Understanding the Person Behind the Role
People are more than the roles they perform or the responsibilities they carry.
My approach combines evidence-based psychological care with more than 20 years of experience working alongside first responders, emergency services and people in demanding professional roles. Together, we will work to understand your experiences, build on your strengths and help you move towards the life you want to lead.

Overwhelmed by the demands and responsibilities you carry.
My Approach
You don’t have to keep carrying it alone.
Many people become so accustomed to managing, coping and looking after others that they lose sight of their own needs. Life can place enormous demands on us, and over time those demands can begin to affect our wellbeing, relationships and sense of self. Therapy offers a confidential, supportive space to pause, make sense of your experiences and develop practical strategies, while building on the strengths and resilience you already possess.
Whether you've been affected by cumulative workplace stress, burnout, trauma, or significant life changes, you don't have to navigate it on your own. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience working alongside first responders and people in demanding roles, I provide evidence-based psychological care that is practical, collaborative and tailored to your individual needs.
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. Many of the people I work with are capable, resilient individuals who have been carrying more than most people realise. Whatever has brought you here, you'll be met with compassion, respect and evidence-based care. Together, we'll work to understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and help you reconnect with the life that matters most to you.

I work with adults experiencing a range of life challenges, including stress, burnout, trauma-related experiences, workplace challenges, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, identity changes, and difficulties adjusting to significant change.
I also have extensive experience supporting people in high-responsibility roles, including frontline and emergency services personnel and professionals working in demanding environments.
-
Yes! My experience includes embedded psychological roles within the Australian Federal Police, Queensland Ambulance Service, Victoria Police and the Queensland Police Service.
Having worked within operational environments, I understand that the experiences of frontline and emergency service personnel are shaped not only by the events they attend, but also by the culture, values, expectations and responsibilities that come with these roles. I understand the importance of trust, confidentiality and authenticity when supporting people who work in these environments.
Supporting first responders and those who serve others has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding aspects of my professional journey.
