Clinical Experience & Focus
My clinical experience includes working within the Women's and Children's Hospital in Adelaide, where I provide psychological assessment and intervention across both inpatient and community settings. I have extensive experience collaborating with schools, community organisations, psychiatrists, paediatricians, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams to support mental health, developmental outcomes, and overall wellbeing.
As a Clinical Psychologist, I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families to navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful, lasting change. I provide evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs, helping clients develop greater self-understanding, strengthen emotional wellbeing, and build practical skills to manage life's complexities with confidence.
I work with a broad range of presentations, including anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, neurodevelopmental conditions, and behavioural challenges. I also provide comprehensive developmental and psychoeducational assessments to assist with diagnosis, treatment planning, and educational support. I am a Certified Autism Diagnostician, having completed specialised clinical training in the assessment and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder through the Women’s and Children’s Hospital Child Development Unit.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and client-centred. I draw on evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), adapting treatment to meet each person's goals and circumstances.
I am committed to providing culturally safe and culturally responsive care. I value the diverse backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences that each person brings to therapy and strive to create an inclusive environment where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered. In addition to English, I am fluent in Hindi and Punjabi, enabling me to provide therapy in these languages and support clients from culturally and linguistically diverse communities with greater cultural understanding and sensitivity.
I believe that effective therapy is built on a strong therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help clients not only overcome current challenges but also develop the resilience, insight, and confidence to flourish throughout life.
