Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Psychologists and Therapists in Bulimba, QLD
I combine compassionate listening with practical tools and structured, evidence-based therapies including ACT, CBT and EMDR.
With over 20 years’ experience, I work with adults navigating anxiety, the aftermath of difficult or toxic relationships, trauma, emotional burnout, and stress-related challenges — including workplace and WorkCover presentations. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or exhausted from holding everything together. Often, our responses make sense in the context of what we’ve experienced. Together, we explore the “why” beneath those patterns and begin making meaningful behavioural and cognitive changes that support healthier outcomes.

Hi there, I’m a psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and clinical mental health therapist (social work) offering both in-person sessions in Bulimba and online. I believe therapy begins with connection.

It’s from that place that feeling truly supported, nurtured, empowered and more connected to yourself can begin.
If you're looking for someone who brings genuine presence, curiosity, and the ability to sit with your vulnerability, strengths, and complexity with care, then you're in the right place.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who supports adults and older adults through the changes that come with ageing, illness and life transitions.
I have 7 years of university training and 14 years working with people whose inner worlds have become affected by uncertainty, anxiety & low mood. Many people I see are adjusting to a sudden change in their health or uncertainty regarding their future due to ill-health, burnout or reduced wellbeing. My career spans hospital and private practice settings where I developed my passion for the psychological wellbeing of older persons (65+) and persons adjusting to health conditions.

I work with adults who are successful, capable, and often the person everyone else relies on, yet inside they feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or at a crossroads. Many are navigating relationship challenges, burnout, grief, major life transitions, or repeating patterns they no longer want to carry. They are looking for more than symptom management—they want a deeper understanding of themselves and meaningful, lasting change.

Couples Therapy? Stuck repeating the same communication patterns? Whether you’re feeling anxious, disconnected, or stuck in cycles that never resolve, I help individuals and couples understand their communication style, improve emotional connection, and build relationships that feel steady, supportive, and secure.
I work with clients who are high-functioning in life but privately struggling — people who appear capable and composed yet feel unseen, over, overwhelmed, or caught in communication habits that create distance or conflict.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT and more, tailoring therapy to you.
You might look like you're coping on the outside, while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out or stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. Perhaps relationships feel harder than they should, past experiences are still affecting you, or you've reached a point where you know something needs to change. I work with adults who want more than just someone to listen - they want to understand what is happening, develop practical strategies and create meaningful, lasting change.

My approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and attachment-informed, trauma-aware practice.
Maybe you've learned to copy others, rehearse conversations, or perform "fine" until you get home. Maybe certain sounds, lights or social settings leave you needing real time to recover. Maybe you've been told you're "too intense" or "hard to read", and you've started to wonder whether there's more to the story. I work with adults who look like they're coping on the outside but are privately exhausted by how much it takes. You're welcome here whether you're autistic, ADHD, questioning, or simply tired of feeling like somethings wrong.

I predominantly work with LGBTQIA+ individuals across a range of concerns, with a particular focus on high-functioning anxiety — including perfectionists, high-achievers, people-pleasers and self-sacrificers who are used to coping well on the outside while struggling underneath. I also work with couples experiencing conflict, disconnection or recurring patterns of pursuing and withdrawing, helping them develop a more secure and connected relationship. All of which is grounded in compassion, respect and a pace that balances your autonomy with my professional guidance.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
