Registered Psychologist & Executive Coach

"I am an AHPRA-registered psychologist and executive coach, with a broad depth of experience, committed to delivering genuine person-centered and strength-based therapy."

About Me

I am an AHPRA-registered psychologist and executive coach, committed to delivering genuine person-centered and strength-based therapy. I aim to provide a space for my clients that is safe, welcoming, and free from judgment or stigma. As a therapist, I aim to assist and support clients in exploring their unique values and identities.

 

Psychology & Corporate Work Experience

With three years of experience working in the marketing industry combined with my work as a registered psychologist, I often reflect on the role of passion in my career. A good salary or social status doesn’t necessarily equate to happiness. As our jobs can take up a significant amount of time within our lives, many individuals can feel drained and unsatisfied with their lives after their work day has ended. I’m passionate about helping my clients embrace their authentic selves in the workplace, believing that true personal and professional growth can only happen when we feel comfortable enough to be ourselves, in and out of the workplace.

 

I am passionate about supporting working adults in managing work-related stress, and can support them holistically in dealing with both personal and professional issues which often overlap, to more effectively boost their overall wellbeing. This helps to separate personal and professional concerns and achieve greater personal and professional well-being.

 

Diversity Lived Experience

Through my lived experience, I deeply understand the imbalance and distress that can come with oppression. For individuals facing discrimination or judgment due to their diverse sexual or cultural identity, living freely and authentically can be incredibly difficult. Rather than assuming the role of an expert, I see therapy as a partnership—working alongside my clients to explore their potential and who they want to become. My goal is to create a secure space where they feel truly heard throughout their therapy journey.

 

I specialise in working with adults from cultural minority backgrounds, including immigrants, sexual minorities, and religious minorities. I hold multiple master’s degrees and have professional experience in both psychology and business management. 

​My key areas of focus include self-identity, self-worth, and challenges related to communication and emotional expression. Ultimately, I strive to help my clients embrace their true selves, as the inability to do so is a significant source of mental health struggles in both the workplace and daily life.

What is a Psychologist?

A registered psychologist is a trained mental health professional who undergoes at least 6 years of study and assists a wide variety of clients, using evidence-based approaches to support psychological well-being.
