THERAPY FOR EMOTIONAL EATING, TRAUMA AND FEELING NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Soul-Centred Psychotherapy, Therapeutic Counselling and Coaching for Women on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, and Australia-wide Online.
I provide short term therapeutic counselling and coaching for specific issues, and medium to long term depth psychotherapy for longstanding, deep rooted problems and trauma. My practice is located on the Northern Beaches, in Allambie Heights, Frenchs Forest and Manly, however, women come to me for therapy from all over Sydney, and online.
Some women come to me for therapy not because they have problems, but because they are wondering, ‘who am I?’. They want to get to know themselves better and live a richer, deeper, soulful, more meaningful life.
A SOULFUL APPROACH: THERAPY FOR EMOTIONAL EATING, TRAUMA AND FEELING NOT GOOD ENOUGH
The Emotional Eating Iceberg
In our work together, we look beyond the surface. Your symptoms are often like the tip of an iceberg; they are the visible signs of much deeper, underlying layers that need our compassion and attention.
The Surface: Emotional Eating and Food Issues: Many women first seek my help to recover from emotional eating, disordered eating, and concerns around food, weight, and body image.
The Middle Layer: Self Worth and Feeling Not Good Enough: Beneath the struggle with food and other self-destructive or self-protective behaviours, is often a painful feeling of not being good enough. We work together to recover your low self worth, build your esteem and confidence, and help you reconnect with your whole self.
The Deep Roots: Family Systems: To create lasting change, we explore the foundations of your relational life. This includes navigating difficult mother/daughter and father/daughter relationships and understanding the family system you grew up in.
The Foundation: Healing Trauma and Attachment At the very base of the iceberg lies our work on attachment, relational trauma, complex trauma, and developmental trauma. Healing these foundations through the therapy relationship allows for true transformation and post traumatic growth.
BEYOND THE ICEBERG: OTHER AREAS OF HEALING
While the iceberg represents the core of my work, soul centred psychotherapy and counselling can also support you through the various transitions and complexities of a woman’s life, including:
-
Identity and Meaning: Finding value and purpose, parts and inner child work, spiritual awakening, and reconnecting with your Soul-Self during times of loss or disconnection.
-
Life Transitions: Support for women’s health and well being at any age, including life crisis, infertility, and adoption.
-
Complex Histories: Navigating childhood emotional neglect, codependency, and healing from histories of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.
-
Addiction Recovery: Compassionate support for those navigating the path of recovery from various addictive patterns.
A SPACE FOR TRANSFORMATION AND POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH
Your sessions with me provide a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive space to explore your inner and outer life, thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Over the last 25 years, I have witnessed many women shine as they recover and reconnect with their whole selves: body, feelings, mind, and Soul.
There is a considerable amount of evidence to show that therapy provides more than just symptom improvement. Through developing inner resources, self-knowledge, and awareness, you can continue to improve long after your therapy ends. The tools and awareness you develop will last you a lifetime.
