I support clients impacted by sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse (CSA) in children as young as five, and perinatal mental health.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working across various mental health services, providing support to both adults and adolescents. This experience has given me valuable insight into how trauma manifests and affects individuals at different stages of life.

I particularly like working with children, young people and women are experiencing relationship difficulties, whether that be with a partner, school relationships or parents.
I use various techniques with children and young people to help them express themselves, using animals, drawing, stories and acting out situations. With parents, I often refer to the Circle of Security training I have learnt, parent- child interaction therapy and other ways to develop a secure attachment.

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Subiaco, WA provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Subiaco build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
