Understand yourself.
Change the patterns keeping you stuck.
Sometimes we can understand why we think, feel or respond the way we do, yet still find ourselves repeating the same patterns.
Therapy can help you make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, navigate life's challenges, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Meet Alicia
Finding the right psychologist matters. Therapy is personal, and feeling comfortable, understood and able to be yourself is an important part of the process.
I'm Alicia, a registered psychologist with 20 years' experience working with adolescents and adults. My approach is warm, collaborative and tailored to the individual, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapies to understand both what you're experiencing now and the patterns and experiences that may sit beneath it.
I aim to provide a space where you can explore difficult experiences without judgement, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.
How Therapy Can Help
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be navigating something difficult in your life right now, noticing patterns that keep repeating, or wanting to better understand yourself and your relationships.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing a range of concerns, including anxiety and depression, childhood trauma and emotional neglect, grief and loss, relationship and attachment difficulties, perfectionism, low self-esteem, stress and life transitions.
