Connect with your soul-self through art-therapy & creative visualisation focused on a specific problem or project.

How can I help you?

  • Do you feel like you are not good enough?
  • Do you compare yourself and / or your body to others, tyrannise yourself and feel like you have to be perfect?
  • Do you self-sabotage or find yourself repeating the same unhealthy patterns (such as emotional eating) over and over again?
  • Do you feel anxious, angry, depressed, disconnected, lonely, sad, or overwhelmed?
  • Have you suffered deeply and need support from someone who knows what that feels like?
  • Do you come from a dysfunctional family and want help dealing with the impact of those relationships? 
  • Would you like to learn how your early childhood trauma and eating challenges can be the catalyst for transformational growth and healing?
  • Perhaps you are longing to live a more creative, soulful, purposeful and meaningful life?

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE THAT I AM THE RIGHT Trauma Therapist FOR YOU?

Choosing a trauma & emotional eating counsellor, coach or psychotherapist is a big deal. It might be the first time you have ever talked about what’s been bothering you. 

Evidence says that it’s not the modality of therapy that works, it’s the relationship between the client and the therapist. We will start off by having a getting to know you session where I encourage you to see if I am the right therapist for you.

I have sat in the client’s chair and journeyed my own individual, couples and group therapy so I know what it feels like to be in therapy.

My 8-year training in the UK in depth counselling and eco-psycho-spiritual psychotherapy was extremely rigorous. Since then, I have trained with some of the world’s most influential thought leaders in the field of women’s health and well-being,  complex trauma (C-PTSD), disordered eating, emotional eating + other food, weight and body image concerns.

I am excited to be sharing this work with women on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia-wide and overseas via ZOOM.

Please take a look around for more information and feel free to email me with any questions.

DOes trauma counselling & psychotherapy WORK? SHORT ANSWER: YES!

There is a considerable amount of evidence to show that not only does therapy for trauma and emotional eating provide symptom improvement but through developing inner resources, self-knowledge and awareness, you can continue to make positive changes long after your therapy ends – this is often referred to as post-traumatic growth. The tools and awareness you develop will last you a lifetime. 

Psychotherapy & counselling have a wide range of life-long benefits.

Client love

Thank you for all the work that we did together. I know it has gone a long way to healing the way I treat myself & has given me greater Peace. Thank you for the enormous part you have played in my journey.
I spent most of my adult life putting other people’s feelings and needs first. In my therapy with Jodie, I learnt how to nurture and be true to myself.
When I came to therapy, I was depressed and suicidal; my life was pointless. Jodie sat with me in the darkness – she was so patient and always there for me.
In therapy, I learned how to become a nourishing mother to myself – this meant finding ways to soothe myself and meet my needs in other ways, rather than using food and drugs.
I found attachment and trusting in relationships to be my biggest struggle, but with Jodie’s help I barely notice it anymore. Her love and encouragement completely changed my life.
When I first came to therapy, I had no idea of the depth of the work we would do together. I’m leaving therapy so much more confident, empowered and self-believing.
I have spent most of my life in therapy, jumping from one therapist to another just waiting for something to work. And then I met Jodie. I felt comfortable and was able to be open and truthful for the first time.
Jodie’s raw approach to therapy was so refreshing. She had struggles in her own life, I knew what she said was real and I didn’t feel crazy or alone anymore because someone finally got it. Her compassion and desire to see me live my best life is palpable. I owe her my life.
Jodie is down to earth, caring and compassionate. I felt fully accepted for the first time in my life. It was this acceptance that helped me heal from my past trauma, hurts and problems.
The pain in my body was so heavy. It was unbearable. It has been a long and painful journey but now I am coming through the other side.
Sometimes therapy was hard and challenging but I learnt how to communicate more positively and I have more confidence now. It has improved my relationships with my family, with friends and at work.
The kindness, love and compassion Jodie shared with me throughout my therapy, are the most important tools I’ll ever need. The world needs a million more Jodies!
I used to feel completely worthless and not good enough – even more so after many failed attempts at therapy and being told I was ‘treatment resistant’. Jodie was patient with me and it was ultimately the start of my recovery from depression and many years of self-neglect.
Before therapy I felt abandoned and alone. I went to some dark places with Jodie, she witnessed my suffering and was there with me. It was hard but I did it and now I feel stronger.
I believe in destiny and I am so grateful that Jodie came into my life – she taught me about honesty, trust, boundaries, and healthy love.
Working with Jodie is a blessing for anyone fortunate enough to receive her support. She provided for me a space, both empty and full. Empty enough for me to find silence, stillness… and in that calm and quiet space, find me. And full- full of the love she unwaveringly offers, full of support and challenge.
Jodie always reflected back to me that there was something better, waiting on the other side of darkness. For me, she was the light house throughout my recovery journey. Jodie offered me light, until I found my own.
Working with Jodie pushed me to my limits, I wanted to quit so many times, and yet there was something in the way she mirrored back to me my own strength, my own purpose, my own soul, that kept me digging deep and showing up for myself.
