Amy is a registered psychologist who is currently undertaking the clinical psychology registrar program. She has previously worked with people across the lifespan in hospital outpatient clinics, community mental health services, and university counselling centres. She currently works with adults aged 18+ for a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, and OCD. Amy is passionate about helping people achieve a greater understanding of themselves and their patterns, to develop new ways of coping with difficult thoughts or emotions, and to start to take steps toward the life that they want.
Amy's approach is informed by evidence-based treatments, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
Mostly, Amy provides a relaxed space where people can feel comfortable, accepted, and safe to share things that are hard to speak about elsewhere. She values working with people from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds, and she tailors each person's treatment to ensure their needs, preferences, and feedback are incorporated into the sessions.
