Philosophy & Vision
Hi, my name is Emma. I'm a clinical psychologist in Brisbane offering individualized psychotherapy in a primarily contemporary psychodynamic style that is respectful and grounding. Having trained in several evidence-based treatments, I tend to take an integrative and client-directed approach, tailoring treatment to clients' needs and goals. I have a particular interest in longer-term work, in which clients may make meaningful, lasting changes in their relationships with themselves and others.
Background
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist working in Brisbane, Australia. Since achieving a Bachelor of Psychological Science with Honours and Master of Clinical Psychology, I have provided evidence-based psychological treatment to people from all walks of life. My experience across private practice, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community mental health, chronic pain management, psychiatric hospital care and in secondary education settings has provided me with many diverse learning and growth opportunities. It is an honour to do this work, and I aim to do my very best to listen, understand, and create the therapeutic space you need.
Services
I offer individual psychotherapy for adults (18+) on a short- or long-term basis. We can decide together the frequency and duration of treatment after an initial assessment stage, in line with your clinical needs and personal goals.
Quality Provision
As a clinical psychologist, I engage in regular professional development and clinical supervision to ensure that I am always offering the best care and service that I can. I am respectful and reflective in my practice, sensitive to cultural-diversity and am an ally to for LGBTQIA+ persons. I welcome and appreciate client feedback and use this to inform my work for the better.
