Amy is a registered psychologist who is currently undertaking the clinical psychology registrar program. She has previously worked in hospital outpatient clinics, community mental health services, and university counselling centres. She works with adults aged 18+ for a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, and OCD. 



Amy is passionate about helping people achieve a greater understanding of themselves and their patterns, to develop new ways of coping with difficult thoughts or emotions, and to take steps toward the life they want. Amy uses evidence-based treatments, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). 



Mostly, Amy provides a relaxed space where people can feel comfortable, accepted, and safe to share things that are hard to speak about elsewhere. She tailors each person's treatment to ensure their needs, preferences, and feedback are incorporated into the sessions.

Amy consults from our Chelsea Heights clinic.
