About Me

Drawing on over 15 years as a clinical psychologist and scientist-practitioner, I guide individuals through mental health challenges. My approach blends rigorous scientific understanding with compassionate, tailored care. We explore evidence-based strategies, ensuring insights translate into tangible daily improvements. This method is ideal for those seeking clear, effective pathways to wellbeing, grounded in extensive experience. Clients appreciate a practical, informed perspective that helps them move forward with confidence.

Approach

Grounded in over twenty years of mental health science, my work translates research into clear, manageable steps we tackle together. From my Melbourne clinic and via online sessions I use structured assessment, short-term experiments and mindfulness practices to help you notice patterns, build skills and test what changes feel useful in daily life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to your needs, with focused reflection and practical tasks between meetings so progress carries through the week. This approach suits people seeking clear, measurable shifts grounded in evidence and compassion.
