Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in a Multidimensional Therapy session?
Each session begins with you, your experience and what feels most important in the moment.
Depending on what you are experiencing and what feels supportive, we may begin with a gentle conversation, taking some time to arrive, settle and notice what is present.
From there, our work may create space for emotional and somatic awareness, self-expression and creative exploration. This might include art therapy, journaling, noticing what is happening in the present moment or becoming curious about new possibilities.
Some experiences are easier to understand through words, while others may become clearer through noticing emotions, body sensations, imagery or recurring patterns.
We can explore these approaches individually or together, guided by what feels meaningful and supportive for you. Your experience and individual pace remain central to our work.
What can Multidimensional Therapy support Me with?
People come to Multidimensional Therapy for many different reasons, and each person brings their own experiences, concerns and hopes.
You may be experiencing anxiety or panic attacks, emotional overwhelm, grief, recurring patterns, disconnection from yourself, feeling stuck, difficulty trusting yourself or making choices, or experiences from the past that continue to affect how you feel today.
My work offers caring, committed support in areas such as anxiety and panic attacks, inner child work, emotional intelligence, emotional awareness, grief, mind-body connection, somatic awareness and reconnecting with your sense of self.
We can begin with what is happening for you and gently explore what you would like to understand, work with or experience differently.
What if I feel Stuck but don’t really know why?
Feeling stuck can sometimes be difficult to explain. You may sense that something needs attention without being entirely sure what it is.
Perhaps familiar situations keep repeating, decisions feel difficult, or you have become disconnected from what matters to you.
Therapeutic work offers a reflective space to become curious about these experiences.
Together, we can explore your emotions, recurring patterns, relationships, earlier experiences and body awareness, gradually developing a clearer understanding of what may be happening beneath the surface.
We can begin with whatever you are able to share.
Can Therapy help Me understand why I keep repeating the same patterns?
Recurring patterns can appear in relationships, emotional responses, boundaries, self-worth and everyday choices.
Through gentle reflection, we can explore when these patterns arise, how you experience them emotionally and physically, and whether earlier experiences or learned responses may be influencing them.
Understanding a pattern with greater compassion can create space to recognise how you respond and consider different possibilities.
The intention is to support greater awareness, self-understanding and choice in how you relate to yourself and others.
Can Multidimensional Therapy support Me with anxiety or panic attacks?
Anxiety can affect your thoughts, emotions and body. You may experience persistent worry, feeling on edge, difficulty settling, physical tension, fear, overwhelm or episodes of panic.
Our work provides a caring space to explore how anxiety is experienced by you, recognise recurring patterns and triggers, and develop greater emotional and body awareness.
Depending on your needs, sessions may include counselling-informed reflection, present-moment awareness and gentle somatic exploration.
Emotional Healing & Anxiety Therapy offers further information about this area of my work.
Multidimensional Therapy provides complementary therapeutic support rather than medical diagnosis or treatment. If anxiety or panic attacks are significantly affecting your daily life, speaking with your GP or an appropriately registered health professional is also important.
What Is Inner Child Work?
Inner child work explores how earlier experiences, emotional needs and learned patterns may continue to influence how you feel and relate to yourself and others today.
You may notice that certain situations bring up strong emotions, familiar fears, self-doubt or ways of protecting yourself that seem connected to something deeper.
Through compassionate reflection, we can explore these experiences and develop greater understanding of their relationship with your present life.
Inner Child Therapy offers a dedicated space to explore this area of self-understanding.
For further reflection, you can also read Inner Child Work: How Childhood Experiences Can Shape Adult Life.
What Is Somatic Awareness and why might We include the body in Therapy?
Our emotions and experiences can also be reflected in the body.
You may notice tension, changes in breathing, heaviness, restlessness, numbness or other sensations when particular feelings, memories or situations arise.
Somatic awareness involves gently noticing these experiences as another source of information.
When appropriate, we may explore what you notice in your body alongside your thoughts and emotions, allowing space for a deeper understanding of your individual experience.
You can explore more about this approach on the Somatic Therapy & Mind-Body Support page.
What if I find It difficult to talk about how I Feel?
Finding words for our experiences can sometimes take time.
You may recognise that something is affecting you while finding it difficult to explain exactly what you are feeling.
My integrative approach allows us to explore your experience through different forms of expression. Alongside conversation, we may use art therapy, imagery, journaling, emotional awareness or gentle attention to body sensations.
These approaches can offer another way to notice and express what is happening within you, particularly when words feel difficult to access.
Do I need to be creative or good at art to try Art Therapy?
