Psychological Assistance
Building momentum towards healthier, more resilient relationships with the aid of a mental health professional has the power to make a profound impact on your life’s direction.
Let’s embark on a journey to strengthen your relationship and enrich your life. Through tailored skills and strategies, I aim to empower you to navigate challenges effectively. My focus lies in fostering healthy couple and family dynamics, addressing your well-being.
It’s natural for intimate relationships to experience fluctuations, potentially leading to challenging issues that can be overwhelming to tackle alone.
Family connections are intricate, multifaceted, and rich with layers. When diverse perspectives, goals, behaviours, and interactions intersect, they can cause complex dynamics that might impede overall happiness and wellness.
Amidst the changes and growth within families, there’s a blend of positivity and adversity. Navigating the complexities of blended family dynamics requires a tailored and sensitive approach to address the distinct challenges they present
At first, being involved with a narcissist may feel thrilling and full of excitement. However, once their lack of genuine concern becomes apparent, these relationships can quickly sour, taking a turn for the worse.
Various factors unique to same-sex couples need a comprehensive approach from a skilled professional who understands their specific needs.
Issues in the working environment, such as intimidation or harassment, can be extremely difficult to cope with due to the complex nature of the situation. Professional support may make a significant difference.

Are online consultations available?
Yes, I do provide online consultations using Zoom and Phone sessions. Ideally, I prefer to have had an initial in-person meeting or two with clients before moving to online sessions. However, it’s important to note that some interventions, especially those designed for couples, may be more challenging to conduct effectively in an online format.
Are there any rebates offered for our session?
If your Private Health Insurance includes Extras for Psychology, you might be entitled to claim a rebate from your Health Fund. Since coverage can differ based on policies and levels, it’s recommended to confirm the specifics directly with your Health Fund.
Medicare offers rebates for individuals, not couples, under a Mental Health Plan which is to be written by your GP. A Mental Health Plan has a shelf life of 12 months and during that period, you are entitled to 10 sessions assigned by your GP as 6 sessions, initially, and another 4 sessions following a review consult.
For additional information on available rebates, please refer to this link.
Will our sessions be treated with confidentiality?
Your privacy is our priority, and confidentiality is upheld throughout our sessions. Psychologists are bound by professional standards and legal obligations to maintain confidentiality, with exceptions only in cases of court subpoenas or when there’s a genuine risk of harm to you or others, necessitating mandated reporting.
Psychologists are mandated reporters according to the Firearms Regulations 2017. This means we’re obligated to report any suspected firearm-related injuries or unsafe firearm situations.
Psychologists are mandated reporters and must report any reasonable suspicion of harm to a child or young person.

What should I expect from the first appointment?
Upon arrival, you’ll be requested to fill out an intake form in the waiting room. During the first session, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your concerns while I offer gentle guidance to help discuss any issues. You’ll also have a chance to assess my interpersonal style and determine if it aligns with your preferences. Typically, the intake process spans two sessions, and in the initial session, my goal is to provide attentive listening and support.
What is your cancellation policy?
Our cancellation policy mandates a minimum of 48 business hours notice to facilitate scheduling adjustments for other clients. Cancellations made less than 48 business hours prior to the appointment or non-attendance will incur full fees. Further information on our cancellation policy can be found here.

The Gottman Approach
Taking different approaches when working to improve certain issues is important to cater for the specific needs of an individual or couple. One such technique that I implement is known as the Gottman Method.
This method of couples therapy and marriage counselling centres on three relationship profiles: the friendship profile, the conflict profile, and the shared meanings profile.
The interventions provided are personalised to target the specific strengths and weaknesses of a couple’s relationship within these profiles. Key areas of focus include addressing perpetual issues, resolving solvable problems, and improving conflict resolution and communication strategies.
Do you find it difficult to cope with…?
Anger, though a common human emotion, can pose issues when handled destructively. Developing an understanding of your anger is pivotal to its control. Recognise triggers, heed warning signs, and adopt coping mechanisms to effectively manage them.
Continuous worry or intrusive thoughts that disrupt everyday functioning define ongoing anxiety. While experiencing occasional anxiety is natural, when it becomes prolonged or unmanageable, it surpasses regular responses to life’s challenges.
When your behaviour raises concerns among yourself or your loved ones and begins to detrimentally affect your life, pursuing personalised treatment can provide the support needed to address these challenges effectively.
Compulsions can have a profound impact on daily functioning, warranting attention.
While it’s common to have moments of feeling down, depression involves enduring feelings of sadness. If left unchecked, persistent depression can develop into a debilitating mental health disorder.
If you’re grappling with symptoms such as low energy, loss of interest in activities you typically enjoy, or a tendency to withdraw from social interactions, seeking support for a potential depressive disorder could be beneficial.
Stress is often associated with sensations of tension and apprehension, serving as a transient experience that may have adaptive qualities despite its discomfort. Nevertheless, when stress reaches harmful levels and starts to disrupt your capacity to function optimally, it demands focused strategies and coping mechanisms.
The occurrence of highly frightening or threatening events can lead to psychological scars. Traumatic experiences wield considerable influence, often revealing themselves through physical, behavioural, emotional, or cognitive indicators linked to trauma-related concerns.
Obsessive thinking frequently accompanies repetitive behaviours or rituals aimed at alleviating the anxiety linked to those thoughts. Addressing this intricate issue is often most effective with the guidance of qualified and experienced professionals.
Issues such as insecure attachment, dismissive-avoidant attachment, fearful-avoidant attachment, and anxious-preoccupied attachment typically warrant thorough professional intervention.
Educate yourself on insecure attachment patterns and adopt behaviours that promote secure attachment interactions.
