Autism Psychologists and Therapists in Greater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC
I have a passion working with people to improve their wellbeing and achieve the goals that they set for themselves. I am experienced working with individuals with complex chronic and acute illness and understand the complexities of illness and the impacts this has on a persons mental and emotion state. I also have a large and invested interest in supporting women as they navigate the journey into motherhood (matrescence) and the emotional challenges this can bring along with the change in identity and self. As a mother of 2 young children I understand first hand the day to day challenges being a mother can be.

I understand how exhausting it can feel to navigate a world not built with neurodivergent minds in mind.
I support adults with pre- and post-diagnosis exploration, communication and boundary setting, burnout recovery, workplace difficulties, grief and loss, and life transitions. While my practice centres neurodivergent experience, I also warmly support non- neurodivergent adults seeking collaborative, strengths-based counselling.

We may even end up doing an autism assessment, who knows!
Typically, my clients have tried the traditional methods of therapy that promote coping, but ultimately they feel stuck in a cycle of collapsing, then patching up and soldiering on. They may have received different diagnoses along the way, but nothing seems to quite capture their experience of life. They feel alone and like there is something deeply wrong with them. They struggle with a sense of self, and worry about what others might think of them. They are still hopeful that things can get better, but they don't know how to make it happen.

I help with common challenges like anxiety, low mood, stress, and adjusting to major life changes, as well as more complex concerns including trauma recovery, navigating neurodivergence (i.e ADHD, autism), borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours—focusing on meaningful, lasting change.
I offer a warm, affirming environment where we work toward the changes that matter most to you. I draw on ACT, DBT, CFT, EMDR, and gentle body-based approaches like vagus nerve yoga to support regulation and healing, especially after complex trauma. For children, I adapt these methods into playful, creative activities.

I have had a deep interest in human psychology and behaviour my whole life. I have wanted to make sense of life and help others do the same. I am formally trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, but am perhaps most passionate about ACT. I believe that changing not only our thoughts but also our relationship to our thoughts/minds is a key skiIl all people should learn to not only have more peace in themselves, but to create a better world.

Play based parent child sessions can be really impactful way of helping you connect with your child to work through inner feelings, and process what might be challenging in your relationship. It is often really tough for children to express what's going on for them using words, and this is often why they find ways to communicate with us through their behaviour. This can be a little scary and overwhelming for us as caregivers, who may just be needing things to become a little easier at home.
I also offer EMDR to children and adolescents - allowing young people to safely process their internal needs and worries meaningfully.
