Therapies
As a psychologist I work eclectically from a range of evidenced based psychological approaches to meet the individual where they are at, to achieve what is important to the individual.
My approach is client centred and offers both assessment, psychological therapy and mental health treatment for adolescents, adults and families.
My areas of interest include Perinatal Mental Health, Eating Disorders, ADHD/ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety disorders, relational and intergenerational trauma, Depression and Stress.
I believe all lasting psychological change starts with a safe and secure therapeutic relationship. This creates the foundation for curiosity and awareness, allowing for validation and choice.

Programs
Davis Method (™)
Davis Autism Approach (&trade)
Davis Concepts for Life (&trade) Approach
The Davis Method (&trade) is a developmental approach designed to support individuals of all ages in building the quality of life of their choosing. Developmental approaches allow individuals to explore the underlying challenges they experience, laying a strong foundation that can be built upon through experience. It allows them to build both external and internal awareness supporting regulation and relationships. Building transferable and generalisable learnings.
The Davis Autism Approach (& trade) and Davis Concepts for Life (& trade) Approach allows individuals the opportunity for sensory integration, where information perceived by our senses is accurate. Accurate perception of the world around us and our internal world, reduces overwhelm and emotional dysregulation. It paves the way to building a stronger sense of self and self identity, the precursors for social relationships and social integration.
The Davis Autism (& trade) and the Davis Concepts for Life (& trade) programs use a multimodal approach to learning, utilising modeling clay and 3D models to introduce fundamental abstract life concepts, taking fuzzy ideas about the world and making them concrete and tangible. Programs are person centred, meeting the individual where they are at and going at their pace.
Individuals who have participated in the Davis Autism Approach (& trade) or Davis Concepts for Life (& trade) Approach report the following outcomes:
- A stronger sense of self
- A reduction in overwhelm
- A reduction in anxiety
- Improved well being
- Improved time management
- Greater ability to organise
- Flexible thinking and increased autonomy
- Improved executive functioning
- Improved social relationships
The Davis Autism Approach (& trade) and Davis Concepts for Life (& trade) Approach allows for meaningful, lasting change. Individuals develop underlying understanding and abilities that support their personal and individual growth across their life.
