Hello, I'm Joanna

I have a broad background in working with military personnel, veterans and their families, athletes across their lifespan and professional journey, men’s mental health, and perinatal psychology (including those desiring parenthood and on their fertility journey, throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond- mothers, fathers, birthing and non-birthing parents).

​

I enjoy working with mood concerns/disorders across all ages. I have a special interest in working with the anxiety continuum- that ranging from minimal impact, to significant in functioning across life domains. I also enjoy working with people who want to excel in specialised areas. Some other areas of practice are trauma, adjustment concerns, and anger.

​

I am genuinely interested in the stories people bring in the therapeutic setting. I see a big part of psychology as the putting together of the pieces of the puzzle- working together with people through assessment to understand how things came to be the way they are, and in therapy for how things could be different.

My Story

I completed my undergrad degree BA (Psychology) (2005) and Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology (2006) at the University of Wollongong. I completed my Masters of Applied Psychology (Sport & Exercise) at University of Queensland (2020), and am currently working through a Master of Psychology Practice (Clinical) at ACAP University College.

​

My approach is to focus on relationship development and building of trust. I love to learn about you, your background, your triumphs and challenges. I believe in a strengths-based approach, and the use of humour to enhance the relationship and encourage the therapeutic space to be one of exploration and vulnerability. I use an attachment focused approach to assessment and intervention and will choose a therapeutic model that is evidence based, suit your presenting concerns and context, and will aim to progress to your therapy goals.

​

I have a busy young family so much of my time outside of work is spent with various activities revolving around the family. I love the beach, and love a range of sporting/physical activity.
