  • BPsych (Hons) MPsych (Clinical), MAPS ACPA

    I am a registered psychologist with experience supporting adolescents and adults presenting with a diverse range of mental health concerns.

  • BA (Hons) MPsych (Clinical), MAPS

    I am a registered clinical psychologist with a depth of experience gained through working in private practice, as well as providing intensive support within outpatient mental health services. My approach to therapy is integrated, sensitive, and committed to meeting your therapeutic needs in the present moment. We will work toward building a collaborative therapeutic relationship that inspires curiosity and creates space for honest communication. Becoming empowered to create change is an important aim of therapy that involves exploring and making sense of your individual history, including observing how problems have grown in your life. Over time we will develop a shared understanding of the way your experience informs your relationships and self-concept as we work together to form new perspectives, nurture self-compassion and establish more helpful patterns of thinking and being.

  • BA, PostGradDipPsych

    I have extensive experience working as a registered psychologist across clinical and forensic settings, including working with adolescents, adults and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds. My approach to therapy provides a balance between purposeful exploration, empathic reflection and careful analysis. When working with a couple, a specific focus of therapy is to support compassionate and constructive dialogue to carefully work through the complexity of relationship dynamics, including: communication difficulties and being stuck in conflict; stressed by life transitions; loss of connection and intimacy; problem behaviour such as infidelity, gambling and addiction; managing separation and divorce; and issues relating to extended family. I am dedicated to keeping you safe and grounded as we work together on your journey of healing from past trauma, resolving relationship difficulties, and exploring your inner world to understand experiences of being and becoming.

  • Founder + Practice Director
    BA(Hons) MPsych (Clinical) DPsych (Forensic), MAPS, VAPP Candidate

    I am a registered clinical and forensic psychologist, as well as psychotherapist and psychoanalytic psychotherapy candidate with diverse experience across private mental health and forensic public sectors. Therapy begins by building a collaborative and affirming relationship that provides the foundation for meaningful life change by supporting open, explorative and relational processes. My focus is on therapy that deepens understanding, connects with inner experiences, makes sense of the past and brings to awareness unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour. Together we will enhance your strengths and celebrate your courageous moments as you become empowered to assert mastery over problems, and redefine the relationship you have with yourself, others and the world.
