Psychological Therapy - Adults
There are many reasons people come to therapy. You may know exactly what you want support with, or you may find it harder to put into words - you simply know that something feels off, or that you’d like things to be different.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin, that’s what therapy is for. Therapy is available in person (Prospect, Adelaide SA) or via Telehealth.
Explore some of the areas I can support you with below.
-
Maybe your mind rarely feels quiet. You replay conversations, think several steps ahead, worry about making the wrong decision, or find yourself preparing for things that may never happen. You might know your worries are unlikely and still struggle to switch them off.
Therapy can help you understand what keeps anxiety going, recognised the patterns you’ve developed to cope with it, and learn healthier ways of responding to anxious thoughts and feelings.
• Worry • Overthinking • Social Anxiety • Perfectionism • Avoidance • Reassurance- seeking.
-
Depression doesn’t always look like just feeling sad. You might feel flat or disconnected, have little to no motivation, stop enjoying things you used to care about, withdraw from people, or feel as though everything takes more effort than it should.
Therapy can help us understand what may be contributing to how you’re feeling and gradually work towards reconnecting with the parts of life that matter to you, so you can feel more like you again.
• Low mood • Depression • Loss of motivation • Feeling numb/disconnected • Self-criticism • Hopelessness • Withdrawal
-
Perhaps you keep finding yourself in similar relationship patterns, become consumed about how someone feels about you, struggle to trust, find it difficult to let go, or put your own needs aside to keep a relationship.
Therapy can help you understand the patterns you bring into relationships, where they may have developed, and how your attachment experiences can influence the way you connect with others today.
• Attachment • Relationship patterns • Fear of rejection/abandonment • People-Pleasing • Boundaries • Trust • Communication • Relationship anxiety
-
Sometimes a painful experience is over, but its impact isn’t. You might notice certain situations trigger a much stronger response than you expect, struggle with memories or reminders, feel constantly alert, or recognise that past experiences continue to influence how you see yourself, others, and the world.
Therapy can provide a space to understand. and process these experiences and the ways they may still be affecting you, at a pace that you’re comfortable with.
• Trauma • PTSD • Childhood experiences • Emotional triggers • Difficult relationships • Safety & Trust • Trauma -related beliefs
-
You know your mind isn’t a kind place to be. Maybe you’re highly self-critical, spiral after making a human mistake, compare yourself to others, feel you need to achieve to be ‘good enough’, or rely heavily on reassurance and approval.
Therapy can help uncover the beliefs underneath these patterns, understand where they came from, and work towards developing a more balanced and secure sense of yourself.
• Low self-esteem • Self- criticism • Not feeling ‘good enough’ • Comparison • Perfectionism • Shame • People-pleasing • Confidence
-
Maybe emotions seem to go from 0 to 100 real quick, stay with you long after something has happened, or feel so uncomfortable that you do almost anything to escape them. Or maybe the opposite happens - you shut down, disconnect or struggle to know what you’re feeling at all.
Therapy can help you understand your emotional responses, recognise what tends to trigger them, and build skills for responding to difficult emotions in ways that work better for you.
• Emotional overwhelm • Anger • Emotional regulation • Feeling numb • Distress tolerance • Coping • Understanding emotions
-
ADHD can show up in everyday life in ways that. gofar beyond difficult concentrating. You might procrastinate until the pressure becomes unbearable, struggle to start seemingly simple tasks, lose track of things, feel chronically disorganised or struggle to regulate your emotions.
Therapy can help you better understand your individual patterns, reduce the cycle of frustration. and self-criticism, and develop strategies that work with the way your brain functions.
• ADHD • Procrastination • Motivation • Organisation • Attention • Executive Functioning • Emotional regulation • Self understanding/compassion

Some stages of life can leave you feeling caught between where you’ve been and where you’re supposed to be going. Finishing university, starting your career, changing jobs, moving out, navigating new relationships, or taking on more independence can bring excitement alongside uncertainty, pressure and self-doubt.
Therapy can provide a space to work through these changes, understand what matters to you, and navigate decisions and expectations without feeling like you should have everything figured out.
• Finishing Uni •Starting your career • Career uncertainty • Moving Out • Increasing independence • Identity • Decision-Making • Relationships • Life direction
