Taking the step to seek support is a big decision, and I'm here to make it as comfortable as possible for you. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life. I’ve supported clients as an NDIS psychologist and behaviour specialist, worked with students as a school psychologist, provided outreach services in aged care, and offered private therapy for adults. This diverse background allows me to address a variety of challenges, from anxiety and depression to more complex conditions. I also have a special interest in helping adults with assertive communication and building stronger relationships.

My work focuses on perinatal mental health, including grief and loss, trauma, adjustment to parenthood; supporting children and their caregivers with mental health, parenting, and relational concerns; cultural challenges; and neurodivergence.
Having lived and worked across different cultures and settings, I am mindful of the impact and challenges of navigating cultural dynamics, identity, neurodiversity, and life transitions. My lived experiences of perinatal grief and loss and cultural adjustment shape a sensitive, respectful, and curious approach that honours each person’s unique story.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviours change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).

What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way

What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
