You can say the thing you haven’t said out loud.
Clinical psychology for women — anxiety and perfectionism, pregnancy and motherhood, PMDD, and trauma. Online, Australia-wide.
People come to me to say things that are hard to say out loud:
That the worrying hasn't stopped in years, and you've started to wonder whether this is just who you are.
That you love your baby and you also want your old life back.
That there's a thought about your child so frightening you've never repeated it to anyone.
That for two weeks of every month you don't like who you become.
That something happened a long time ago and it’s still got a hold on you.
That your body stopped being reliable and nobody has been able to tell you why.
Whichever of those is yours — or if it's something that isn't on the list — you won't be the first person to say it to me. After 14 years as a therapist, very little surprises me, and nothing you tell me will change how I look at you. I’m here to sit with you in your pain and together we will uncover your path to healing.
Areas of focus
-
Anxiety, overfunctioning and perfectionism
For women whose minds don't stop. We'll work out what the worrying or over-functioning is protecting you from, and then make it less necessary.
-
Pregnancy, birth and becoming a mother
Preparing for it, recovering from it, and working out who you are on the other side.
-
PMDD and premenstrual mood
When two weeks of every month don't belong to you, and you've been told ‘it's normal’.
-
EMDR and trauma
A single terrible day, a hundred smaller ones, or what you learned about love before you had words for it.
