About

AboutWhilst it is quite normal to feel and be anxious, stressed, low, worried, angry, guilty, and so many more thoughts and feelings throughout our life, they can sometimes intrude on living our lives to their potential. We may find ourselves feeling unbalanced or overwhelmed. It is sometimes easier to speak with a professional who is outside of our family, friends and usual sources of support to try and address these experiences more fully. As a Clinical Psychologist I can offer a none-judgemental, safe and confidential place to work through these experiences and to facilitate balance and security.

I studied in the UK and have an undergraduate degree in psychology and a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology. I have been employed in public and private work in a wide range of settings including community teams, hospitals and extensive experience working with people individually. I moved to the Sunshine Coast approximately 10 years ago and I am well known locally to many GP’s and medical centres on the Sunshine Coast. I have over 13 years of experiencing working as a Clinical Psychologist and have worked in caring professions most of my adult life. I also have many other working and life experiences that I draw on when I meet with people.

I work across a variety of evidence based therapies, drawing on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness/ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Psychodynamic Theory to inform my practice. All of my training and work experiences are recognised and registered here in Australia.
