About Me
I am an endorsed Clinical Psychologist with 15 years experience. My career began at the Royal Children's Hospital, an experience that profoundly shaped my approach as a psychologist. With over eight years of working in a hospital setting, I had the opportunity of working with children, adolescents, and young adults that presented with a diverse, complex range of developmental and mental health concerns.
I have worked at several secondary schools, working closely with students, parents, teachers, and external allied and medical health professionals. The multi-faceted role focused on supporting student wellbeing, helping students navigate academic challenges, social pressures, personal and mental health struggles whilst also having a deep understanding of adolescent development and the educational system.
With a genuine passion for supporting others, I have always approached my role with empathy and unwavering dedication to promoting positive mental health and making a meaningful impact in the lives of those seeking support. A core part of my work has been the assessment and treatment of people facing emotional, social, behavioural, cognitive, learning or mental health challenges.
My understanding of the unique needs of each client and the importance of a holistic approach to mental health care has been nurtured by the diverse and dynamic environments of working in a hospital and school setting. By incorporating various psychological assessment tools and treatment approaches it allows me to provide a personalised experience based on each person’s unique needs.
Drawing from evidence-based therapies and combining different modalities, I have developed a versatile toolkit to address a wide range of concerns. This approach goes beyond surface-level symptoms, delving into the underlying factors that contribute to each persons well-being. I commit to offering a compassionate, collaborative, and individualised assessment and treatment journey that aims to promote long-term growth and health. Together, we'll embark on a path towards a healthier and happier you.
