Many of my clients have had psychiatric diagnosis; ASD L2, (C) PTSD, BPD, ADHD.
I offer talking and body-mindfulness based therapies to build a stronger sense of self connection. What this means will be different for everybody. For some it may mean processing past Traumas, for others it may be help in finding oneself in the muddle of unsatisfactory relationships, mental health problems or addictions.

Hello! I provide psychological assessments for diagnosis and functional capacity, rather than ongoing therapy. I've worked in the NDIS space for many years completing Functional Capacity Assessments, as well as assessments for schools, Centrelink, NDIS, and private purposes. I don't prescribe medication, but can liaise with your GP or psychiatrist if needed. I travel across South East Queensland and can meet at your home or another comfortable location. Appointments are usually available within 7–10 days, with reports provided within 2–3 business days after assessment. I work with people 3 years and older.

My ideal clients are adults carrying the impact of trauma, narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships, or ongoing anxiety and relational or workplace stress. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or triggered by patterns you can’t quite shift alone. I help people make sense of what’s happening, strengthen boundaries, regulate emotions, and find a sense of self. This means a better daily life and healthier relationships I love working with other people who help people: health professionals, teachers, parents, and first responders too.

Often in today's world, we get caught up in so many distractions on the outside that we are not always aware of our internal experiences. We walk around anxious and depressed, with critical thoughts of ourselves and others, and often live a reality that is separate from our own personal wishes and desires. I believe that therapy provides a safe space to step away from all the external distractions and focus on identifying and responding to our emotional world in the most open and connected way, which may have been too painful to do in the past.

What we label as harsh self-criticism, addiction, perfectionism, depression, mood disorders, or anxiety can be understood in a different light. These aren't signs of weakness or flaws. Rather: protective patterns. They reflect the mind’s effort to cope, to endure, and to keep going under strain. Trauma is not always a single, defining event. More often, it is shaped slowly through repeated experiences of overwhelm and a lack of control. It can grow in environments where love felt uncertain, criticism was frequent, expectations were high, or where caregivers were struggling themselves. I help people who carry similar patterns.

People may seek therapy when the impact of life’s demands, past experiences, or protective patterns starts to exceed capacity, and that strain shows up as disconnection—potentially from purpose, from the body, or from relationships. You may be carrying the effects of painful or overwhelming experiences that still shape how you feel and relate today. Reaching out is a significant step, and you don’t have to work out the next ones alone. I offer compassionate, collaborative therapy informed by years of clinical experience, extensive training, and my work as a facilitator and trainer with the Blue Knot Foundation.

My areas of interest include ADHD, Autism, Borderline ( BPD), trauma and attachment.
I like to connect with clients on a genuine “real person” level with a flexible approach and a sense of humour. I have a unique perspective both as a neurodivergent individual and as a parent to two neurodivergent children (both now adults). It helps me to really understand - not just in a ‘textbook’ kind of way.

Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists
What is the most successful approach to treating borderline personality disorder?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is considered the gold standard of treatment for borderline personality disorder. An evidence-based treatment, it addresses the extreme emotional reactivity, the relationship difficulties, and the acts of self-harm that create so much distress for BPD patients. DBT is a comprehensive program that includes both regular individual psychotherapy sessions and weekly group sessions of skills training.

What happens in treatment of borderline personality disorder?
Treatment typically consists of weekly individual therapy sessions that last an hour and group skill-focused instructional sessions that may last up to two hours. Patients are typically given homework “assignments” in which they are asked to practice in their daily life the skills they acquire in therapy. Patients also keep a diary tracking their emotions and impulses as a way to know which situations are most problematic and to help them gain control over their own behavior. Difficult situations and feelings are typically reviewed in therapy sessions and more constructive solutions found.

What kinds of problems does BPD treatment help with?
DBT was initially developed to dampen the self-destructive impulses of chronically suicidal patients. It is now the treatment of choice for borderline personality disorder, a serious condition marked by extreme emotional reactivity, relationship instability, and self-injurious behaviors. Treatment of BPD helps patients tolerate the flux of emotions without acting on them, often with a specific focus on tolerating negative emotions. DBT addresses the core problems of BPD—fear of abandonment, low self-esteem, and impulsivity.

What is the goal of treatment in borderline personality disorder?
The goal of treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is to relieve the extreme emotional distress that patients experience—to curb their emotional reactivity, to minimize their inclination to self-harm, and to reduce their impulsivity. Toward these ends, patients are not only taught an array of new coping skills and techniques for emotional regulation, they are given opportunities to practice them. Another major goal of treatment is interpersonal effectiveness; patients learn and problem-solve ways to effectively communicate in relationships, especially how to ask for what they need as a way to minimize hurt feelings.
