Cairns Psychotherapy, Counselling, EMDR & Hypnotherapy

Integrative, trauma-informed psychotherapy for those seeking lasting, embodied change — in Cairns, Kuranda and online.

My Approach

Lasting change happens when insight meets nervous system repair.

As a clinical counsellor, my approach is grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy and trauma-informed care, delivered with collaboration, clarity, and respect for each person’s pace and lived experience.

I integrate research-supported methods with somatic and nervous system–informed approaches, recognising that meaningful change occurs not only through insight, but through embodied regulation and adaptive processing.

Providing a safe, grounded space for healing

Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, you don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

I offer support for stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and deeper therapeutic work when needed.

My role is to provide a steady, respectful space where we can move at a pace that feels manageable and safe.

Sessions take place in a calm, private therapy setting designed to support nervous system regulation, comfort and focused therapeutic work.

In-person sessions are held within the Shine Strong Psychology practice in central Cairns, conveniently located near Cairns Central Shopping Centre. The practice environment reflects a shared commitment to trauma-informed, ethical and respectful care.

For those who prefer the flexibility or privacy of meeting online, telehealth sessions are available across Far North Queensland and beyond.

After-hours and Saturdays available by appointment.

 

“The paradox of trauma is that it has both the power to destroy and the power to transform.”
