Provisional Psychologist
Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Psychology), Bachelor of Psychological Science, in the final stages of completing a Master of Clinical Psychology
I am a Provisional Psychologist who provides psychological therapy to individuals across the lifespan, from children through to older adults. I support people experiencing challenges with their emotional wellbeing, navigating life transitions, or seeking to better understand themselves and their experiences.
I recognise that seeking support can feel daunting and that therapy isn’t always easy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental, grounded in the belief that each person brings their own strengths, wisdom, and understanding of their experiences. I aim to create a safe space where we can explore challenges together, deepen self-understanding, and find ways forward that feel meaningful to you.
I have a particular interest in the relationship between physical and psychological health and its influence on wellbeing and quality of life. I am also interested in the role of nature and connection with the natural environment in supporting psychological wellbeing.
How I Can Help
I draw on person-centred therapy principles and evidence-based psychological approaches tailored to each individual’s needs, including:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed strategies
- Play-based therapeutic approaches
- Creative and art-based therapeutic activities
Experience
My clinical experience includes providing psychological therapy and assessment across university psychology clinics, private practice, and public hospital settings, as well as facilitating group therapy in a private psychiatric hospital.
I have supported people experiencing a range of mental and physical health challenges, including those receiving palliative care, recovering from surgery, injury or significant medical events, and living with chronic conditions such as autoimmune disorders, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBI).
