Alfred Adler, psychotherapist
I live, learn, play and work on the beautiful south coast of NSW and acknowledge the Yuin/Jerrinja owners of these unceded lands.
A professional therapist, supervisor, coach and academic educator, I've worked with community services, non-profit agencies, higher education institutions and social enterprises in Australia and the UK, providing trauma informed services in diverse contexts including community health, domestic violence, refugee settlement, homelessness, disability advocacy, palliative care, humanitarian development and disaster relief.
You are the expert in your life!
I practice reflexively and relationally with cultural humility, humour and a beginner’s mind. My approach is founded in humanistic therapeutic practices and trauma informed principles. Guided by contemporary neuroscientific research, I will collaborate with you in compassionate reflective practice.
As a values-led therapist supervisor coach, I advocate to address the broader systemic and social issues that impact wellbeing across the lifespan, while adhering to respectful and responsive work practices that promote health and vitality.
My people are from England and I am a "white body" (Menakem, 2021) raised with cisgender (she/her) and heterosexual privilege.
A qualified, experienced and accredited therapist supervisor, I attend regular training and supervision. I also teach, supervise and learn from postgraduate counselling and psychotherapy students.
I embrace and learn from the innate wisdom of Indigenous Knowledge and healing practices.
I acknowledge the Yuin, Jerringja and Wangal people, traditional owners of the unceded lands on which I live, study and work. I value the traditional knowledge and healing practices of all cultures. Walking on Country
