Hi, I'm Alicia. I am passionate about providing specialist mental health support. I have worked with children, adults and families experiencing a diverse range of difficulties including; anxiety, depression, family violence, relationship difficulties/breakdowns, personality disorders, complex trauma/trauma, disordered eating, low self-esteem and substance misuse. I have a special interest in working with teens and young adults. I believe in developing respectful, authentic and open-minded relationships with each person I work with. My approach is inclusive, relaxed and when appropriate humorous and playful.

FACT IS: "It's not a matter of IF life will throw obstacles and hurdles at you... it's WHEN." For 20 years I have been counselling people from all walks of life (CEOs, surgeons and psychologists through to miners, call centre staff, managers and cleaners). And what I've noticed is how many people struggle with their relationships - that could be the relationship with their partner, their child, their parents, their co-workers, their mates or the biggest and most important relationship of them all... THEMSELVES! Now, they don't always know it's their relationship at first, because it might look like stress, conflict, anxiety, etc.

If you have experienced trauma or difficulties in your life and you are seeking ways to restore your sense of self, by developing your self-awareness and showing up in your life with zest and vitality then we could be a great fit. Whether you are seeking personal growth or professional development I am passionate about supporting and challenging beliefs that keep us stuck in old patterns and that no longer serve us. I weave my scientific knowledge from evidence-based theories that focus on regulating emotions and developing practical tools to become psychologically flexible.

I work with couples experiencing relationship distress who would like to explore repairing and reconnecting their relationship, develop better communication skills and learn to manage conflict in a more positive way and find that they need some help in achieving these goals.

Hi, I'm Wendy and I have immediate availability to see clients. I am happy to discuss Medicare Bulk Billing and Low Gap Fees for Health Care Card Holders, Low Income Earners and anyone else who might not be unable to afford to prioritise their mental health because they are struggling with financial pressures. At any moment in life, any one of us can find ourselves in a situation where we find that life’s challenges seem insurmountable, and we feel we can’t bend too much more before we break. My passion as a psychologist is to support my clients as together, we learn about their incredible capacity for resilience and hope.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and typically work with adults (16+ years) for long term therapy, and I work from a psychodynamic framework. I also practice short-term, solution focused, insight driven therapy if time is limited. I’m this approach the emphasis of treatment is about working to understanding the roots of the problem, not just dealing with the symptoms. This leads to lasting change.

It's exhausting to keep trying to act like you've got it all together, all the time. Perhaps you feel like you've just been surviving through life, yet never really thriving? Perhaps you've been through traumatic life events, illnesses, cycles of break ups and burn outs, and even experiences of therapy that felt like it helped at the time but the gains quickly dissolved as life's general chaos crept back in. I'd like to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your struggles and together we will safely 'untangle' the knots that keep you stuck. www.timetountangle.com.au

Are your emotions telling you something is up? Depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol use could be a sign that some things in your life just aren't where you'd like them to be. Maybe a relationship is unfulfilling or in conflict. Perhaps someone close is using family violence or narcissistic abuse. Perhaps you have lost someone close.

Sometimes, we find ourselves facing challenges that are bigger than we are able to understand or navigate on our own. The therapeutic process can help you to make sense of, adapt to, and heal from difficult life experiences. Therapy can also be a reflective space to get clearer on your values and directions in life; to connect with your innermost wishes for your future and bring these into being. I am committed to collaborating with you to figure out the best approach for you, based on your particular situation.
