I’m a Clinical Psychologist with a background in public mental health and postgraduate training in relational and systemic approaches to therapy.

My clinical background includes work with mood and personality-related difficulties, relational trauma, family systems concerns, and complex statutory settings. That experience shapes how I think about people in context, attending to relationships, history, and the patterns people can find themselves caught in, rather than focusing only on diagnosis or symptoms.

My approach is relational and systemic, with an emphasis on understanding what happens between people, as well as within them. I work with individuals, couples, and families, and tend to pay close attention to the patterns that emerge in relationships, particularly where conversations become tense, repetitive, or difficult to shift.

In practice, this often involves slowing things down and making sense of what is happening as it unfolds. I am interested in what gets communicated and what does not, what each person is reaching for in the interaction, and how familiar ways of relating can continue to shape the present long after they first developed.

At times, this means helping people step back from the immediacy of conflict or distress to better understand what is happening underneath it. The aim is not simply insight, but creating enough space for something different to happen in how people relate to each other and to themselves.

I have completed postgraduate training in family therapy and am an ANZACAT accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) practitioner and supervisor, both of which continue to inform how I work.
