Psychology is my second career, and reflects a passion for understanding people that developed over my many years as a nurse. I’ve been fortunate to have led a full and interesting life, which has shaped my empathy, compassion, and appreciation for people from all backgrounds, and the suffering we sometimes face. I’m committed to fostering a warm and accepting space where people feel comfortable sharing their experiences and challenges. I work alongside clients as they make sense of the past, navigate the present, and find hope for the future.

As a Psychologist, I am deeply committed to a person-centred approach, working collaboratively with my clients and valuing them as the experts in their own lives. I am passionate about working with children, young people and adults, aged 8 to 35, and strive to advocate for their needs and well-being. Alongside my passion for psychology, I paint, read and ride horses, and drink Earl Grey tea. I recharge in nature at every opportunity and enjoy a good beachside market.

I am a Registered Psychologist, PsyBA Supervisor and Doctoral Candidate in Clinical Psychology, currently in private practice with Reflective Psychology and providing clinical supervision for MST-CAN. I offer client-focussed and trauma-informed treatment for a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, and trauma.

This includes working with families and children around challenging behaviours, providing developmentally appropriate education and guidance around supporting children and managing challenging behaviours. I work with clients to help them understand how their experiences and their beliefs about themselves impact their day to day lives, not only in how they see and interpret themselves in the world, but how they relate to others.

I welcome clients from all walks of life, including people who identify as First Nations, culturally diverse, and/or LGBTQIA+. I also enjoy supporting children and young people, having worked in youth mental health settings for several years.

I am a registered psychologist living and working on beautiful Gumbaynggirr country where I am grateful to have lived for most of my life. I am a warm, compassionate and authentic clinician who brings a collaborative and non-judgemental approach to therapy. I have previously worked in schools and the non-government sector supporting children, adolescents and families. Outside of psychology, I spend most of my time exploring the stunning coastline with my young family.

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) and yoga teacher. A deeply caring clinician, I view working with every client as a privilege. I know how difficult it can be to seek counselling support and honour my clients for “where they’re at” in their journey of healing and growth. I draw upon current practices in the fields of social work, sociology, psychology, neurobiology, mindfulness and yogic teachings, to work with emotional distress and mental health conditions. On a personal note, I have spent many years practising yoga and meditation including time in Buddhist monasteries in both Nepal and Australia. This has been integral to my development as a therapist and has influenced my understanding of human psychology, behaviour and wellbeing.

I am a clinical psychologist in private practice with Reflective Psychology and also work in perinatal care for the Gidget Foundation.

My special interests are: Supervision Trauma Perinatal Mental Health Menopausal transition Depression Anxiety Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Eating Disorders

I am a Registered Psychologist who has the privilege of living and working on beautiful Gumbaynggirr country. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work across various clinical environments, including headspace, Bellingen youth hub, residential rehab and within the schools and community centres along our stunning coastline. I am passionate about mental health and feel honoured to walk alongside individuals on their unique journeys towards mental health and wellbeing.

I work collaboratively with my clients to explore their personalised mental health journey and toolkit, and adapt my approach with evidence-based treatments to suit every individual’s needs and preferences. Modality & Approach: My approach to practice is client-centred and strengths-based, working with each person to explore their own journey with mental health.

I am a registered psychologist in private practice with Reflective Psychology. I particularly enjoy working with anxiety symptoms across the lifespan, and across the neurodiversity spectrum. In our work together we draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Schema Therapy, to make sure you’re getting what you need out of the appointments. I enjoy working with a range of stress and anxiety presentations and disorders such as social anxiety, panic attacks, trauma and OCD, and also anxiety in the context of everyday life challenges and changes such as grief and loss, relationship stressors, school and peer issues, and life milestones such as retirement. Anxiety is nuanced and unique for each individual and our sessions may also involve working on other factors important to you such as sleep and mood and motivation. Your first session with me is all about hearing what’s been happening for you and together deciding what we might like to focus on. This is because I believe therapy is most effective when tailored to each individual’s own goals and strengths. I also have a research interest in reflective practice, which sits alongside my experience in clinical supervision and leadership to provide clinical supervision in an open and reflective way.
