Clinical Psychologist
and EMDR Therapist
About me
I work therapeutically with adults who have been impacted by traumatic or stressful life events, as well as those experiencing low mood, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, grief, and/or challenges in their interpersonal relationships.
My practice is integrative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each individual. I offer a containing and non-judgemental space where you can safely share and make sense of your experiences, explore your inner world, cultivate self-compassion, and feel empowered to navigate life’s challenges.
I passionately believe in the human capacity for healing and growth, and feel privileged to support people in moving towards a more authentic and meaningful life.
“What we run from pursues us. What we face transforms us.”

Experience and special interests
I have over fourteen years of clinical experience across a range of public and private mental health settings in both Australia and the UK.
I have a special interest in working with individuals who are experiencing the impacts of psychological trauma (including complex and relational trauma). Consequently, my practice is trauma-informed, and I approach each person as a whole, bringing not only the mind but the body into therapy.
I am also highly experienced in providing gender affirming care and supporting trans, gender divergent and non-binary individuals undergoing social and/or medical gender affirmation. While I do not currently offer WPATH assessments, I have extensive prior experience in this area and understand the systemic barriers often faced by people hoping to access gender affirming medical interventions. I am passionate about providing a safe space for clients who wish to discuss and explore their experiences related to gender and/or sexuality and feel empowered to live as their most authentic selves.
I also have substantial experience helping people experiencing depression, anxiety disorders, stress and burnout, challenges in interpersonal relationships, those experiencing grief and loss, and those who identify as neurodivergent.
Training and qualifications
I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsych), a Master of Science (MSc) in Mental Health Studies, and a Bachelor of Arts (BA Hons) in Psychology. I am also trained in Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitisation Therapy (Level 1 & Level 2) Relational-Integrative EMDR (Level 1).
I am fully registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and hold an endorsement in the area of Clinical Psychology. I am also a Board-approved supervisor.
I am committed to continuous professional development to keep growing as a practitioner and learning new ways to help people. I regularly attend workshops and other educational activities on different therapeutic modalities to keep my knowledge and skills up to date and relevant to my clinical practice. I also attend regular professional supervision as well as my own personal therapy.
