Catherine's journey to becoming a clinical psychologist began with a deep fascination for the human brain and its influence on our emotions and behaviours. After six years of university training, she completed an additional two years to become a qualified clinical psychologist, providing services to people of all ages and diverse backgrounds across New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania.

Now based in Victoria with her young family, Catherine enjoys working in private practice and connects with clients from all over Australia through online (telehealth) and face-to-face sessions in Melbourne/Naarm.

 

Catherine's favourite part of being a psychologist is building relationships with clients and guiding them on their mental health journeys by helping them to identify unhelpful thought patterns and learn how to use psychological techniques for personal growth.

Catherine uses evidence-based psychological therapies that are specifically tailored to address the needs of each individual. She is formally trained in the delivery of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Schema Therapy.

 

Catherine has been registered with the Australian Health Practitioners  Regulation Agency (AHPRA) for over 15 years and is a full member of the Australian Psychological Society.​ She is committed to providing culturally safe, respectful, and inclusive psychological care for people from all backgrounds and lived experiences. She acknowledges and pays respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their cultures, communities, and ongoing connection to Country. Her practice is committed to ongoing learning, cultural humility, and creating a space where all clients feel safe, heard, and respected.
