Grounded in a background in Psychological Science and a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy, I provide a grounded, relational space to help you find your footing again. My practice is built on a deep commitment to safety and a fundamental belief in personal sovereignty, meaning that in this space, you are always in control of your story. Moving Beyond the Performance I work with adults, corporate professionals, athletes, and teens who are thoroughly exhausted from constantly performing, masking, or trying to fit into environments that do not align with their unique way of thinking. Therapy here is not another role you have to get right. It is an authentic partnership where we move at your rhythm to build genuine, internal safety. https://www.stresstherapyaustralia.com.au/instagram-landing-page daily 0.75 2025-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635187a9fb2f331b654aadbe/1666287552008-VG2UF01BMHNN7TZJO98K/AdobeStock_176762343.jpeg Instagram Landing Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.stresstherapyaustralia.com.au/404-page daily 0.75 2025-07-04 https://www.stresstherapyaustralia.com.au/vicarious-trauma daily 0.75 2025-07-04 https://www.stresstherapyaustralia.com.au/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2025-07-04 https://www.stresstherapyaustralia.com.au/home daily 1.0 2026-06-03 https://www.stresstherapyaustralia.com.au/terms-conditions daily 0.75 2025-07-04 https://www.stresstherapyaustralia.com.au/individual daily 0.75 2025-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635187a9fb2f331b654aadbe/1713659057547-4PYMIFHWEKMA5AU6V6Y0/image-asset.jpeg Individual - In Person and Online If attending an in-person session isn't possible for you, we offer Telehealth as a convenient alternative.

In a world of constant social and academic noise, it can be difficult for a young person to hear their own voice. I provide a steady, grounded space where teens can step away from the need to perform and begin to explore who they are becoming. Together, we work to settle the external pressure so they can finally find and trust their own rhythm.
