About Me
I am a Counselling Psychologist
I specialise in psychology, psychotherapy & EMDR for children, adolescents and adults.
I work with individuals, parents, couples and families, offering assessment, diagnosis, formulation and treatment for mental health & relationship issues.
I am a licensed Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator, and have completed Gottman training to deliver programs to couples and new parents. I am passionate about working with parents to help them feel confident in parenting, look after themselves so they can be present and energised in parenting and understand the needs and behaviours of their children, to create loving safe and secure attachments.
I am also a psychology board approved supervisor and EMDR consultant and am passionate about providing individual and group supervision to trainees, early career psychologists and mental health practitioners.
I will provide you with a confidential space to connect, explore, gain insight, create meaning, heal and grow.
I am dedicated to helping individuals and families in our community access the support they need to experience better mental health and wellbeing.
I work from a person-centred perspective. That is, working collaboratively with the person on what their needs and goals are.
I completed my psychology and EMDR therapy training in the UK, Ireland and Australia.
I have experience working in a variety of settings including child protection, community mental health, women’s health and family services, and schools.
I began working in private practice in Perth 2019
When i’m not working you will find me hanging out with my family and my Groodles - Seamus & Bruce.
I love travelling, camping, the beach, yoga & hiking!
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
— Dr Brene Brown
