You may find yourself reacting more strongly than the situation seems to call for. The same conflicts return. Small things begin to feel charged. You may feel misunderstood by others — or unclear, at times, even to yourself. These experiences are rarely meaningless. They may be signs that something beneath conscious awareness is trying to make itself known. This is where the work begins.
We begin by talking. You bring what is on your mind — I listen for what may be moving underneath it: the repetitions, defences, conflicts, fears, and desires shaping your present life. This work can happen through conversation and the therapeutic relationship. Sometimes clinical hypnotherapy might be a better way forward — approaching the same material through attention, imagery, bodily experience, and altered states of awareness.
To work with the depth and focus each client deserves,
I keep my psychotherapy caseload to 2 clients at any one time and take on 1 hypnotherapy client per month.
Online via Google Meet · Face-to-face by arrangement in Sydney (CBD).
If you're unsure which approach fits best, we can decide together during the intro call.
These are not isolated problems to fix, but patterns worth understanding.
Persistent tension, low mood, or difficulty regulating emotional states
Repeated conflicts, attachment patterns, and feeling misunderstood by others
Perfectionism, self-sabotage, and a harsh or relentless inner voice
Burnout, bereavement, and questions of meaning, direction, or who you are
Habits, sleep difficulties, stress, and physical symptoms with psychological roots
Images, dreams, bodily sensations, or experiences that feel significant but hard to name
My work is shaped by psychodynamic and depth-psychological traditions, including Freud, Jung, Klein, Bowlby, and Kohut. I am interested in the unconscious life of the person: the attachments, defences, losses, images, and repetitions that shape how we suffer and how we relate. I trained in both psychodynamic counselling and clinical hypnotherapy because I see them as complementary ways of working with unconscious material — through language, relationship, imagery, sensation, attention, and suggestion.
Writings on psychodynamic counselling, clinical hypnosis, dreams, symptoms, the unconscious, and the symbolic language of inner life. You’ll also find reflective exercises and guided practices for approaching this material with care.
