How I Work

I provide individual therapy for clients in a 50 minute session. I work with women over the 12 years years of age :)

I have an office in Coffs Harbour where you are welcome to attend in person or you can complete your sessions online if you prefer.

I can assist with anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, self esteem issues, confidence, personality disorders (BPD), peri/post natal depression and anxiety, and adjustment disorders.

I predominantly use CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, problem solving, skills training and DBT therapies, with aspects of ACT and relaxation training.

FAQ’s

  • I work with kids aged 5 -12 years, and women over 12 years old. I can assist with working through anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, confidence, personality disorders (BPD), ASD (though I don’t provide diagnostic services for this or ADHD), ADHD, and adjustment disorders.

  • I predominantly use CBT, Mindfulness, motivational interviewing, problem solving, skills training and DBT therapies, with aspects of ACT and relaxation training.

  • I have completed a Bachelor in Psychology, as well as a Masters in Clinical Psychology. I have also completed post graduate units in Nutrition, and courses on DBT, Eating Disorders and BPD.

  • You can complete your session in person (in Coffs Harbour) or online. I recommend attending in person where possible as face to face but it is up to you.

  • The current fees are:

    $235 for a standard session

    $215 for a health care card holder

    You will be eligible for a rebate of $145.15 from medicare if you have a referral and Mental Health Care Plan from your GP. You can contact me for more information about this if you aren’t sure.

  • Unfortunately I do not do assessments at this time. This may change in the future.

  • I am not specialised in Court reports or assessment so I do not provide this service. If someone unexpectedly needs to attend court I will sometimes write a letter for them, however this is not a specialised Court report or assessment.

  • Because I am often in session with clients, the best form of contact is through email or text message, as then I can respond when I am out of session. You can find my contact details above. I will endeavour to get back to you within 2 working days.

  • Appointments need to be canceled with at least 48 hours notice.

    It is not my preferred option to invoice for missed appointments or late cancellations, but in fairness to others on the wait list, and the acknowledgement of my time, notice is required or the full fee will be charged. Please be aware that this fee will not be rebated by Medicare, as medicare will only pay for appointments that are attended.

    If on the day you realise that for some reason you cannot in attend in person, you are very welcome to complete your session by phone or internet. This also will avoid any late fee, and means you can still attend your session.
