What makes my practice unique

Specialist skill set

I’m a specialist mental health clinician with advanced qualifications and training, including accreditation with the Australian Association of Social Workers.

 

I have over 15 years’ experience in child and adolescent mental health, attachment disruption, complex trauma, and PTSD, supporting individuals who have been exposed to multiple traumatic events.

 

My expertise spans assessment, formulation and treatment planning, ensuring that interventions are evidence-based and tailored to your unique needs.

Boutique practice

My practice is intentionally small and personal – every client works directly with me.

 

Therapy is most effective when you feel safe enough to be open and vulnerable, and I’ve created a space that supports this process. My home-based setting is quiet, private and free from the clinical feel of larger practices. I’ve consciously designed the space to create a calm and comforting environment that fosters a sense of security and trust. My cats, Mia and Grace, may occasionally make an appearance, offering a grounding presence for those who find comfort in animals, particularly during trauma-focused work.

Inclusive approach

It’s critical that all my clients feel safe and accepted when working with me. My practice is proudly:

 

  • LGBTIQA+ friendly: All genders and sexualities are welcome and respected.
  • Neurodiversity-affirming: Neurodiversity is accepted and celebrated. All clients receive support tailored to their unique ways of experiencing the world.
  • Trauma-informed: I have a specialist understanding of trauma and its impact on mental and emotional wellbeing. My approach is grounded in a strengths-based framework prioritising safety, trust, choice, collaboration and empowerment to support meaningful and sustainable change.
