This therapy is something a little bit different.

My approach is not always just talking, although there is a lot of talking that happens.

We also go deeper with exploring your feelings and beliefs (which might not not yet have words), using chatting, visualization, soma (body-based), movement, art & drawing, roleplay, and dreamwork.

My work is about being curious and aware; companioning and cheering for you as you go deeper into exploring your self, and all the mysterious, buried, marginalised and forgotten aspects.

What is process oriented psychology?

Process oriented psychology (aka Processwork or POP) embraces what is, instead of thinking that something else should be happening. Of course, it can be hard to trust what is happening, especially if it contributes to our suffering or goes against our plans. But in Process Work we find that beauty, richness, and meaning (as well as solutions, inspiration, and creativity) can come out of unfolding what is. This idea has its roots in the ancient Chinese concept of the Tao, as well as the teachings of C.G. Jung.

Processwork, developed by Dr. Arnold Mindell, is a rich and varied way of perceiving the world, people, and groups.  It is an awareness practice that helps us to notice and follow what is happening.

I am also training in somatic eco therapy, which offers an invitation to the practice of somatic focusing in nature. It provides a deeply beautiful way to attune to the body's innate wisdom, forming an intimate connection to the deep, pre-verbal, embodied sentience and nature. I acknowledge both Somatic Inquiry and Ecotherapy flow borrow much from the wisdom traditions of First Nations.

In sessions, you bring a challenge, conflict, or curiosity, and I help you explore it to gain deeper awareness, which may or may not lead to specific changes or actions, depending on the issue.

I don’t work with active substance use or eating behaviours that pose immediate life risks, acute suicidality, or life-threatening crises. If you're unsure, reach out for a quick chat.

The details for working together one-to-one for the above context.

• You decide how often you want to do sessions – you can make a regular, recurring time, or book on a session-to-session basis.

• Sessions are in mutually agreed on places in nature in Shepparton/Mooroopna area, or online via Zoom.

• I have a really firm 24hr cancellation policy (full fees are payable if you cancel or reschedule a session with less than 24 hours notice or if you just don’t show up).

Here are our options for connecting.
