I am a Melbourne based clinical psychologist supporting individuals aged 18 and over with psychotherapy and counselling for difficulties associated with:

  • Trauma and complex trauma related problems

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Grief, loss and life transitions

  • Lack of self-confidence or low self-esteem

  • Difficulties with interpersonal relating

With an open, curious and enquiring style, I take a client-centred approach to foster a collaborative, respectful and empathetic therapeutic relationship to support you with developing the insights and emotional shifts that facilitate therapeutic change.

 

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques including cognitive behavioural therapies, mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), I am a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA).

You may be eligible for a Medicare rebate of $145.25 per consultation if you are referred by a GP under a Mental Health Care Plan or by a psychiatrist. Currently, rebates are available for up to 10 sessions per calendar year.

You may also be eligible for payment of your sessions through Workcover, DVA, and depending on your plan, through the NDIS.

Unless you wish to claim third-party rebates you do not need a GP or psychiatrist referral to access individual psychotherapy or counselling.

All consultations are confidential except where there are legal or ethical requirements for disclosure.

Appointments can be in-person or online; although sometimes it may be more appropriate to meet in-person due to the type of work that we may be doing.

Standard consultation rates are below what is recommended by the Australian Psychological Society.

So, if you:

  • Struggle with anxiety, low/flat mood, self-doubt, guilt and shame, or problems with relationships;

  • Perhaps you experience flashbacks and dissociative experiences from past trauma?

You might:

  • Sometimes have thoughts, feelings or reactions that seem out of character;

  • Or maybe you sense that your life could be more fulfilling but you’re not sure how to get there?
