A psychoanalytic therapy is based on talking, which purpose is to learn about oneself. The aim is to find your own voice and your own place. The symptom is not deemed as a mistake, but rather a clue to that person's individual truth. This approach aims to give you time to think more deeply about the causes of your symptoms and build your own unique solutions

Hello! I’m Chaille (Shay). I’ve spent most of the last decade living and working overseas away from friends and family, this taught me that there is nothing better than having a person who is your home and who will support you no matter what. I am very analytic and straight forward, but I’m also endlessly compassionate. More than anything, I want you to feel comfortable and safe when working with me. ​As a counsellor, my focus is on increasing quality of life. I help clients process their experiences in an environment of respect, help them feel heard, safe and validated. I offer evidence-based counselling for individuals and couples

I can support adults with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, adjustment, sleep, grief/loss, anger and frustration management issues. I can help you identify your needs and wants and establish achievable goals to improve the quality of your life. In addition I can provide support to adults whom experience high functioning autism spectrum disorder, or adults with intellectual disability or ADHD or a combination.

At Three Hummingbirds Psychology, I aim to offer a safe and nurturing space for children and their families. I feel it is important to meet children where they are at, and firmly believe that there is no one size that fits all. As such, I offer a child-centered approach that focuses strongly on building a connection with you and your child, so that I can better understand the underlying needs and tailor an approach that suits. I enjoy working closely with parents to help them learn about themselves and their child, and through collaboration work towards helping them foster their child's emotional intelligence.

Sessions are bookable online via my website. Do you struggle feeling like you are not a good person, partner, or parent? Are you going through a transitional phase of your life? Is performance anxiety getting in your way of competing? You're not alone! There are times we all feel like we are not enough or just can't get that balance in life but knowing that other people go through it doesn't help. You want action, you want a plan, and steps you can take to make that change. You want someone you can trust and talk to that is not involved or connected. Counsellors do not work with MHP or offer services under Medicare in Australia.
