I am a Clinical Psychologist and a qualified Nutritionist. I have a passion for helping people find peace and contentment in their lives, free from emotional distress, and for providing clients with the tools they need to support themselves in the future. I have a particular interest in how diet influences mental health. I am open to seeing adults and adolescents with a range of mental health presentations including weight management, eating disorders, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep problems, anger, and psychosomatic complaints.
For over 15 years I have gained experience in a variety of private, government and university settings. I have qualifications from both Cambridge and Oxford Universities as well as the UWA. I am an accredited Clinical Psychologist Supervisor and I have provided supervision to registered and provisional Clinical Psychologists.
I am passionate about providing the highest standards of psychological care to adults and adolescents using evidence-based treatments and more innovative treatments. I foster a warm, non-judgemental, and supportive environment where I tailor my therapy to suit your individual needs. So please, reach out to me. I would love the opportunity to work with you.
