Psychologist on the Sunshine Coast

A safe space to make sense of what's going on - and work out a way forward

What to Expect

Whether we meet in-person in Peregian Springs or via telehealth across Australia, taking the first step can feel daunting.

My Goal is to make the process of seeking help for your mental health, alcohol and drug issues, chronic pain, or endurance sport as straight forward and supportive as possible.

Here’s what you can expect in a session with me:

The Right Fit: Before your first session, we’ll ensure my experience aligns with your specific goals.
A Professional Space: Your privacy is a priority, provided within a safe, confidential, and professional environment.
Your Pace, Your Story: We take the time to talk things through at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Evidence-Based & Individualized: You will receive thoughtful, non-judgemental support using evidence-based strategies such as CBT and ACT tailored to your circumstances.

Focused Areas of Support

I have a particular focus on providing evidence-informed services including:

Alcohol and Other Drug Counselling: With 15+ years experiencing in alcohol and other drug services, I provide evidence-informed support for concerns related to all kinds of drugs including alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, cannabis and prescription medication - with a focus on harm minimisation. Our work will include, a thorough understanding of your substance use, identifying triggers, and developing everyday coping strategies.

Chronic Pain Management: Using strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients navigate persistent pain and flare-ups, moving the focus from "fixing" pain to improving daily function and quality of life.

Performance Psychology for Athletes: Combining my 35 years as a triathlete with being a psychologist, I provide dedicated mindset support for endurance athletes (triathletes, runners, and cyclists). We work on mental toughness, managing pre-race nerves, and maintaining focus during high-pressure training and competition blocks.

While based in Peregian Springs, I regularly support clients from surrounding communities including Noosa, Coolum, Maroochydore, and across the Sunshine Coast. For those living outside of these areas, I also see clients across Australia via telehealth.

Anxiety and Panic Attacks: Managing overwhelming worry and physical symptoms of stress.
Depression and Low Mood: Finding ways forward when feeling stuck or unmotivated.
Stress Management: Navigating the pressures of work, financial, and relationship challenges.
Sleep Problems & Adjustment: Practical strategies for insomnia and adapting to major life changes.
