Amy is a Registered Psychologist who is trauma-informed and neuro-affirming. She brings warmth, curiosity, and compassion to the therapeutic space. Amy enjoys working collaboratively with clients, utilising evidence-based approaches to guide and support individuals in addressing their unique needs, goals and challenges. She believes that healing happens when clients feel truly heard, respected, and supported in a safe, non-judgmental way.

She has had personal lived experience with many of the areas of her clinical focus (neurodiversity, depression, anxiety, perinatal mental health issues, insomnia, stress/overwhelm). Amy brings a unique understanding of the challenges involved with each presentation. Her approach is grounded in empathy, evidence-based care, and an openness to ongoing learning. Amy has 6 years of experience in therapeutic roles – first as a Mental Health/Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and now as a Psychologist.

Amy draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and EMDR.
