Hello, I’m Alexandra (I prefer Alex) and I look forward to working with you in a way that respects your uniqueness, vulnerability, courage, and creativity.

In 25+ years as a Senior Clinical Psychologist, I’ve been able to develop an approach that helps me deepen my knowledge and understanding of what shapes your mental health and relationships, so that I can be genuinely present with you in each of our sessions, which will be conducted in a spirit of curiosity and openness.

To help you achieve the change you desire, I’ll work with you to build a strong, therapeutic relationship combined with evidence-based therapy. Together, we’ll explore the multiple “systems” or relationships you live within, both past and present, so we can understand the context in which your issues are arising.

I have a strong commitment to mindfulness based ways of working such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which help you develop the ability to accept and notice your thoughts, feelings and sensations rather than responding from a place of control. Life may often bring you unexpected stressors, some small and some huge, however our therapy together will aim to learn a way of navigating these difficult times with greater ease and flexibility, while always paying attention to your values.

Change and growth are important in life, which is why I’ll take a pragmatic approach to my work with you. And although I am known for being direct when appropriate, you’ll typically find that I’ll conduct our sessions with a sense of honesty, compassion, and genuine respect, along with a healthy dose of humour.

At the same time, I’m here to sit with you in your discomfort, should you need to go to uncomfortable places during our time together. I will carefully and safely help you sit with these feelings, no matter how intense they are. I’ll also gently nudge you towards challenging yourself when needed, as we discuss practical, direct strategies and insights to make change possible and also delve deeply to better understand your patterns if that is requested.

I am experienced in working with adolescents, adults, couples, performers, and families and have experience in community health, university counselling, primary health, a hospice, and in private practice over many years. I have a passion for working with creatives and performers bringing mindfulness-based and somatic approaches to understanding the performance experience whether that be individually or in a workshop or group format.

I also have significant experience in working with the LGBTQIA+ community and I am committed to maintaining a safe space for all.

I consult at North Adelaide, Mondays through to Friday, offering a range of both business and after hour appointments both face-to-face and via Telehealth.
