Some health stories are simple.

A symptom, a prescription, relief.

But many are not.

They are layered and complex – woven from biology, history, environment, relationships, and lived experience.

When the story is complex, it needs a container.

A place with enough time, enough space, and enough trust for the patterns to show themselves.

This is the work I love most.
To sit with people in their wholeness.
To help them untangle, reconnect, and make meaning of their health.

I have the exciting opportunity to host some episodes for the GP Show! In this episode I was joined by Dr Peta Wright, Gynaecologist, Fertility Specialist and Founder of Vera Wellness. Peta is the author of Healing Pelvic Pain, published in 2023, a book about transforming the trauma of period pain, endometriosis and chronic pelvic distress. She aims to empower women to ask the right questions, get the right treatment, and make lifestyle changes that bring about release from pain. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-gp-show/id1267681502?i=1000741480915

The healthcare system that we have developed is not suited for complexity.

It was designed for simple problems or only one issue.

And yet, healing rarely works in that way.
Us humans are complex creatures. With multiple interwoven issues.

Healing asks for space.
For listening.
For being witnessed in the fullness of your life, not just fragments.

When medicine slows down, something shifts.

We can trace connections, notice patterns and discover the quiet undercurrents shaping your health and wellbeing.

There’s time for meaning. For clarity. For seeing the whole picture.

This is the kind of care I believe in.

And it’s the reason I now offer ongoing GP care that gives you continuity, depth, and hopefully, a little breathing room.

If this feels like the medicine you’ve been searching for, I’d love to connect.

Practicing medicine in the standard system can be isolating. Overwhelming. Exhausting.

It asks so much of its professionals, often without acknowledging or creating space for our humanness.

That’s why clinical mentoring isn't just a nice-to-have part of professional development.
I believe it's essential to maintaining who we are – as Doctors and as humans.

Research shows it reduces burnout, builds confidence, strengthens clinical skills, and fosters a sense of belonging – especially in systems that don’t always hold us gently.

As a clinical mentor, I offer a space where health professionals can bring doubts, grapple with complexity, and rediscover their purpose.

It’s not therapy or teaching. It’s a conversation steeped in care, experience and deep respect for the expertise you hold.

If you’re looking to build your skills, make a change, or wondering where you belong in medicine, mentoring may just help you find your way back to yourself.

If you’re interested, I’d love to chat.

So often, inner conflict feels like an ultimatum. A right or wrong decision.

Do we value work or rest?
Connection or solitude?
Freedom or security?

Sometimes, there is space for both.
Sometimes the question is not which, but how.

How can I make space for rest and productivity?
How can I honour my freedom and my security?
How can I nourish my relationships and myself?

This is the art of recognising your values, untangling the conflict and looking for places to create space for all of you.
And it’s at the heart of much of my therapeutic work – helping people rediscover what is most important to them and finding a path forward that honours this.

When we work together to find ways to help you navigate conflict, we explore this inner confusion with compassion and use values clarification as a tool to reconnect with what matters most.

Here’s a simple exercise to help you identify your core values right now.

Clarity isn’t about making the “perfect” choice.
It’s about making a more aligned one.

When inner conflict leaves you stuck, I believe these five steps may help you move forward with more ease.

Just a friendly nudge that the info here is like a basic roadmap — helpful for general guidance but not specific to your route. For advice that’s a perfect fit, reach out to your existing healthcare team or schedule an appointment.

We often think of values as strict rules. Commands. Something we need to live up to.

But values are not a cage. They are a compass.

They give us direction when we feel stuck.
They show us what matters most when we’re torn between choices.
They help us step into a life that feels more aligned with who we want to be.

When conflict arises, being clear on our values can help us make decisions more easily by showing us not just what we “should” do, but reminding us why the outcome matters to us, our lives and the way we want to be in the world.

So often, decision-making is hard not because we don’t know what to do – but because multiple parts of us want to be heard.

It’s about the many voices within us, each tugging in a different direction.

The voice of fear, warning you of what could go wrong.
The voice of “shoulds,” reminding you of expectations – yours or those borrowed from others.
The voice of your body, asking for rest, for movement, or nudging you toward connection even though it feels scary.
Or the voice of old patterns, pulling you back into what feels familiar, even when it no longer serves you.

With so much noise, it’s no surprise that mental clarity can feel far away.

But when you recognise this conflict and return to your values (your underlying principles and framework for a fulfilling life) the path can become more clear.

Because when we are making decisions based on our values, it becomes less about being ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ or what we ‘should’ do, and more about what is aligned or misaligned with the life we want to lead.

If you’d like support in learning how to clarify your values, navigate inner conflict and feel more at ease in your choices, this is part of the work I do. You know how to find me.