Art therapy welcomes people with all levels of creative experience, including those who have never considered themselves artistic.
The focus is on exploration and expression rather than artistic ability or the finished result.
Through colour, imagery, shapes or other creative processes, you may discover different ways to explore emotions, memories, patterns and experiences.
What matters is your relationship with the creative process and what becomes meaningful to you along the way.
You can learn more about this approach on the Art Therapy page.
Can Multidimensional Therapy help Me reconnect with Myself?
Reconnecting with yourself may begin with noticing what you feel, need, value and experience in everyday life.
Sometimes, while managing responsibilities or meeting the expectations of others, it can become difficult to recognise what genuinely matters to you.
Our work offers space to slow down and explore your emotions, needs, body responses, personal values and recurring patterns with greater awareness.
The intention is to support a more connected, compassionate and trusting relationship with yourself, allowing greater clarity around your own choices and direction.
What Is Emotional Intelligence, and can I develop it?
Emotional intelligence involves becoming more aware of emotions, understanding what they may be communicating, recognising emotional patterns and developing greater choice in how you respond to yourself and others.
For some people, this begins with learning to notice and name what they feel. For others, it may involve exploring emotional triggers, boundaries, relationships or the connection between thoughts, emotions and body responses.
Through reflection, curiosity and emotional awareness, these capacities can be explored and developed gradually.
You can explore this topic further in Understanding Emotional Intelligence.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on before I begin?
We can begin with whatever has brought you here.
You may have a clear concern you would like to explore, or perhaps a feeling that something in your life needs attention.
Our early sessions provide space to understand your experiences, identify what feels important and explore what you would like to work towards.
A free discovery call is also available if you would like to discuss your needs and learn more about my approach before arranging a session.
Does Multidimensional Therapy offer focused Programs as well as Individual sessions?
Individual sessions are currently available for adults seeking personalised, integrative therapeutic support.
I am also developing focused therapeutic and self-development pathways around particular concerns and areas of personal growth, including inner child work, anxiety, emotional intelligence, greater self-awareness and reconnecting with a more authentic sense of self.
These developing programs aim to offer greater structure and direction while preserving the individual and responsive nature of my approach.
Further information will be shared on the website as these programs become available.
How long Is a Therapy session?
A standard individual session is 60 minutes.
Longer 75-minute or 90-minute sessions may also be available when additional time would feel helpful, particularly for reflective, creative or experiential work.
We can discuss the most suitable session length before arranging a longer appointment.
How often should I have Therapy sessions?
Session frequency is guided by your individual needs, circumstances and the kind of support you are seeking.
Some people value regular sessions for continuity, while others appreciate additional time between appointments for reflection and integration.
Together, we can explore a rhythm that feels supportive, realistic and sustainable for you.
Can I choose between online and in-person sessions?
Yes. You can choose the format that best supports your circumstances and preferences, subject to appointment availability.
Online sessions are available across Australia, allowing you to attend from your own private space.
Selected in-person sessions are available in Dulwich Hill, Sydney’s Inner West.
We can discuss which format may feel most suitable before you begin.
Does Multidimensional Therapy work with Individuals, couples or families?
Multidimensional Therapy currently offers individual therapeutic support for adults.
Your personal work may naturally include exploring relationships, family experiences, emotional history and interpersonal patterns.
Couples and family therapy are outside the current service offering.
Is what I share confidential?
Your privacy is treated with care and respect.
What you share during sessions is kept confidential within the usual ethical and legal limits.
These limits may include situations involving serious concerns about your safety or another person’s safety, or circumstances where disclosure is required by law.
You are welcome to ask questions about confidentiality before or during our work together. Understanding how your information is handled is an important part of building trust.
Can I have Multidimensional Therapy alongside other Therapy, healthcare or medication?
Yes. Multidimensional Therapy can sit alongside other forms of professional support, including care provided by your GP, psychologist, psychiatrist or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Sessions may offer complementary space for self-understanding, emotional awareness, creative reflection and body-aware exploration.
Multidimensional Therapy does not replace medical advice, psychological diagnosis, emergency care or treatment provided by registered health professionals.
If you are taking prescribed medication or receiving medical or psychological care, please continue following the guidance of your treating professional.
How much does a Therapy session cost?
A standard 60-minute individual session is AU$190.
When a longer session has been arranged, additional time is currently charged at AU$30 per 15 minutes.
We can discuss the most appropriate session length before you book.
What Is your cancellation policy?
Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
This allows the reserved appointment time to be offered to another person who may be waiting for support.
How do I know if Multidimensional Therapy feels right for Me?
