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.

“The paradox of trauma is that it has both the power to destroy and the power to transform.”
— Peter Levine, Somatic Experiencing
