Denton Clinical Psychology
Psychologist, PsychD, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Serves Area
I offer therapy to adults most often for depression, anxiety, trauma or relationship difficulties.
I'm a firm believer that everyone could benefit from seeing a psychologist. We may not think twice about seeing GPs, physios, optometrists etc, all of which are important. But so is our psychological and emotional health. Whether you are facing a mental illness, going through a tough season of life, or wanting to learn how to optimise your relationships, please reach out. It is a privilege to be invited into your personal world so that you can be truly heard and seen. Therapy can help you gain insight and make changes that perhaps have been too hard to face until now. All of this will be at your own pace and questions are welcome.

Sometimes, we just feel stuck—whether it’s anxious thoughts holding us back or low moods draining our energy and motivation.
I’ve supported many clients through depression, anxiety, difficult childhood experiences, work-related stress, and negative self-beliefs. Together, we’ve worked to understand self-critical thoughts and uncover the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. I also work with couples to break out of unhelpful cycles and rebuild closeness in their relationships.

Psychologist, MPsych, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Serves Area
You may recognise the need for a safe and nurturing space to express your fears and your perceived failings, to unpack the pain of the past and to face the challenges ahead.
As an overachiever you find yourself stressed and overwhelmed. You know it's important to practice self-care but increasingly you have found your mental health slipping. You're on the proverbial hamster wheel, burned out, feeling you've lost the capacity to meet the demands of competing roles at home and in the workplace. I am passionate about working with people in demanding work roles, be they professionals, entrepreneurs, or first responders. I also find deep value in working with clients who have identified the impact of the emotional trauma of their childhood in their current relationships and personal endeavours.

Anxiety Therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
