Asking for help is the first step
The realisation that you or a loved one is in need of support from a psychologist can be difficult to come to terms with. Taking that first step is often the hardest part, and I understand that walking through my door for the first time might be scary and stressful. Part of my role is to acknowledge this and take the time to ensure you are as comfortable as possible. At my practice I strive to create a safe, secure, comfortable space and I will do my best to help you overcome any fear or stress that comes with attending our sessions.

Nari Hann
My goal is to work collaboratively with you or your loved one to help make sense of your current difficulties, and support you to make sustainable changes through evidence-based practices and therapies. I am focused on providing a compassionate, safe and non-judgemental environment, as well as the opportunity for you to discover more about yourself.
I have over 20 years of experience working in the community sector, supporting people in various ways as a social worker and registered counsellor. I am passionate about supporting people to live happier, healthier and better lives - the therapies I work with are proven to help people with a variety of mental health conditions and problems.
Outside of work I really value spending time with my wider family and other loved ones.
