I created Discern Psychology to provide a safe and respectful space for women to pause, reflect and explore new ways of how they want to be present in the world. I believe that to ‘discern’ in the therapeutic context means to recognise what matters to you, what no longer serves you and what direction feels right for you. I would love to support you to gain clarity, practical tools and a stronger sense of the person you want to be. My special interest areas include parenting and perinatal mental health, relationships, self worth, culture, identity, life transitions, work/career, stress and burnout.
I have experience in private practice, public mental health services and academic research. I have been in the field for over a decade, supporting children, adolescents and adults in Australia and New Zealand through various behavioural, emotional and psychological challenges. I am also a trained Circle of Security group facilitator and COPE practitioner.
My style is authentic, compassionate and collaborative. I’m here to help you draw upon your own strengths, values, lived experience and wisdom to bring awareness to what you already know are the right decisions for yourself. My aim with each session is to empower you with a new skill or strategy to try or a new question or insight to reflect on.
