A path to self-understanding and growth

I believe therapy is more than overcoming challenges. The key is finding a psychologist you feel gets you - a connection that marks the beginning of a journey rich in personal discovery.

My approach to therapy

WarmCollaborativeEvidence-based

Guided by what matters to you

Therapy is shaped around your goals, concerns, and priorities. Rather than following a standard programme, the approach is tailored to your individual needs and circumstances.

Grounded in evidence

I draw on established psychological approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy, schema therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. The methods used are selected according to your needs and the concerns bringing you to therapy.

A respectful and confidential space

Sessions provide a private, non-judgemental setting in which you can speak openly and explore difficult experiences at your own pace. Our work together is built on trust, respect, and collaboration.

In person or by telehealth

Appointments are available in person in Port Macquarie and by telehealth throughout Australia.

Referral options

You may contact our practice directly without a referral. Referrals from GPs under a Mental Health Treatment Plan are also accepted.

Therapy is a partnership: your experience, my training, and a shared commitment to the life you are working towards.

Choosing a psychologist is an important decision. Appointments are arranged directly through our practice - when you are ready, or if you have any questions, we would be pleased to hear from you.
