Inner Sydney Psychology, 5 Perry Street Lilyfield, NSW 2040
I'm a warm, approachable psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience across tertiary referral and private practice settings. I quickly build genuine rapport and enjoy helping clients navigate life's challenges, fostering resilience, confidence, and lasting wellbeing. I specialise in supporting children, adolescents, and young adults with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, neurodivergence, social and emotional difficulties, behavioural challenges, adjustment disorders, fears and phobias, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and interpersonal concerns.
Using evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT and systemic therapy, I help clients strengthen emotion regulation, resilience, coping skills and self-efficacy through values-based goals. When working with children, I partner closely with parents to maximise therapeutic outcomes and support lasting change.
I provide a warm, safe and supportive environment where clients can explore triggers, understand their thoughts, emotions and behaviours, and develop practical strategies for lasting change. I also create social stories for neurodivergent children, assist with school support plans, and offer therapy dog support where beneficial.
