I am an experienced clinical social worker, who works therapeutically with individuals, couples and families. I have been practicing for 8 years and I am passionate about promoting self-determined recovery, and advocating for the social inclusion and empowerment of women, girls, non-binary and gender diverse people. I have extensive experience supporting people to manage a variety of challenges across the lifespan including people with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, psychosis, trauma, and neurodiversity. I also work with women who are experiencing disordered eating and body image concerns.
I work in partnership with people who are living with complex mental health concerns, focusing on person-led therapy; allowing space for collaborative solutions and the optimisation of resources to support people to make their own positive and self-directed change.
I draw from a variety of evidence-based interventions including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing and Sensory Modulation, and focus on providing flexible treatment while fostering meaningful engagement.
