I am passionate about early intervention and experienced in working collaboratively to help create happier stronger families. How we work together depends on your family, the specific challenges you are facing and your goals for change.

I offer services in the following areas:

Perinatal Referrals

During pregnancy and the first year of your child’s life a lot is changing, and this can be a good time to seek support for difficulties you or your parenting partner may be experiencing such as worry and anxiety, changes in mood, or adjustment to early parenting.

Child Mental Health

Early identification and intervention for mental health challenges in childhood offers lifelong benefits. Many mental health difficulties first emerging as early as the preschool years. Seeking help for concerns such as anxiety, mood changes or challenging behaviours can be an important step in supporting your child’s positive social and emotional development.  

Parenting and Family Support

Many people describe parenting as their most rewarding and important role in life. However, this doesn’t mean it is always easy or enjoyable. Parenting can bring many challenges, stress, exhaustion and even feelings of isolation or shame. Therapy offers parents the chance for dedicated time and mental space to reflect on your needs in your parenting journey, and an opportunity to work together with an experienced professional to develop skills and practices to help you create the family relationships you are looking for.

In my therapeutic work I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health support for people at every stage of life. If you are navigating a life transition or relationship changes, career stress or burnout, or if you are experiencing anxiety, depression or trauma related symptoms, therapy can provide a safe space and opportunity for self-reflection. Therapy can also assist you to gain support and develop or strengthen skills for change.

During an initial appointment we will work together to explore your needs and set goals. In sessions we develop tailored approaches guided by your needs and preferences. My clinical experience is grounded in evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Trauma-informed care, brief-solution focussed therapy and motivational interviewing. We will use practical tools and monitoring to review progress and ensure you are getting the most out of your time. 

As a practitioner I take a holistic and empowering approach to my clinical work. Our sessions will create a confidential, respectful environment where diversity, culture and individuality are recognised and honoured.

I work with adults in the following areas:

·       Anxiety and worry

·       Depression and mood challenges

·       Stress and burn out

·       Trauma and PTSD

·       Relationship difficulties and interpersonal connecting

·       Self-esteem, confidence and purpose

·       Life transitions: career change, parenting, ageing, retirement

·       Grief and loss

Clinical Supervision

I provide clinical supervision services for psychologists offering tailored, reflective and evidence-informed support to enhance clinical skills, ensure ethical practice and promote professional development.

I am a Psychology Board of Australia approved supervisor. I have extensive experience providing supervision to provisional psychologists, clinical psychology registrars, and contributing to the supervisory needs of a team of experienced clinicians at the Child Behaviour Research Clinic at the University of Sydney, an integrated training, treatment and research clinic.

I offer ongoing supervision to meet your registration and or registrar requirements. I also offer specialist supervision and case consultation for child mental health referrals.  

As a psychologist, clinical supervision and professional development is essential at every stage of your career. Engaging in these learning opportunities is not just a formal requirement of our profession but an investment in your professional fulfilment and the quality of care you provide to your clients. As a supervisor, I am committed to engaging in a collaborative space that strengthens clinical confidence, client outcomes and career progression. Please get in touch to discuss your supervisory needs and goals.

Training and Professional Development

I am also an experienced educator with a background in training and providing specific professional development opportunities for a range of professionals within the mental health workforce including psychology, psychiatry, general practice, school counselling and social work. I have contributed to research within the field of psychology producing a number of articles published in peer reviewed journals, and delivering invited talks and presentations.

I am available to run workshops and guest lectures for universities, schools and allied health practices. Please get in touch to discuss topics and areas of interest for your organisation.
