About Me

I started my journey in psychology passionate about working with people to create meaningful change using a strengths-based and neuro-affirming approach. 

​

My therapy approach emphasises compassion for your story. Therapy is approached with warmth, curiosity, and respect, creating a space where experiences can be explored openly and without judgement. A strong belief is held in the value of feeling heard and understood, and in the capacity for growth. 

​

I moved to Newcastle in 2022 with full registration as a general psychologist, moving into private practice after working for not-for-profit organisations. I have since completed extensive EMDR training. However, I have training in other evidence-based approaches so that therapy can be tailored to individual needs, with a focus on building insight, strengthening coping strategies, and supporting a greater sense of balance and connection. 

​

I also incorporate a “parts work” approach, which recognises that different aspects of the self can hold different thoughts, emotions, and roles. Through gentle exploration, space is created to understand and work with these parts in a compassionate and non-judgemental way. This process supports greater self-awareness, integration, and a more balanced and connected sense of self.

Outside of being a psychologist, I enjoy reading, gaming, going to the beach, exercise, spending time with my loved ones and my cat (Misty).​​
