I am an existential & psychoanalytic oriented psychotherapist based in Melbourne. With a deep and enduring interest in ‘existence’, I am drawn to discourses that fundamentally concern what it is ‘to be’ and issues that lay therein. I am a member of the Lacan Circle of Australia including participation in the low cost clinic and clinical studies. In addition, I am a lecturer with the Cairnmillar Institute within the counselling and psychotherapy programs.
I work with individuals to bring speech to their suffering - to take account of and explore hitherto uncovered aspects of themselves. Through this process, we find relief from existential malaise, anxiety, and the multitude of symptoms that blanket our being-in-the-world with unnecessary weight. Ultimately creative, the process leads to the transformation of overdetermined issues into a spaciousness particular to each individual; facilitating the circumscribing of their particular desire in the service of living more freely.
What is psychoanalysis?
Psychoanalysis provides a process by which one may speak of how they find themselves unwell or in distress. By analysing individuals suffering, the unconscious conflicts that are the driving force of its maintenance are able to come to light. This process may include dreams and fantasy life whereby one may come to understand their particular unconscious processes and how they function in relation to desire. Such facilitation leads to the relief of repressed material and a future marked with creativity and change.
