Why choose Inner Compass Therapy?

Experience you can trust
With years of experience in trauma therapy, I am an EMDR-accredited practitioner and a mental health social worker dedicated to evidence-based, results-driven care. My passion lies in helping individuals heal from PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, and life transitions.

A personalised approach
Healing is deeply personal, and I honour that by creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. Every session is tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

Holistic and trauma-informed care
I integrate EMDR, trauma-informed yoga, and traditional therapy to address both mind and body, helping you reconnect with yourself and build resilience. My goal is to empower you with tools that create lasting change.

Understanding life's transitions
As a migrant to Australia, I know how challenging it can be to adjust to new environments, identities, and expectations. Whether you're a veteran, first responder, or navigating major life changes, I offer professional support and deep understanding.

Because healing starts with you
When individuals heal, communities heal. By working through your trauma and reclaiming your strength, you contribute to a healthier, more connected world. Let’s take that first step together.
