Psychologist in Clifton Hill | Anxiety, Depression & Relationship Support
I’m a psychologist based in Clifton Hill in Melbourne, working with teenagers, adults and couples. People come to therapy for many different reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, work stress and difficult life transitions.
My practice supports individuals and couples from Clifton Hill and surrounding Melbourne suburbs, providing a space to better understand challenges, develop coping strategies and create meaningful change.
Below are some of the groups and mental health concerns I commonly work with. If you’re unsure whether I’m the right fit, feel free to get in touch and we can discuss your situation.
Who I Work With
(Teenagers, Adults & Couples)
I work with teenagers, adults and couples across Clifton Hill and the wider Melbourne area. Therapy can provide a supportive space to better understand what you’re going through and explore practical steps forward.
Teenagers (14 years and older)
Supporting adolescents as they navigate the challenges of school life, evolving friendships, family relationships and identity development. Therapy can provide a space to explore emotions, develop coping strategies and build confidence during this important stage of life.
Adults of all ages
Working with adults across Clifton Hill and the broader Melbourne area who are experiencing a range of mental health concerns, life transitions and personal challenges. Therapy can help people better understand patterns in their thinking, emotions and behaviour while developing practical strategies for change.
Couples
Helping couples improve communication patterns, strengthen emotional connection and navigate conflict more constructively. Couples therapy focuses on understanding patterns that create disconnection and developing new ways of relating.
Mental Health Challenges I Help With
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some of the mental health challenges I commonly support people with include:
Anxiety
Persistent worry, racing thoughts or a constant sense of unease that can make everyday life feel overwhelming.
Work Stress and Burnout
Pressures at work, conflict in the workplace, emotional exhaustion or difficulty balancing professional and personal responsibilities.
Relationship Difficulties
Patterns of conflict, disconnection, or feeling stuck in the same arguments or misunderstandings in relationships with partners, friends or family members.
Depression
Low mood, loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, or feeling stuck, hopeless or emotionally flat.
Low Self-Esteem and Self-Criticism
Persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or feeling ‘not good enough’ despite your efforts or achievements. Therapy can help develop a more balanced and compassionate relationship with yourself.
Perfectionism
Feeling constant pressure to perform, fear of making mistakes, or difficulty feeling satisfied with your achievements. Perfectionism can contribute to anxiety, burnout and self-criticism.
Overthinking and Rumination
Getting stuck in cycles of repetitive thinking, analysing situations or worrying about the future. These patterns can make it difficult to switch off and enjoy the present.
Life Direction and Identity
Feeling uncertain about your direction in life, career or relationships. Therapy can provide space to explore your values, identity and what matters most to you.
Anger
Outbursts or intense anger that feels difficult to control, sometimes feeling out of proportion to the situation.
LGBTQI+ Related Challenges
Including identity questions, experiences of discrimination, or pressures within family, work or social environments.
Grief and Loss
The emotional pain that can follow bereavement, separation or other significant losses in life.
Life Transitions and Adjustment Difficulties
Sometimes a particular life event or change creates more stress than expected. This might include relationship changes, career transitions, relocation or other major life adjustments.
ADHD and Autism (Neurodivergence)
Supporting people who identify as neurodivergent to better understand their experiences, work with their strengths and navigate challenges in everyday life.
If you don’t see your particular concern listed here, you are welcome to get in touch. This page summarises some of the main areas I work with, but it is not an exhaustive list.
Special Interest Areas
I have particular experience and interest in supporting the following groups within my Clifton Hill and Melbourne-based practice.
Adolescents (14 years and older)
Supporting teenagers as they navigate the complexities of school life, evolving social relationships and the search for identity.
Couples
Helping couples improve communication patterns, strengthen emotional connection and develop more constructive ways of managing conflict.
Men’s Mental Health
A special focus on working with men who may have had limited experience with therapy or who feel unsure about taking the first step.
Older Adults (60s, 70s and 80s)
I also enjoy working with older adults navigating the opportunities and challenges that can arise later in life. This may include adjusting to retirement, changes in health, shifts in identity or purpose, grief and loss, or changes in family roles and relationships. Therapy can provide a supportive space to reflect on life experiences, make sense of transitions and maintain emotional wellbeing during this stage of life.
Areas of limited experience
There are some areas of mental health where I have less experience and training. These include:
Eating Disorders
Substance Use (including alcohol)
Forensic Mental Health
If you are seeking support in one of these areas, you are welcome to get in touch. I can draw on my professional network across Melbourne to help connect you with clinicians or services who are better placed to support you.
