Biographical Info
Hi, I’m Catherine, a registered psychologist and TRTP practitioner committed to providing a compassionate therapeutic space where you feel safe, seen and supported toward positive life change and personal growth.
I practice through a neuro-affirming lens using a trauma-informed approach. My current focus is treatment of anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, loss and grief, burnout, and PTSD.
I have been trained in a range of therapeutic modalities and am excited to have TRTP within my therapeutic toolkit. TRTP is a brief intervention that helps to build psychological health, confidence and personal agency.
TRTP provides opportunity for your body and your mind to experience a safe and effective corrective experience that shifts the fight flight response from active to calm. TRTP does not require you to re-tell or re-experience old events. Memories are updated, not erased or altered, but reconsolidated to allow the person’s automatic safety response to reset from a setting of ‘high alert’ to a setting of emotional safety and physiological calm.
If you would like to learn more about TRTP and whether it is a good fit for you please feel free to get in touch.
I love to work with adults who are ready to take charge of how they do life. Sometimes people need a little help to feel ready and that is ok too. I will meet you where you are at.
I have been providing psychological assessment and therapy to a broad range of adults for more than 30 years. My clinical experience spans general community, adult psychiatry, aged psychiatry, and chronic progressive neurology (eg: multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, MND) in public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
I am registered through AHPRA, hold endorsement as a clinical neuropsychologist, and am a Psychology Board of Australia approved supervisor.
