About Me
I consider it a privilege to assist individuals during challenging periods in their lives, aiming to alleviate psychological distress and foster a meaningful and purposeful life.
​
During our sessions, I employ a combination of supportive exploration, psychological strategies, and evidence-based techniques. Together, we will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and circumstances. My approach is person centred.
​
I completed a Masters in Clinical Psychology and my experience spans both public and private mental health settings delivering individual and group therapy. With a young family, I have stepped into working solely in a private practice setting. I have been providing psychological services for over six years.

Offering Therapy for Adults
Grace can provide support for all adult mental health concerns. That said, some areas of interest include:
Are you experiencing persistent worries, intrusive thoughts, frequent panic, an overwhelming sense of dread, and constant preoccupation with your own mind? Working together, we can delve into effective strategies to soothe your nervous system and create distance from distressing thoughts.
Depression
Research suggests that one in five Australian adults experienced a mental health disorder in the last 12 months (Australian Institute of Health and Wellness). If you are currently facing symptoms such as low mood, lack of motivation, numbness, or a general absence of joy in your daily life, lets work together to create a stronger sense of purpose and connectedness.
Anxiety
Trauma
Trauma frequently underlies various mental health conditions. Our primary objective is to facilitate your healing by calming the nervous system and reshaping the meaning associated with the distressing experiences so that you can move forward without the legacy of the past. I have received training in evidence-based trauma therapies, most notably Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Relationship Patterns
Do you notice persistent and pervasive unhelpful patterns in your relationships? Perhaps patterns that used to be effective for you, but are now hindering your progress and keeping you stuck. During the course of therapy, we can heighten awareness regarding these patterns, with the aim of shifting them so that you can experience more gratifying and enduring relationships.
Emotion Regulation
It is commonly reported that individuals often feel as though their emotions escalate rapidly, going from 0 to 100 in no time. This phenomenon may be attributed to the lack of a safe space where we are allowed to truly experience and process our emotions. During the course of treatment, we can cultivate greater awareness and acceptance of our emotional journey, rather than instinctively pushing it away.
Safety
If any mental health concern is causing you to experience thoughts relating to harm, please know that help is available and you will not feel this way forever. It is temporary. We will first and foremost create a plan to keep you safe and then develop a shared formulation around what caused you to feel this way.
Contact Grace
Extensive research spanning several decades has consistently highlighted the significance of the therapeutic relationship between client and psychologist in achieving positive therapy outcomes. Bearing this in mind, I encourage you to seek out a psychologist who feels like the right fit. If you believe that we could work well together, I look forward to hearing from you.
