I am a Clinical Psychologist and work from a psychoanalytical framework. I typically work with adults (16+ years) for long term therapy but also practice short-term, solution focused, insight driven therapy if time is limited. In this approach, the emphasis of treatment is about working to understanding the roots of the problem, not just dealing with the symptoms. This leads to lasting change.

I’ve been in the mental health and disability sector for over 25 years, and walked alongside people and families, and had the joy of being reminded how unique each and every one of us is. Just like you, I’m on the journey of designing a life that matters including paid or unpaid work, health, love, and play (I love live streaming series and movies, reading and learning. Italian and Bachata are my latest conquests). One of Clair’s superpowers is her ability to truly listen and understand her clients and their needs. She passionately works with participants and their loved ones to get what is important to them.

Often people seek out a counsellor or psychotherapist as a last resort. They wait until small cracks in their life become big ones that turn into chasms and feel like they’re going to swallow them up. The reason? There is still a stigma in Australia around seeking help when we’re struggling (particularly among men). Here’s the good news: if you’re facing challenges right now, whether they’re tiny or monstrous, there’s actually nothing wrong with you! Life is just pretty complicated these days, social support is often not as strong or frequent as we need, and so we all need a bit of special support and guidance sometimes.

Has your life changed all of a sudden due to a bereavement or the end of a relationship? Are you feeling confused, alone and overwhelmed by the emotions you are experiencing? Grief and loss can leave us struggling to find relief from the sadness ,anger ,guilt and the many other emotions we may be feeling as well as leaving us paralysed at the thought of how we will find a way to move forward to a place where we can resume living our lives in the absence of our loved one. All of us will feel the effects of grief at some time in our lives but the way we experience it is unique and deeply personal.

Hello, I'm a Registered Psychologist. I work across the lifespan, with particular experience in the areas of adult's sleep difficulties, depression, anxiety and children's behavioural issues. I support clients to better understand the root of these issues and utilise first-line evidence-based treatments. Interventions often include looking at the way we process our emotions, manage our worries/negative thoughts and shifting the behaviours that keep us in unhelpful cycles. My approach is warm, down-to-earth and collaborative. I value building a good rapport with my clients and enjoy the occasional moment of shared laughter.
