My approach

Every person is different, so I draw on a range of approaches and choose what fits you. These may include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), as well as somatic and nature-based approaches. Throughout, I aim to work in a trauma-informed and collaborative way, at a pace that suits you, adjusting how we work as we go.

What to expect

  1. 1

    Get in touch

    Send a short message. You don’t need to explain everything.

  2. 2

    First session

    We talk about what brings you and whether working together seems a good fit.

  3. 3

    Working together

    We agree on goals and a plan that fits. Often, working together means talking things through, exploring patterns and learning practical skills, with small steps to try between sessions if that suits you. We check in regularly on how things are going and adjust as we go.

Common questions

If your question isn’t here, please get in touch.

Do I need a referral?

You don’t need a referral to get in touch. To claim a Medicare rebate, you’ll need a referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. Rebates may also apply with a Chronic Condition Management Plan or an Eating Disorder Treatment and Management Plan. Please note this is not a specialised eating disorder service.

What are the fees?

Please get in touch to ask about fees. Medicare rebates may be available for eligible sessions. Some private health insurers may also cover part of the cost.

How do online sessions work?

Sessions are held online by video. Please join from a quiet, private space where you can talk freely, with no children or anyone else able to hear.

Do you work with organisations?

Yes. I offer confidential one-on-one support for employees and leaders. Other psychological input is available by arrangement.

Do you work with children?

Therapy is for adults and young people aged 16 and over. Psychological assessments are available for all ages.

Can we meet in person?

Sessions for individuals are held online. For organisations, I can travel within Australia by arrangement, for example to provide assessments, EAP support or training at your premises.

Is this an emergency service?

No. This practice is not an emergency or crisis service. If you need urgent help in Australia, call 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14. Elsewhere, call your local emergency number.
