Services

Flexible, compassionate therapy — in the room, in nature, and alongside horses.

Psychology Eatsense Erina

Located at EatSense Psychology in Erina, I offer room-based psychological support for children, adolescents, and adults on Thursdays and Fridays.

 

My approach draws on evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR — but I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy.Sessions are tailored with care and creativity, integrating art, play, somatic tools, and relational safety to meet your needs in the moment.

 

Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, relationship stress, or neurodivergence, I work flexibly to support your growth.

​

Services at EatSense can be accessed privately or through a GP Mental Health Care Plan, private health, or NDIS (self-managed or plan-managed).

Equine Assisted Therapy - Galston (C Horses)

In Galston on Mondays, I facilitate Equine-Assisted Therapy sessions at the C Horses property — a truly beautiful space surrounded by nature, shaded by oak trees, and home to a large, well-cared-for herd of horses.

​

These sessions offer a powerful, embodied way to explore emotions, relationships, and nervous system regulation. Supported by the presence of horses, we work gently and experientially — perfect for clients who feel drawn to nature or who find traditional talk therapy overwhelming.

​

No prior experience with horses is required, and sessions can be adapted for clients with physical disabilities or other access needs. Medicare rebates may apply if referred through a Mental Health Care Plan. NDIS participants are welcome if self or plan managed.

Equine Assisted Therapy -Terrigal (Outlook Ecotherapy)

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I work at Outlook Ecotherapy in Terrigal, a holistic psychology and counselling practice that integrates traditional therapy, nature-based interventions, and equine-assisted mental health support.

​

Outlook is a peaceful, bushland setting where clients can explore psychological goals both indoors and outdoors. Our team includes psychologists and counsellors who offer creative, trauma-informed care — whether through talk-based sessions, walking therapy, or work with our small herd of therapy horses.

​

Sessions at Outlook are available for children, teens, and adults. We welcome private clients, Medicare referrals, and self- or plan-managed NDIS participants.
