I use Interpersonal Therapy, CBT, ACT, DBT and Schema Therapy with a person entered approach to therapy.
I am currently seeing clients in Melbourne and rural Victoria from all walks of life. I love being a psychologist because I am a curious person who enjoys learning about people, while helping them get to know themselves, their strengths and challenges. I try to make therapy safe, effective, enjoyable, emotional and may even get laugh in. I offer affordable sessions online for people in rural Victoria and have experience working with client's in the Mallee and Alpine regions. I also have client's from all over Melbourne, north and south of the river. I am able to travel to see some client's with appropriate NDIS funding.

Welcome to my therapy space! I am particularly interested in helping women overcome perfectionism, people pleasing, self-worth challenges and body dissatisfaction.

I also offer a space where women are able to discuss sexuality and delve into taboo topics, if that is something that they wish to explore.

Drawing on CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, I support you to manage anxiety, navigate change, and reconnect with your strengths.
My ideal client is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or at a crossroads — often after years of being the one others rely on. They may be navigating a life change, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves. They want clarity, emotional support, and practical tools to manage anxiety, build resilience, and reconnect with what matters. Above all, they’re seeking a safe, compassionate space to feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Therapy can be daunting and requires resources such as time, money, and cognitive, physical and emotional capacity to engage.
While diagnostic labels can convey something about your particular challenges, they fail to capture the complexities of your experience—no two people are alike. I will work alongside you to discover what it is that you need to live a fulfilling life, whatever shape that may take. This might involve reducing the impact of symptoms, developing insight into the origins of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour, making sense of past experiences, clarifying what is important to you, and taking action that will lead you in the right direction.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
