Clinical Psychology for Adults
Supporting Adults Experiencing Stress, Anxiety and Life Challenges
At Cohesion Clinical Psychology, I specialise in individual counselling for adults who are overwhelmed, stressed and not satisfied with the life they are currently living. I can help if you lack confidence, worry what others think and are hard on yourself. Perhaps you feel shame or guilt for not having everything in your life under control. Privately, you may be struggling with thoughts of self-doubt and fears about what the future holds. You desperately want to feel better or regain the life you once had but you don’t know where to start.
How Therapy May Help
I believe that everyone at some point in their lives faces challenges and struggles emotionally to a certain degree. In fact, almost half of the Australian adult population has or will experience a mental disorder at some point in their lifetime. Whether you are adjusting to a major life transition, a work-related injury, or losing a loved one, I want you to know that you are not alone in your struggles and most importantly, relief is possible. I specialise in helping individuals like you go from feeling overwhelmed and unsatisfied to feeling in control of your emotions and confidently able to handle life’s many stressors.
I understand that you might be scared or reluctant to ask for help, particularly if you (or someone else) tells you that you “shouldn’t” feel, think or act in a certain way. I know that deep down you want to feel better and not be a burden to anyone.
But I believe that individuals do better when they stick together (rather than suffer in silence). Feeling connected to others and having healthy relationships is protective. That’s why I strive for strong cohesion in every aspect of my work, and I value the role of compassion and connection in the therapeutic relationship.
I aim to help you tell your story, empower you to take valued action and to make a difference to your life and to those you care about.
Areas of Support
Many of the clients I successfully treat describe a variety of symptoms that affect their overall wellbeing and happiness. I can help you if you are struggling with:
Adjustment to life transitions (e.g., new parenthood, perimenopause, and menopause)
Anxiety or worry
Difficulty sleeping
Feeling low, lethargic or exhausted
Difficulties in your relationship with your partner and/or kids
Distressing memories of past events (e.g., child abuse/trauma)
Grief/loss
A lack of motivation
Pain that is affecting your mood and/or behaviour
Strong urges to drink, gamble or eat when you feel sad or angry
Therapeutic Approaches
Emotional Management and Life Satisfaction
I integrate two main therapeutic techniques—EMDR and Schema Therapy—to help you work through both past and present challenges. EMDR is highly effective in resolving trauma, managing anxiety, and even addressing concerns like emotional eating by reprocessing distressing memories and emotional triggers.
Empowerment and Acceptance
With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide you in living life in alignment with your personal values rather than external pressures. ACT also builds resilience by helping you tolerate the natural discomfort that comes with life’s challenges, empowering you to make meaningful, values-driven choices.
Compassion and Resilience
Together, these approaches provide a practical, flexible path for you to regain control, foster self-acceptance, and feel more freedom in your day-to-day life.
