Meet Annie

I began my career as a secondary school teacher and then spent time working with
disengaged youth and individuals with profound disabilities  I then went back to University and became a Registered Psychologist so that I could do more to help young people feel great about themselves, their lives and their futures, I believe that if we dream big and dig deep, we can become whoever we want to be in life. I will do my best to support you with your emotions, worries, and challenges. I really enjoy helping people to overcome barriers and achieve great outcomes. You can expect that I will take the time to get to know you and
do my best to meet you where you are.

I have extensive experience guiding and mentoring teens through anxiety, depression and the many challenges of youth. By exploring strengths and values, we can work together to
find new direction, skills and growth. I also work with adults who need support across a range of challenges including neurodivergence, trauma, parenting children with special
needs etc. My therapeutic style is based on building a safe, open connection using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to
challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and explore new ways of doing life.

I offer my services through Telehealth which means you can access psychological support
from the comfort of your own home!

Meet Ripi

I am a Registered Educational and Developmental Psychologist with postgraduate qualifications, including a doctorate, in Educational and Developmental Psychology, and Child and Family Psychology. As a person, I am described as empathic, patient, gentle, reflective, and a strong advocate for my clients. I have a particular interest in providing neurodiversity-affirming care and supporting children and families impacted by trauma. I conduct psychoeducational assessments in autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, and giftedness. My therapeutic approaches include child-centred play therapy (CCPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), tailored to each client’s strengths and needs.

I believe that therapy is a space where our nervous systems can come to a place of rest, feel seen and heard; it is also a place where we can be unconditionally validated for who we inherently are as individuals, and our dignity is upheld wholeheartedly. To achieve these therapeutic ideals, I engage in regular supervision to reflect on my practice and am mindful about the quality of presence I bring to each session. “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are” (Carl Jung) and I look forward to the privilege of joining your child/young person on their journey.

We have an amazing admin team at our clinic. We are here to help with all of your queries. Contact us via email on [email protected] or 03 9119 4433.
