Clients often come to me feeling stuck in anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelmed by past experiences. Many struggle with performance anxiety, social anxiety, or confidence issues that affect school, work, relationships, or public speaking. I work with people who are ready to go beyond talk therapy to overcome their challenges and create opportunities. Using a trauma-informed, brain-body approach, including techniques such as Brainspotting and EFT tapping, I help teens and adults regulate their nervous system, process underlying experiences, and build lasting confidence so they can move forward with greater ease.

I offer evidence-based therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Many clients come to therapy experiencing anxiety, the impact of past experiences, or difficulties in relationships, and are looking for a space to better understand themselves and what’s been happening in their lives. Together, we work to make sense of these patterns, develop a clearer understanding of your experiences, and find ways of responding that feel more manageable and aligned with what matters to you.

Hi, I’m Amy. I understand how exhausting it can feel to navigate a world not built with neurodivergent minds in mind. Masking, burnout, workplace challenges, grief, or the uncertainty of exploring Autism, ADHD, or other forms of neurodivergence can leave you feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I bring both lived experience, warmth and professional expertise to create a safe, affirming space. My approach is neuroaffirming, sensory-aware, and flexible, tailored to your needs, preferences, and pace. Together we can explore identity, build self-compassion, strengthen relationships, and develop practical strategies.

I believe that successful outcomes in therapy can only be achieved if there is trust between the client and the therapist. The counselling relationship therefore is crucial to any progress that is made or not made. I would like to add that I am also an AHPRA board approved supervisor and willing to supervise Psychologists at all levels in their respective roles

Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by trauma memories, attention and planning struggles, or the weight of perfectionism. They want calmer nights, steadier emotions, and practical tools that actually fit real life. Some prefer therapy in Cantonese or Mandarin. They’re not looking for quick fixes—they want a pace that feels safe, clear steps, and a therapist who explains the why behind each step.
