What I do is unique and quite different to traditional forms of counselling. I help you to get out of your head and into your heart so that you can find inner peace. My work treats causes not symptoms and it is very healing. Whatever your issue, I believe I can help; and if I don't you can have your money back!

Do you want to find inner peace and make lasting change in your life? Do you feel depressed, anxious, fatigued, de-motivated or even suicidal? Are you relying on food, alcohol, cigarettes, TV, overwork or anything else to help you cope with life? Would you like to have better relationships in your life? Are you having problems sleeping? Are you critical and self sabotaging? Do you feel that you wear a mask to hide your real self, believing that deep down at your very core you are ‘not good enough’ or ‘unlovable’? If any of this sounds like you, just know that help is just a phone call or email away. My work helps you to move from victimhood to being in full control of your life. It helps you to find answers to your own issues and in doing so, you find inner peace and self love. If you want something that truly works and changes your life for the better, then come and see me. I work on a feeling level and I get results.

I believe that what you feel you can heal, but what you resist will persist.

Emotional Healing

Overview
My work is simple and powerful. I help people to stop, become present to life and heal the emotions that arise in the process. What I do is quite different to conventional talk therapy which keeps you at the ego or mind level. You are not your thoughts. You are not your ego. This is your mask. You are much more than that. I direct you to move towards your problem and ‘open your Pandora’s Box’, rather than moving away from it with the use of anti-depressants or techniques that block feeling. To truly heal, you need to go underneath your stories to the suppressed feelings and sensations in your body. Releasing the associated energy helps you to access your real self and enables you to live in the NOW. I help you to find out the truth of who you really are. I don't provide band-aid solutions. I address the real issues.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?
This will all depend upon you. You may need one or you may need more. Be guided by your intuition.

How long is a session?
Each session is around 1 to 1 1/2 hours in duration. Your first session is always the longest and may go for 2 hours.

What is the Cost?
The cost for an individual session is $150. As I am not a Psychologist/Psychiatrist, treatment with me cannot be claimed under health insurance, however, I can provide a tax receipt for 'stress management training' and you can check with your Accountant if you are able to claim this in your tax return. I do accept Mastercard/Visa/AMEX.

Availability?
My working hours are strictly Monday-Thursday 9am-3pm and Friday 9am-5.30pm.

Why I'm Passionate About This Work

I think I was destined to do this work. My story is that I finished high school at 16, graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from university at 18, became a CPA at 21 and burned myself out at 25 being diagnosed with Glandular Fever and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I learned a lot about my health during this time. When I recovered, I started working as a motivational speaker, speaking about health and wellness. But in the 10 years I worked as a speaker, I fainted 5 times as I got up on stage. Deep down, I never felt good enough and I tried to suppress this feeling by buying love from everyone around me through my achievements. I never knew who I really was. I studied Commerce because that’s what my dad had studied. I choose Accounting in my Commerce degree because my dad said Accounting was too hard. I ended up in a job that I wasn’t suited for and it was all an attempt to buy love. Even when I worked with Channel 7’s Sunrise program, I fainted in the makeup room the second time I was on the show because I just didn’t feel good enough to be a regular presenter on the show. When I had children, I was no longer able to suppress my feeling of ‘not being good enough’. I could no longer do something or achieve something to distract myself. I needed to face it. Luckily I met a counsellor who enabled me to do this. I have been able to stop all my DOING and find my BEING. We are human BEINGS after all! This therapy had a profound positive impact on my life and I want others to benefit the way I have.
