When Early Emotional experiences Still Shape Your Life

Based in North Shore, Sydney

You may appear capable and independent on the outside, yet feel a persistent sense of emptiness, disconnection, or difficulty sustaining close relationships.

These patterns often have roots in early emotional environments where feelings were overlooked, minimised, or left unspoken.

Many adults who grew up in emotionally neglectful or subtly invalidating environments learned to cope by becoming self-reliant, high-functioning, or emotionally contained.

Yet over time, this can lead to quiet loneliness, confusion in relationships, or a sense of not fully knowing oneself.

My work is long-term, relational and psychodynamic in orientation.

Rather than offering quick solutions, we pay attention to emotional experience as it unfolds in the therapy relationship. Through a steady and attuned presence, deeper patterns can gradually be understood and integrated.

Meaningful change takes time — and it happens through being seen, understood, and accompanied.
