My past clients have often said they feel I am the first person to deeply understand their inner workings; and why they came to be the way they are. Clients report feeling very safe and comfortable in my presence. It is difficult to describe my style as a therapist as it is really defined by the dynamic my client and I create together. Generally speaking, I personally sense there is openness, safety, compassion and curiosity in the room during my sessions. I work at a client’s pace and really encourage my clients to give me open feedback about how they are finding the experience.

Giving it a try is the best way to know. The connection you have with your therapist is super important and the first session really is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. Based on our discussion, we both figure out if we are a good fit and I will provide recommendations for what I think you need to achieve the changes you are seeking. Research shows that a client’s perception of the quality of their relationship with their therapist, rather than a therapist’s experience or treatment approach, is the strongest predictor of successful therapy. I will always check in as to whether you feel connected, comfortable and understood before we proceed with treatment. If you don’t feel aligned with me, please tell me so I can adjust my style and approach for you or provide other recommendations. If you really just don’t feel a click with me, it is absolutely worth trying someone else and I’m even happy to help you find some options.

You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist. You can of course get a referral if you wish to claim medicare rebates.

If your GP has written a Mental Health Care Plan or an Eating Disorder Treatment Plan prior to your first appointment, you are eligible for medicare rebates. See our ‘Prices’ page for more info or reach out to us if you need help understanding the somewhat confusing medicare system

Check out my prices page or email the Client Relations Manager if there is another specific service (such as supervision) for which you want to know the price.

Thankfully, the Government has extended the allowance for medicare rebatable tele-health sessions. I absolutely love seeing my clients in person when it is possible, but there is also the option for a video session if you are unwell or find it suits your schedule better.

Your baby is absolutely welcome at our sessions. In fact, I really like to meet your baby at least once so I can better understand them as an individual and your relationship with them. Some people bring bub to every session, others prefer to leave bub at home as their therapy is time for Please know you are welcome to breastfeed, undertake any type of feeding, settling or nappy changing that has to happen during sessions.
