              Who would benefit from seeing you?

              I mostly work with individuals who identify as ADHD and/or autistic, who have learning disorders and/or an intellectual developmental disorder. I am a neurodiversity affirming psychologist with lived experience. Often, my clients experience difficulties with emotional regulation, anxiety, low mood, as well as different ways of processing information, socialising and learning.

                    What has your psychology journey looked like?

                    I have studied a Bachelor of psychological science (hons.) and a Master of professional psychology, with experience working in a school and private practice as a provisional psychologist. At Scope, I have a great deal of experience performing therapy and assessment with children and adolescents. However, I also enjoy working with adults and am interested in providing more assessment for adults in the future.

                          What values underpin your approach?

                          I value being able to provide a non-judgemental, accepting and safe space for clients to express themselves. My approach is both collaborative and evidence-based,  working with clients and using evidence-based techniques, such as CBT, DBT and ACT. As a neurodivergent practitioner, I particularly value the opportunity to work with neurodivergent clients, and believe that I can bring a certain level of understanding and insight into their experiences.

                                What do you find rewarding about being a psychologist?

                                The most rewarding part about being a psychologist is being able to make an impact on the lives of others, and seeing the progress that clients make on their journey.

                                      Why do you like working at Scope?

                                      Scope is a wonderful place to work! My work schedule is very flexible, the team are all amazing, and I am given the autonomy to direct my own learning and professional development.

                                            What are some of your personal interests?

                                            I love gardening—though I only have a balcony, I try to make the most of it. Being outdoors is always relaxing, and I enjoy the mindfulness that comes with gardening. I also enjoy crafting—sewing, crocheting and knitting. Crafting allows me to explore my creativity, focus on a mindful task, and each time I finish a piece, I get a fantastic sense of accomplishment!
