As an experienced therapist, I recognise the need to empower my clients to collaborate in how we make sense of why you’re feeling the way you are. I take time to thoughtfully consider the way in which what you’re experiencing now, your past experiences and the relationships around you are all coming together. I value openness and will always do what I can to be transparent in the tools, strategies and approaches I employ to help you.
I recognise the need to truly understand your experiences, using this to build a scaffold to help us make sense of your inner world. I also recognise that for meaningful change, this needs to be balanced with connection to your emotions, acknowledging your needs and building self-compassion.
I have experience working in both public and private hospitals, private practice, and volunteering to support people to improve their mental health. The therapy approach I use is informed by a number of different evidence based psychological therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Schema Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist with 10 years of experience working across both public and private mental health settings. My practice is informed by a commitment to understanding the complexities of human experiences and tailoring psychological care to each individual’s unique needs and circumstances. I believe that a strong and collaborative therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of effective treatment and place great value on fostering a safe, respectful, and engaging environment for my clients.I strive to approach therapy with honesty and clear communication, helping clients to gain clarity about their difficulties while working toward meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. My practice is informed by evidence-based psychological interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), schema therapy, and psychodynamic approaches. These modalities allow me to address a wide range of concerns with flexibility and precision, ensuring that treatment aligns with best practices and is suited to each client’s goals.
In working with clients, my focus is on identifying and addressing the underlying factors contributing to their challenges, while also building on their strengths and resilience. Whether clients are navigating periods of personal difficulty, managing ongoing mental health concerns, or seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves, my aim is to provide thoughtful and effective psychological care that supports progress and growth over time.

Standard consultations are charged at $250 for approximately 50 minutes duration. These fees are set well below the Australian Psychological Society recommended rate of $311.
Medicare rebates are available when using a mental health care plan and referral from your GP. As clinical psychologists, these provide a rebate of $141.85 meaning the gap between consultation fee and rebate is approximately $110. Please see below for further information about using mental health care plans.
Please provide 48 hours notice for cancellations and rescheduling appointments. Cancellation fees are charged at 50% of the consultation fee if less than 48 hours notice and 100% of the consultation fee is less than 24 hours notice.
-
If you would like to claim rebates, you will need both a mental health care plan and a referral letter addressed to the clinical psychologist you’re seeing for your appointment.
Please be aware that using a mental health care plan requires your psychologist to write a summary letter for your doctor to review. A second referral from your GP is required after a maximum of 6 sessions in order to access the maximum number of 10 rebates per calendar year.
A referral from a GP lasts for up to 12 months, and a referral from a psychiatrist lasts for up to 3 months.
