"Every person born into the world represents something new, something that never existed before, something original and unique…. If there had been someone like her in the world, there would have been no need for her to be born." —Martin Buber as quoted in Narrative Means for Sober Ends, by Jon Diamond, p.78
Sessions are available in English, German & Polish languages.
All sessions are $AUD 150 / 60 min

The Moving Beyond Pain approach combines modern neuroscience with compassionate, trauma-informed care to help you understand how the mind and body work together in pain.
Rather than blaming the mind, it focuses on retraining the brain and nervous system. By helping the body feel safe and shifting how the brain interprets signals, pain and symptoms can reduce naturally from the inside out.
Gestalt therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on your present experience, helping build self-awareness so you can overcome challenges and make meaningful choices.
It places strong importance on the therapeutic relationship, using it as a powerful catalyst for change and growth.
Depth Enquiry™ is a transformative therapeutic approach that integrates implicit memories, releases stuck patterns, and helps resolve trauma, anxiety, phobias, and deep-seated shame.
Developed by Amanda Gruhn through her work with PTSD and trauma-related symptoms, it gently unblocks resistant trauma and negative beliefs within a supportive, fluid healing process.
Nature Based Therapy, or ecotherapy, engages the natural world as an active partner in healing, using practices like mindful walking and stillness to foster presence, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.
Nature becomes a co-therapist—offering insight, grounding, and connection. This embodied approach can support anxiety, grief, trauma, and disconnection in ways that often feel more intuitive than traditional talk therapy.
I provide a child-centred therapeutic approach that helps children express and integrate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through creative play and sensory activities.
Grounded in Gestalt principles, it focuses on present-moment awareness, emotional expression, and strengthening the child’s sense of self within a safe, supportive relationship.
Aware Parenting, developed by Dr. Aletha Solter, is a respectful, attachment-based approach grounded in empathy and emotional understanding.
It sees behavior as communication and encourages compassionate responses rather than punishment or rewards. By supporting children’s emotional expression while setting loving, clear boundaries, it fosters secure attachment, cooperation, and resilience.
