Tori has had extensive experience working in the fields of addiction, trauma and mental health, believing strongly in each persons capacity for healing.
Incorporating her training in process orientated psychology, addiction counselling, Pia Melody’s post induction therapy, couples sex addiction counselling and the wisdom of the cycles, she brings an intuitive, experiential and wholistic approach to therapy.
Tori has worked at a senior level in addiction and trauma treatment centres in Australia for 15 years, and currently holds the role of Senior Therapist at South Pacific Private.
When Tori is not doing Private Practice she is running the Love Addiction, Love Avoidance Workshop, The Men's Sex Addiction Intensive Program and The Sex Addiction Betrayal Trauma Family Program at South Pacific Private. Tori also facilitates the Changes Program at South Pacific Private.
"Having travelled my own healing journey I know the bravery it takes to lean into the places that we often avoid and abandon".
Detoxing from emotional wounds often brings about a greater level of resistance and fear than detoxing from drugs and alcohol. This is why the therapeutic alliance is one that is of great value and importance. It provides the safe container for authentic expression and the vulnerability required for healing to occur.
Tori is an approved victims services counsellor and offers counselling and psychotherapy sessions face to face in Sydney, Northern Beaches, Crows Nest and via zoom for people who are in other parts of Australia or abroad.
