Belinda is a child & adolescent mental health social worker with significant expertise in mental health and trauma therapy. She specialises in supporting young people & their families/carers through a compassionate, evidence-informed approach. Passionate about working from a trauma-informed and neuroaffirming lens, Bel draws on her extensive clinical background, which includes roles as a teacher, a dedicated trauma therapist, and a senior clinician in a neuropsychiatry unit at a leading children’s hospital. Her work is grounded in a nuanced understanding of developmental trauma and mental health challenges.
Belinda is known for her compassionate approach & her ability to interweave EMDR & Play Therapy for children aged 2-18. Most clients seek support regarding: - child sexual assault - school can't (aka: school refusal) - anxiety - depression - phobias - disordered eating - medical trauma/phobia - grief - self-esteem - single event traumas - family separation
If you feel I might be a good fit for your young person or family, I warmly invite you to get in touch. I’d be glad to connect, learn more about your needs, and explore how we might work together to support meaningful growth and positive change.

Many families seek my expertise in integrating EMDR & Play Therapy, however, in the initial sessions we may determine that another approach may be more suitable. We will collaborate together to see if there may be other modalities that can also be utilised. Most of the young people I see report an improvement in their symptoms almost immediately, and sustained improvement thereafter.
