My Therapy Tips, Tools & Insights

Newcastle NSW Australia

 

Welcome to my relationship and therapy blog — a space where I share evidence-based tools, intuitive insights, and deep reflections on emotional wellbeing, couples therapy and personal transformation.

You’ll find articles covering a wide range of therapy tips rooted in my experience as a practitioner in marriage counselling, couples therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles, emotional blocks, or inner healing, these writings are here to support your journey.

My posts draw on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, and trauma-informed therapy, as well as insights gathered from decades of direct client work. I also include book recommendations, guided tools, and practical techniques that help shift long-held patterns and create space for lasting change.

I’m especially passionate about:

  • Breaking subconscious conditioning and generational beliefs

  • Exploring how neurobiology and mood states impact love and attachment

  • Helping individuals and couples shift their vibrational frequency by releasing emotional blocks and negative thought patterns

My writing encourages self-inquiry, emotional mastery, and conscious relationships. I believe that when we understand the root of our reactions — especially within intimate partnerships — we unlock the power to rewire our inner world and reimagine our connections.

If you’re seeking deeper connection, self-awareness, or support through relationship challenges, I hope these articles offer insight and inspiration. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship or healing from heartbreak, there’s something here for anyone wanting to grow. For more about my approach go to my couples or individuals pages.
