Hello my name is Rhi, 

My work is conducted on what always was and always will be Aboriginal land - the Kombumerri and Minjungbal peoples of the Yugambeh language region. Ngaio ging wulala jaguni - I give country respect (Yugambeh language).

As a gestalt psychotherapist, outdoor educator and group facilitator, I am passionate about both relationships and the outdoors, focusing on personal, interpersonal and ecological connection and transformation. My background is in outdoor education and adventure therapy, working with young people and their families for over 10 years. In this field, I design and facilitate contemporary Rites of Passage programs to support adolescents transition into adulthood. 

In my experience it is the relationship that heals. With this understanding, I work from the foundation of establishing a safe therapeutic relationship that is warm, gentle and collaborative, working together to support change. I also bring laughter, playfulness and experimentation. In my experience, it is a great honour to be trusted with accompanying people into their most vulnerable places, therefore I seek to bring my whole self (mind, body and spirit) to this work. 

My work is trauma-sensitive, holistic and relational, grounded in gestalt psychotherapy, nature therapy, polyvagal & interpersonal neurobiology and attachment theory. I am also influenced by somatic practices and art/creative therapies. When I am not in the therapy room, I love being outdoors - bushwalking, camping, and diving. I also enjoy playing guitar, listening to live music, playing tennis and cuddling my dog, Freddie. 

Drawing on my own lived experience of therapy, I understand some of the possible challenges people can experience being in a therapy room or online. Therefore, I also offer meeting together outdoors, combining movement, nature and psychotherapy. This could involve meeting at the beach, rock pools or a nature walk in the Gold Coast hinterland. I am open to discuss these possibilities with you. 

I am currently available on Fridays via zoom or outdoor sessions. Please make contact with me to make an appointment or have a chat
