How I usually work

I’m down to earth, honest, and approachable, and I use humour where it feels appropriate. Therapy with me isn’t about formality or jargon — it’s about having real conversations in a space that feels supportive and comfortable.

I value clarity and transparency, and I aim to explain things in a way that makes sense, while always being respectful, thoughtful, and compassionate. My goal is for clients to feel understood and able to speak openly, without fear of judgement.

Clients I work well with

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and a variety of emotional or psychological challenges. I also support people through complex issues such as trauma, personality-related difficulties, and thought of harm to self. I approach these topics with sensitivity, calm, and genuine care, and I prioritise safety and collaboration throughout therapy.

My work draws on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), along with other therapeutic frameworks including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, metacognitive therapy, and EMDR where clinically appropriate. These approaches are tailored to suit each person’s needs and goals. I place a strong emphasis on collaboration and welcome feedback throughout the process, as I believe therapy works best when we regularly check in and adjust our approach together.

What sessions with me are like

Sessions with me are typically structured but conversational. I often use diagrams, visual explanations, or written summaries to help clients notice patterns over time and better understand what’s happening for them. Many people find this practical approach helpful for gaining insight and identifying meaningful changes they want to work towards.

I’m a strong believer in visual tools — even if my drawing skills aren’t particularly impressive. Fortunately, the usefulness of the ideas tends to matter far more than the artwork.

My qualifications include:

- Masters of Clinical Psychology

- Board Approved Supervisor

- Registration with Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)

- Member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPS)
