Therapy is a supportive space where people can explore their experiences, better understand themselves, and move towards a life that feels fuller and more intentional. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. Many people seek therapy because something doesn’t feel quite right, they’re facing a challenge, or they’re ready for insight, growth, and positive change.

I support children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate the challenges and demands of life. This might include things like managing big emotions, anxiety, low mood, behavioural concerns, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck and wanting things to change. You can read more about the specific areas I work with under the 'Services' area of this website.

No. A referral is not required to see a psychologist and anyone is welcome to make an appointment. Many people find that they are eligible for a rebate through Medicare with a valid Mental Health Treatment Plan and a referral from their GP, or a referral from their psychiatrist or paediatrician. See more about Medicare and MHTPs on the Medicare page.

Therapy is tailored to each person’s individual needs, but the process generally includes: • Getting to know you or your child — understanding experiences, strengths, and what brings you here • Clarifying what matters most — identifying goals and the changes you hope to see • Gently exploring patterns — noticing emotions, behaviours, thoughts, and ways of coping • Building supportive skills — developing practical tools to support regulation, confidence, and resilience • Integrating change — practising and strengthening new ways of responding in everyday life A session is usually 50 minutes in duration.

Therapy is different for everyone. We review progress regularly and you are welcome to continue for as long as it is helpful. Some people come for just a few sessions to address a specific issue; others stay longer for deeper work. I would generally recommend at least 10 sessions because meaningful change usually takes time.

You can see information about my fees on the Fees page of this website.

The information that you disclose in your session with a psychologist is confidential except in circumstances where there is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or where required by law (e.g., in cases of child abuse, or if subpoenaed by a court). We will talk more about this during our first session. Please note that if you are referred by your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician under the Better Access Medicare program (e.g., with a Mental Health Treatment Plan) I am required by Medicare to share summary and progress information with your referring doctor.

Come with openness and curiosity. Therapy works best when you or your child feel able to share honestly about what’s on your mind, including thoughts and feelings that may feel uncomfortable. Ask questions, share reflections, and stay open to exploring new perspectives. When working with children and adolescents, parents or caregivers are often involved in a supportive way, helping to reinforce strategies and support progress between sessions. Many people also find it helpful to jot down insights from sessions so they can reflect and continue the work between appointments.

My practice is focused on providing therapy and supporting personal growth and wellbeing. I do not offer formal assessments, medico-legal services, or reports for court proceedings, and I’m unable to provide consultation on legal matters.

No. I currently do not see clients through Workcover, NDIS, Victims of Crime, Employee Assistance Programs or other Third Party organisations.

It’s completely normal to feel unsure at first. Building trust and safety develops gradually and can take a few sessions. We can use the early meetings to get a sense of how it feels to work together and whether the approach supports what you're looking for. If it doesn’t feel like the right match, we can discuss other options.
