I’m Lizzie, a psychologist and a member of the Australian Psychological Society. I collaboratively work with adults who are experiencing chronic conditions and/or disability to explore the connection between physical and mental well-being. Within this space, my interest areas are quite broad and include mood, health, trauma, and neurodivergence. Originally from a rural Victorian town, I aim to bring a jargon-free and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I continue to be passionate about learning from, and growing my understanding of, client experiences and making psychological knowledge and skills as accessible as possible.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT), and I also draw from other modalities such as ACT, DBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and schema therapy.
In my practice as a clinical psychologist, I have a warm and relaxed therapeutic style. I aim to create a space where you feel at-ease and understood. I’m curious about your experiences and what makes you, you. I will meet you wherever you’re at, and we’ll collaborate to understand the beliefs, or patterns that might be holding you back. Together, we’ll find ways to help you live a more fulfilling life, or even just reflect and learn more about yourself, and hopefully incorporate some humour along the way.

I draw from a range of therapeutic interventions and modalities such as CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Schema Therapy, mindfulness and positive psychology.
I know how challenging it can be to reach out for support, but taking the first step towards improving your mental health can be a catalyst for change. I want to help you make positive changes that make your life feel rich and meaningful; helping you live a life that feels authentic and aligns with your values and who you want to be. Together we can explore and work through issues relating to anxiety, depression, ADHD (and diagnosis), rumination, struggles with life transitions, work stress, study stress, relationship issues, loss of direction, uncertainty about careers or life trajectories, and addiction (such as gambling).

I draw on EMDR, ACT, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy, adapting these to suit your goals and needs.
Life can feel overwhelming and at times we need extra support. You might be dealing with anxiety, low mood, trauma, burnout, ADHD, or just feeling stuck. Maybe you're looking to understand yourself better, cope more effectively, or find a bit more peace. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what's going on. You don’t have to go through it alone. If you're looking for a safe, supportive space to explore things at your pace, I offer online psychology sessions for adults across Australia, and in-person sessions in Elwood VIC.

You might be finding that some parts of life feel demanding or draining, especially in spaces that don’t always align with how you think, feel, and respond. You may notice feelings of worry, emotional heaviness, or self-doubt that have developed over time, often in response to being misunderstood or feeling the need to adapt yourself to fit in. You might feel worn down by high expectations, hesitant to try new things, or preoccupied with how you’re coming across to others. At times, you may feel stuck or held back by long-standing self-criticism or negative beliefs.

I offer neurodiversity-affirming, evidence-based therapy, including CBT, ACT, ERP for OCD, EMDR, and mindfulness.
You might be a young person or adult feeling stuck with anxiety, OCD, trauma, or big emotional reactions, and wondering why previous support hasn’t quite fit. You may also be questioning whether autism or ADHD helps explain experiences you’ve struggled to put into words, particularly if you’ve learned to mask or cope quietly. If you’re a parent, you might be searching for a psychologist who can support your adolescent (10+) with anxiety, emotional regulation, school stress, or neurodivergence - someone who understands that strengths and challenges often coexist, and that behaviour is rarely “just behaviour”.

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.
