More about Carol

- AHPRA
I am a General Registered Psychologist who works with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, substance use concerns, and challenges related to family conflict, relationships, and life transitions. I have experience supporting individuals with complex mental health needs and those navigating high-pressure or high-risk environments.
My work is grounded in evidence-based practice, including CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and structured treatment planning. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to your goals, values, and strengths.
I aim to provide a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can explore challenges openly and at your own pace. Taking steps toward change can feel overwhelming, but support can make that journey more manageable and empowering. I am here to help you work toward improved wellbeing and a more fulfilling life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
