I've been helping people with their mental health issues for over 20 years, focussing on ADHD, peri-menopause & menopause, depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationships, as well as stress, life transitions, and trauma.
I am a great listener, with sharp perception skills, getting straight to the issues or barriers that are holding you back. I use a practical approach (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), combined with aspects of Narrative, Person-Centred, and using metaphors and art therapy techniques to help highlight areas of concern/improvement/action.

I’m a registered psychologist offering telehealth across Australia for neurodivergent adolescents and adults, and for parents and carers of children with developmental differences or complex/rare health conditions. Many clients I work with appear outwardly capable yet carry anxiety, overwhelm or burnout. I understand the emotional toll of navigating health, education or disability systems and ongoing uncertainty, and offer a calm, neuro-affirming and collaborative space that supports understanding, emotional regulation and sustainable coping. I hold a PhD in cyberpsychology and also support people affected by online harm and scams.

Is the pace of life leaving you drained, overwhelmed, or running on empty? You may feel caught between the weight of responsibility and the quiet question, "Am I doing enough?" This is often true for parents, caregivers, and neurodivergent adults. When you spend so much time looking after others, it is easy to lose sight of yourself. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with who you are beyond the roles, expectations, and demands. You do not need to wait for things to fall apart before reaching for support. You matter too.

Safety, warmth and respect for individual differences are key to my approach.

As my client, you'll benefit from my patience, warmth, sense of humor, and my open-minded, integrative, modern approach to therapy. My day job is with a perinatal counselling service, so I also specialise in supporting people through pregnancy and postpartum.
