Adolescent Therapy (Teen Support)
Support for anxiety, low mood, emotional regulation, identity, and confidence in adolescence.

Adolescence can be emotionally demanding—shaped by school pressure, changing friendships, family dynamics, and identity development. I provide a warm, youth-friendly space where young people can slow down, feel understood, and build practical skills to navigate everyday challenges.

My approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based, with somatic practices integrated where helpful. Together, we focus on developing emotional insight, coping strategies, and confidence.

Support may include:

• Anxiety and stress (including social anxiety)

• Low mood and depressive symptoms

• Emotional regulation, anger, and overwhelm

• Confidence, identity, perfectionism, and self-esteem

• Friendships, peer relationships, and social stress

• Family dynamics, communication, and conflict

• Building resilience and self-trust

Where appropriate, a one-off parent session can be offered to strengthen understanding, improve communication, and support progress at home.

Appointments
Sessions are available in person on the Sunshine Coast, via telehealth, and as walk-and-talk therapy where clinically appropriate.

Support for exploring identity, values, purpose, and living a more aligned, meaningful life.

Not everyone comes to therapy because something is “wrong.” Many people seek support when life feels off-track, uncertain, or disconnected—when they want deeper meaning, clearer direction, or a stronger sense of alignment with who they are and how they want to live.

This work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Positive Psychology, supporting you to clarify what matters most, strengthen psychological flexibility, and take practical steps toward a life that feels more authentic, intentional, and fulfilling.

Support may include:

• Exploring identity, life direction, and personal meaning

• Clarifying values and using them to guide decisions and behaviour

• Strengths discovery and strengths-based goal setting

• Increasing psychological flexibility using ACT-based practices

• Building motivation, self-compassion, and sustainable habits

• Positive Psychology approaches (including PERMA-informed practices)

Sometimes, even when you understand your experiences, they can still feel emotionally stuck, showing up as anxiety, overwhelm, or patterns that don't seem to shift.

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps your brain process and integrate difficult experiences, so they no longer carry the same intensity or impact in day-to-day life. It is particularly effective where symptoms are linked to unprocessed or unresolved memories.

A Different Way of Working

EMDR therapy works differently from traditional talk therapy. Rather than needing to talk through every detail, it supports your brain's natural ability to process distressing experiences using gentle, guided eye movements or tapping. Over time, what once felt overwhelming or triggering can begin to feel more settled and manageable.

EMDR is a structured and carefully paced approach. We begin with an initial assessment to understand your needs and explore whether EMDR therapy is the right fit for you, followed by preparation focused on safety, grounding, and stability before any deeper processing begins. You don't need to force anything. Your role is simply to notice what arises, while your brain does the work of processing.

It may be helpful if you're experiencing:

• Ongoing effects of past or traumatic experiences

• Anxiety, panic, or persistent overwhelm

• Triggers or strong emotional reactions

• Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or distressing dreams

• Feeling stuck in patterns despite insight

• Low self-worth, shame, or negative beliefs about yourself

• Difficulty letting go of certain memories or emotional experiences

EMDR therapy is available on the Sunshine Coast (in-person) and via telehealth across Australia.
