You may be facing challenges such as:

  • Constantly overthinking, worrying or feeling overwhelmed
  • Feeling low, emotionally exhausted or disconnected from things that once mattered
  • Struggling after trauma, grief, loss or a significant life change
  • Feeling stuck in relationship patterns that keep repeating
  • Burning out at work or navigating workplace stress, bullying or conflict
  • Knowing something isn't right, but finding it hard to move forward on your own

If these sound familiar, therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to better understand your experiences, develop practical coping strategies, and move towards clarity at your own pace.

  • A genuine, respectful therapeutic relationship where you can feel heard without judgement

Helping you move forward with confidence

Gill's approach

Warm respectful & collaborative 

A space where you can talk openly without judgement

Focused on understanding patterns and building insight

Evidence-based strategies tailored to your circumstances

Practical support that fits real life for meaningful, lasting change

You don't need a diagnosis to begin

Many people seek therapy without meeting criteria for a specific mental health condition. Sometimes the goal is simply to feel clearer, more grounded and better equipped to manage life's challenges.


I'm here to help children, adolescents, adults & couples reflect on the difficulties they face. This could be difficulties with how you feel, in your relationships or that impact how you think, ultimately lowering your mental health.


If your experiences are related to trauma or PTSD, you may find our Trauma & PTSD Therapy page helpful.

01

Initial consultation with Gill

The first session is a chance to talk through what's brought you here - your current situation, your history, and what you're hoping to get from therapy. Gill will start building a picture of your circumstances and begin working with you in a way that's tailored to your individual needs and style. You don't need to prepare anything in advance.

02

Ongoing sessions with Gill

As the work progresses, sessions become more focused - developing insight, working through patterns, and building practical strategies you can apply between appointments. You'll always have a clear sense of what you're working on and why.

03

Review

Progress in therapy isn't always linear, but over time most people notice they feel clearer, less overwhelmed and more able to respond to challenges without being derailed by them. Gill tracks your progress across sessions and adjusts the approach where needed - you'll always have a sense of what you're working on and why.

Psychological approaches

Gill draws from a range of evidence-based approaches depending on your needs. These psychological strategies are eligible for Medicare rebates when accessed under a Mental Health Care Plan, which involves communication and collaboration between your psychologist and referring GP to support your ongoing care. These include:

  • Psycho-education

  • Motivational interviewing

  • Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)

  • Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Skills training

  • Stress Management and resilience Training

  • Relational psychotherapies

Psycho-education

Aims to provide you with knowledge and understanding of various mental health issues, including how they develop, what a diagnosis means, or how to make sense of your experience. I draw from a broad toolbox of theories, models and practical strategies across treatment approaches, psychological science and evolutionary psychology. The aim is for you to leave treatment knowing more, understanding what is happening to you, in your situation, and feeling clearer about what can be done next.

In-person & telehealth therapy

I offer flexible appointment times, including evening appointments for your convenience. By far the easiest way is to book an appointment through my online booking system, which shows real-time availability of appointments.
