Who I Work With
I work with adults and couples across Australia who are caught in relationship patterns that are painful, confusing or no longer working. You may be stuck in the same conflict, feeling shut down, recovering from a relationship ending, or exhausted by dating that keeps leading to the same place.
01
Couples caught in the same stuck cycle
The same fight in different clothes: one reaches, one pulls back, and you both end up feeling unheard. We work with the pattern underneath the conflict, not just the argument on the surface. This can include couples where one partner is more walled off or reluctant, relationship therapy for one when you're ready before your partner is, and navigating the strain of early parenthood, all areas of particular focus in my practice.
Relationship therapy for one: you can start on your own, when you are ready before your partner is.

Men who feel shut down, numb or distant
For men who find it challenging to name or express what they feel, go quiet under conflict, or retreat into withdrawal, distraction, or problem-solving instead. This is a learned survival pattern, not a character flaw, and it can change.

Individuals rebuilding after a relationship ends
For rebuilding a sense of self after a breakup: heartbreak, low self-worth, boundaries that faded, and the on-again off-again pull that's hard to step out of. A trauma bond can make leaving, no-contact, grieving and moving forward feel more difficult. The work is about understanding the pattern that led here, not just moving on.

Dating and Relationship Coaching
For dating that keeps landing in the same place: drawn to the wrong people despite the red flags, or so overwhelmed by getting it wrong that you can't move at all. Both can come from deciding out of an anxious or overwhelmed part of yourself rather than a grounded one. Sometimes trauma bonding or familiar intensity overrides your own signals, making it harder to leave a painful relationship or recognise what is not working.
