Healing from Narcissistic Parenting and Childhood Trauma
If you were raised by a narcissistic, emotionally immature, critical or self-absorbed mother, you may still be carrying the effects today.
You might struggle with chronic self-doubt, people-pleasing, shame, difficulty setting boundaries, anxiety, perfectionism, or a persistent sense that your own needs are less important than everyone else's.
Psychotherapy can help you understand how these early experiences shaped your relationships, identity and emotional life. Through a compassionate, attachment-based approach, we can work together to develop greater self-trust, emotional security and self-compassion.
I offer online psychotherapy for women throughout Australia who are seeking recovery from narcissistic parenting, complex trauma, parentification and attachment wounds.

ABOUT ME
I am a clinical social worker and psychotherapist with a particular interest in attachment trauma, shame, narcissistic family systems and the long-term effects of emotionally neglectful or narcissistic parenting.
Before retraining as a therapist, I spent many years working professionally as an artist, educator and Head of Painting and Drawing at the South Australian School of Art. My background in both psychotherapy and the visual arts informs the way I work, bringing curiosity, creativity and depth to the therapeutic process.
My approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed and relational. I aim to create a warm, thoughtful and trusting therapeutic relationship where difficult experiences can be explored safely and at your own pace.
I work primarily with adult women seeking recovery from narcissistic parenting, complex trauma, chronic shame, people-pleasing patterns and relationship difficulties.

I provide psychotherapy and counselling via secure Zoom sessions to clients throughout Australia.
Many clients find online therapy offers greater flexibility, privacy and convenience, while still allowing for a warm and meaningful therapeutic relationship to develop.
