Individual
Counselling
Individual therapy gives you a dedicated space to talk through what has been happening, make sense of how you are feeling, and better understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
​
Sessions are 50 minutes and are available in person or via secure telehealth.
​
Therapy will look different for everyone. Depending on what brings you in, we may explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, past experiences, current stressors, or the ways you have learned to cope when things feel difficult.
​
I draw from a range of psychological approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, attachment-based frameworks, trauma-informed practice and neuroaffirming care.
​
Rather than applying the same formula to everyone, therapy is tailored to your needs, goals and preferences. This may involve learning practical strategies, managing difficult emotions, strengthening boundaries, understanding yourself more deeply, or gaining clarity around what you want next.
​
A big part of therapy can also be reconnecting with your values and making choices that feel more aligned with who you are and the life you want to create.
Supervision
Starting your journey as a psychologist is exciting, however, it can also feel overwhelming. As a clinical psychologist and AHPRA board-approved supervisor, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Whether you’re a provisional completing the 5+1 program or an early-career psychologist, I specialise in helping you tackle challenges like burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and complex client work - all while building your professional confidence and resilience.
​
Supervision sessions are flexible options to suit your needs. Whether you’re looking for regular supervision (e.g., fortnightly or monthly) or just need ad-hoc sessions when the moment calls, I’ve got you covered.
Send me an email today and let’s work together to help you thrive in your career and navigate this rewarding path with confidence.
