Clinical Psychologist Kingston, Tasmania
I am a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about helping children (5+), adolescents, young adults and parents to understand their struggles and feel safe/confident to achieve their goals. Previously I have worked in public and non-for-profit sectors in Brisbane, Queensland providing both therapy and assessment independently and as part of a team. My experience has taught me the importance of thorough assessment, so I understand the individuals strengths/challenges including the people and environment around them. Additionally, to providing therapy, I also complete education assessments for school aged children to understand their learning difficulties and intellect. How I will work with you in therapy sessions I prioritise building a strong connection with you providing creativity, playfulness, compassion and structure as needed. I value collaborative goal setting and teaching/exploring evidence-based psychology techniques in a way which helps you meet those goals. When working with children, whenever possible I engage the parents in therapy to increase the likelihood of success outside of the therapy room.
