Registered Psychologist (MAPS)

Whether you're new to therapy or continuing your journey, I'm glad you're here.

I am a Psychologist, EMDR therapist, introvert and best friend to every cat I meet.

Being Human Psychology is my way of creating a space where you can feel safe to explore all the complexities – the beautiful and the messy – of what it means to be human, and to show up exactly as you are.

Feeling frazzled or stuck?

You don't have to navigate this alone. I see you as the expert of your own experience, and I'm here to walk with you. Together, we'll explore what's important to you and find solutions that truly support your growth.

My approach focuses on:

  • Understanding your unique story: I'm genuinely curious about your experiences and what makes you, well, you.

  • Uncovering the root causes: We’ll dig deeper to ensure long lasting change.

  • Creating a safe and supportive space: I aim for therapy to be a safe space for learning and unlearning. A space of support and challenge, where you don’t have to be anyone but yourself.

  • Finding what works best for you: I use a variety of approaches, so we can tailor our sessions to your specific needs and preferences.

  • Helping you grow: I'll gently encourage you to reflect on your experiences and challenge you to both learn and unlearn to grow towards greater self-understanding and a more fulfilling life.

I'm here to support you as you navigate this messy world. Let's connect and see how I can help you feel more like yourself.

Personal FAQs

  • To become a psychologist I studied for 6 years. This included an undergraduate degree at Monash University, post graduate studies at The Cairnmillar Institute and an internship year under supervision. Since completing my studies I have become a Board Approved Supervisor, and EMDR trained therapist.

    In true psychology nerd style, I will be returning to uni in 2025 to study a Master of Clinical Psychology so watch this space.

  • I have been practicing as a Psychologist for 7 years. I started working in the criminal justice system, as well as spending some time as a school psychologist (absolute polar opposites or what!). During the COVID years I split my time between the criminal justice system, community mental health services and private practice.

    In 2023 I decided to open my solo practice, Being Human Psychology, and haven’t looked back.

  • Anything that your grandmother enjoys as a hobby, you can assume that I do, as well. I spend my weekends pottering around the house, bird-watching/animal spotting, baking, feeling warm sunshine on my face, reading, and playing with my cats and dogs.

    I also really enjoy weightlifting and spent 10 years as an avid powerlifter, maybe that applies to your grandmother too?
