Coming Home,
a holistic psychology & wellness service
“Trauma is not what happens to you. It’s what happens inside you. It is the wound you sustained. That’s the good thing, because the wound can be healed at any time.”
Supporting your healing Journey
Coming Home Psychology came about through years of working with individuals and noticing that my role was not to tell them what to do or to “fix” anything, although that is what most people seek, but to support and guide them on a journey into trusting themselves, connecting with their authentic self or getting to know this part and honouring the wisdom of their own bodies and souls. The process of supporting someone to find their way back to themselves is the coming home to one’s true self that enables deep healing, integration, wholeness and connection.
“Coming home does not have a specific destination but rather a lifelong journey of becoming more of who one really is”
This approach to mental health and treating people’s dysfunctions and traumas is one that removes the stigma. “It is not what is wrong with you but what has happened to you and how did you learn to cope and survive?”

I am a registered Psychologist and Somatic Informed Therapist with 10+ years experience in supporting people across a number of different areas to heal and flourish in life. In the past 5 years my practice has expanded into a holistic psychology service that works with a person as a whole, with all the complexity and richness of human experience; integrating mind, body and spirit.
My passion for Somatic therapy began after a number of training courses and self-development journeys that opened my mind to the world of embodiment practices to support healing. It was a case of once you learn it, see it, apply it and feel it you cannot un-see, unlearn or un-feel and it must be shared! It completely changed my practice and filled the gap I was constantly feeling with traditional Psychology alone.
I am based in the Sunshine Coast, QLD and offer both in person sessions as well as online sessions.
I currently work with individuals 16 years + with a range of presentations including:
survivors of childhood sexual abuse
women and children affected by family and domestic violence
veterans and emergency service workers or anyone impacted by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
I also work in relational trauma, stress, anxiety, depression and post-natal issues
I have an extensive history of working with children in foster care and out of home care as well as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). I have been a behaviour specialist for NDIS for 10 years offering support to children, young people and carers with mental health issues, trauma and disabilities. I am limited in my capacity to take on these clients at present however having knowledge of the gaps in these systems and the systemic trauma involved I am always happy to discuss support options so please feel free to contact me to discuss.
I am registered to provide support under Medicare, allowing for 10 rebated sessions per calendar year, Victims Services, Work Cover and NDIS.
I work in a holistic and inclusive way to build trust in hope that together we can explore, nurture, heal, transform and support people to come home to their most authentic and wholesome self. I work in a deeply humanistic and relational way, aiming to have individuals feeling empowered, safe and connected. I have completed trainings and professional development with some of the worlds leading experts in the field of trauma, neuropsychology and interpersonal neurobiology including Dan Siegel, Stephen Porges, Allan Schore, Bessel Van Der Kolk, Janina Fischer, Pat Ogden, Gabor Mate and Bruce Perry. I recently completed my Somatic Attachment Therapist Training with The Embodiment Lab and am a fully trained EMDR Therapist (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing).
