Hello! I'm Lizzie :)
I am a clinical psychotherapist with 10+ years across the public, NGO and private sectors. As a therapist, I have a warm, creative, interactive and relational style that is trauma informed, client-centred and supports you toward harmony in the body-mind with a gentle focus on somatic mindfulness.
My early days as a therapist were spent as a drug and alcohol clinician in the public sector - a baptism of fire. But through this work I began to see the link between addiction and trauma; particularly early-childhood trauma / unresolved suffering.
This sparked a curiosity in me, and I began to pursue training in trauma-informed modalities, such as Mindfulness-integrated CBT, Internal Family Systems and Poly-vagal Theory, which lead me to begin working for Australia's 'National Centre of Excellence ' for those with complex-trauma. Here, I supported those struggling with the impacts of complex trauma and a disability.
In this position I was privileged to work with some of the most marginalised communities, where I witnessed the full range of the behavioural, emotional and psychological impacts of trauma/unresolved suffering. It was a real honour to support such people who would normally fall 'through the cracks'. I particularly enjoyed supporting clients who identified as neurodivergent!
Today, I hold a clinical position at one of Australia's leading addiction treatment hospitals, and run a private practice in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia.
Despite my clinical foundation, I specialise in supporting the Highly Sensitive Person who is struggling to come to terms with how life has unfolded, and how they are now engaging in life as a result.
As a trauma-informed therapist I believe in tailoring my approach to suit you. People that have worked with me often report feeling more at peace with who they are, a greater capacity to hold space for life’s challenges, and experience more harmonious relationships with others and within themselves.
I am privileged to witness and support the inner transformation of my clients, and find great fulfilment in partnering with them on their journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
