Nest Psychology Brisbane L1, 524 Milton rd, Toowong, Queensland, 4066

Overview

I am a Provisional Psychologist with experience working with Eating Disorders and body image concerns, alongside other difficulties including Anxiety, Depression, trauma related challenges, stress, and perfectionism. I have a special interest in working with individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as Autistic people and ADHDers. I draw on various therapeutic modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) (skills only), and Schema Therapy. I practice in a way that is trauma-informed, strengths based, neuro-affirming, and non-weight centered (i.e. a Health at Every Size approach).
