Our Team
I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Neuropsychologist with over 20 years of experience working across a wide range of clinical settings. I work with adults seeking therapy, assessment, or help making sense of cognitive, emotional, or behavioural difficulties. I aim to bring both a depth of knowledge and a down-to-earth, human approach to that work.
I aim to be direct, friendly, and easy to talk to. I take my work seriously, but I don’t believe therapy or assessment has to feel stiff, overly formal, or impersonal. My style is thoughtful, collaborative, and practical. I want people to feel comfortable enough to speak openly, think clearly, and feel that we are working on something together. Where it fits, I think it’s perfectly possible to have a laugh along the way too.
As a Clinical Psychologist, I’ve worked with a broad range of presenting issues over many years. This includes anxiety, stress, addictions, depression, and the kinds of personal, emotional, or relational struggles that can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves. While therapy can be a place to reduce distress, it can also help you to better understand yourself, make sense of longstanding patterns, and work out what needs to change. My aim is to provide a space that feels steady, respectful, and perhaps most importantly, useful. Somewhere you can put the noise of daily life aside for a while and focus on what is really going on.
As a Clinical Neuropsychologist, I provide assessment and support in relation to a range of cognitive and neurological concerns. This includes neuropsychological assessment following brain injury, assessment of dementia and cognitive change, and assessment and support around adult ADHD and other learning-related difficulties. I’ve worked across outpatient services and in tertiary education, and I have a longstanding interest in the relationship between brain function, mental health, and everyday functioning.
I’ve also conducted research into the effects of alcohol and other drugs on brain functioning and recovery. That work has given me a particular interest in the overlap between substance use, cognition, and psychological wellbeing, and it continues to inform the way I think about assessment, formulation, and treatment planning for people with those concerns.
What I value most in practice is being able to bring these areas of expertise together. I am often thinking not just about symptoms in isolation, but about the broader picture, how someone thinks, feels, functions, copes, and makes sense of what is happening in their life. For many people, that broader perspective is an important part of feeling properly understood and receiving help that is both thoughtful and practical.
Alongside my clinical work, I have been actively involved in teaching, supervision, and professional leadership for many years. I currently serve as President of the Australian Psychological Society and contribute to several national committees and expert advisory groups in the mental health field. I have also held teaching and supervisory roles through the University of Western Australia, Murdoch University, and Next Step/Drug and Alcohol Youth Service. While that broader work is important to me, the heart of what I do remains the same: helping people think clearly about what’s going on, and working with them toward meaningful change.
Supervision and Consultancy
I also provide supervision and consultancy to psychologists, registrars, and other clinicians who are looking for a thoughtful and experienced sounding board for their work. My supervision style is supportive, practical, and reflective. I enjoy helping clinicians build confidence, sharpen their formulation skills, think through complexity, and develop their own professional judgement and voice.
Whether the focus is clinical work, ethical decision-making, professional development, or navigating more complex presentations, I aim to offer supervision that is both grounded and useful. If you are looking for supervision or consultancy, you are very welcome to get in touch.
