Individual Therapy
I provide evidence-based clinical psychology for children, adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing emotional, behavioural, or mental health difficulties. Whether you’re seeking support through a specific challenge or looking to better understand yourself or your child, therapy offers a collaborative space to build insight, develop practical skills, and create meaningful change.
While I work with people across the lifespan, I have a particular interest in supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and their families.
I provide support for:
- Anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, specific phobias, panic, and excessive worry
- Depression and other mood difficulties
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs), including skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting
- Autism and ADHD
- Emotion regulation difficulties
- Anger and behavioural challenges
- Gender diversity and gender dysphoria
- Friendship, peer, and relationship difficulties
- Life transitions and adjustment challenges, including school transitions and major life changes
- Stress, burnout, and emotional wellbeing
My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual and draws on evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as appropriate.
Parent Support
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in a child’s emotional wellbeing. I offer child-focused parent support to help families better understand their child’s needs and develop practical strategies that can be used at home and in everyday life.
Sessions may involve parents or caregivers individually, or together with their child, depending on your goals.
Parent support may include:
- Understanding your child’s emotions and behaviour
- Parent coaching for practical strategies for managing challenging behaviours, building emotion regulation skills, and generally supporting your child’s needs
- Building on your family’s existing strengths and confidence
The goal is to help create sustainable, supportive changes that work for your family.
Collaboration & Advocacy
Effective support often involves working collaboratively with the important people in your or your child’s life.
Where appropriate and with your consent, I can work alongside schools, medical professionals, and other members of your care team to ensure everyone is working towards shared goals.
This may include:
- School liaison and consultation
- Care team meetings
- Communication with GPs, paediatricians, psychiatrists, and allied health professionals
- Recommendations for educational supports and reasonable adjustments
- Written reports and supporting documentation when clinically appropriate
Working collaboratively helps ensure therapy extends beyond the clinic room and into everyday environments where it matters most.
