My Approach Effective therapy is built on a respectful, collaborative relationship. Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is a major contributor to positive outcomes. My focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your own progress.
I value the uniqueness of every person I work with and welcome clients from all cultures, identities, and life experiences. My practice is guided by respect, curiosity, and cultural humility, and I aim to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. I acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land and honour their Elders past and present.
How I Work I draw on a range of evidence‑based approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Solution‑Focused Therapy, and developmentally appropriate play‑based methods. I only offer interventions for which I have appropriate training, experience, and supervision, in line with the Psychology Board of Australia’s Code of Conduct.
Who I Support I work with children, adolescents, and adults on a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and developmental concerns. My practice also provides cognitive and educational assessments to help clarify learning needs, strengths, and areas for support.
Qualifications I hold postgraduate qualifications in psychology and education, along with additional training in trauma‑informed practice and clinical supervision. I am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure my work reflects current evidence and best practice.
Commitment to Cultural Safety I am committed to providing culturally safe, inclusive, and respectful care for all clients. I acknowledge the unique histories, strengths, and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and strive to ensure my practice supports cultural identity, safety, and wellbeing.
