I am a clinical psychologist with more than 10 years of experience working in private practice. People come to therapy with a diverse range of goals and needs that can be very specific or quite broad. By drawing on well established approaches the aim of therapy is to find a way to understand and work together on whatever the concern is. I often start from a psychodynamic approach, but also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Schema Therapy. As part of the assessment process we will discuss what your goals or needs are, as well as agreeing on an approach to treatment.
My qualifications include a Masters in Clinical Psychology and a PhD in Psychology, and I am registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and a member of the The Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (APPi).
Therapy options
At the moment I am only providing telehealth appointments via video or phone.
Over the last 5 years I have offered both in-person and telehealth appointments. Telehealth has increasingly become a option that has been chosen because of convenience or necessity. Experience suggests that telehealth works well for many people. Having, or creating, a space where it is possible to talk in private is important, and finding a routine that allows you to step out of day-to-day life can also make a big difference.
If you would like to explore the possibility of starting therapy, I would really welcome hearing from you. If you have any question you are also very welcome to get in touch.
Services
I can assist you with assessment, therapy and support for a range of mental health concerns. I have experience with a broad range of anxiety and depression based concerns, as well as those that involve trauma - specific and complex. Therapy can also be use to provide support through a difficult time or to assist in maximising potential. I primarily work with adults and older teens.
A standard appointment is 50-60 minutes and the standard fee per appointment is $210. Clients who have a referral (with a Mental Health Plan) from a GP will have $145.25 of this covered by a rebate from Medicare. Please get in touch if you have have any questions about cost.
