provide hypnotherapy for anxiety, phobias, fear of public speaking, insomnia and much more.
