Biography:
Think Feel Grow is a private psychology practice dedicated to supporting children, young people and their families using evidence-based therapies and approaches so that they can grow, thrive and live meaningful lives.
I have worked as a school psychologist in primary schools and high schools across Perth, and in private practice. I am passionate about working with school-aged children and young people and supporting them to discover and develop insight and skills that will help them throughout their lives. I also enjoy working with parents and other caring adults to support them to build skills and understanding to further enhance their parent-child relationship and their child’s wellbeing.
I believe every person has the ability and skills to make meaningful and value-centred decisions about their lives. Therefore, working in partnership with children, young people and families is central to my approach. My role as a psychologist is not to be an expert about a person’s life as that is their role, but to bring my understanding of psychology, development, mental health and wellbeing, to shine a light on certain areas the person or family are raising, and to support them to build their own understanding and to live a meaningful life, whatever that looks like to them.
My work draws from various modalities and approaches including acceptance and commitment therapy, self-compassion and mindfulness, the DNA-V model and positive psychology. I am a Triple P trained facilitator and my parenting-based work draws from this, attachment theory, and Collaborative and Proactive Solutions.
