Your story and identity is unique. Life at times can be hard, finding someone that deeply listens and understands you at these points becomes crucial. Through a therapeutic process you and I will explore your fears, hopes, multitude of feelings and emotions. Often things become clearer through this process and you discover a form of healing that is deep and long lasting. I don't diagnose you or give you advice. I trust that you have the answers within. You decide what we focus on and we go at your pace.

Not accepting new clients
Hi, I'm Aimee and I am passionate about delivering psychological services to adolescents and young adults. I believe that it is never too soon (or late!) to learn new skills to support our mental wellbeing. I offer counselling and assessment (e.g., WISC, WIAT, ADOS, Conners) services. I am available to accept assessment and supervision enquiries. I am currently at-capacity for therapy clients and I am not accepting new counselling referrals (GPMHCP/NDIS). This supports me in providing effective care to my existing clients. Thank you for your understanding.

Grounded in empowerment and holistic well-being, my therapeutic practice aims to foster resilience, fulfillment, and balance. During my sessions, I utilize Mindfulness-based therapies, EMDR, EFT, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Parts Work, and Private Subconscious Healing (PSH) Therapy to address a spectrum of mental health challenges, including OCD, emotional pain, low self-confidence, low self-esteem, addictions, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety and much more. I incorporate techniques to help individuals disconnect from sticky emotions, enabling them to connect with their true selves and receive divine guidance and healing.

Before I worked as a clinical psychologist, I was a professional musician. This line of work taught me a lot. I found that the best music is made when one listens carefully, and responds to what is happening in the moment, rather than simply reciting familiar material. I bring the same philosophy to my work as a psychologist. It is incredibly important to first listen, and deeply understand the goals of the individual, which then guide the direction of therapy.

I am a Social Worker and a Gestalt Psychotherapist. I have worked in mental health, disability, with the aged and the dying. Throughout my life journey I have come to have a deep appreciation of the human spirit and its capacity for growth and development. I understand that we are all unique in our response to the challenges that we face, and I work towards creating a supportive and safe environment that allows exploration of what is currently occurring in your life and how it is impacting your ability to live as you would like. Through this process, awareness deepens and the possibility and opportunity for change can occur.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, tired, hopeless or lacking joy; like your emotions are uncontrollable or that they do not match with reality; that your worry is getting out of hand or that there is no longer any point, then it might be a good time to seek some support. We are social creatures, and despite what our modern society might have us believe, we all need human connection to function. Seeking support is a huge sign of strength – the strength to actually reach out and let someone in, in order to start the healing process. If you can relate to this or if you have set yourself a personal development goal please reach out.

It’s often said that the most powerful tool in a person's life comes from within - your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. As a clinical psychotherapist with experience across diverse demography ranging from teenagers to working professionals, I know just how true this is. My journey has taught me one thing – we all have the power to make our lives better if we put in the effort and work towards cultivating our inner resilience. My philosophy is guided by evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I strive to ensure my clients feel heard, understood and respected, regardless of their situation, past or concern. Taking a positive psychology and humanistic approach, I fundamentally believe that every person has a unique strength and I strive to maximise and build upon that strength. I focus on the person as a whole and want to help people be the best version of themselves. Moving away from a deficit focus, I use strengths-based approaches with my clients. I aim to continuously provide clients with respect, a collaborative approach to working on goals, with compassion and authenticity.
