Clinical Psychologist
Caroline is a Clinical Psychologist who has over twenty years’ experience working in various mental health and counselling services. She has worked with adults and young people in community and hospital-based government mental health services, as well as in private practice and Defence health services.
In addition to her extensive experience in individual therapy, Caroline has also specialised in group psychotherapy. In her therapy, Caroline is able to draw on experience and training in a range of psychological models, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
Working with a Clinical Psychologist can be a very important life experience, requiring significant rapport between the client and the therapist. Caroline works collaboratively with her clients, fostering a therapeutic relationship based on respect, openness and just a little humour. She has the philosophy that you are the ‘expert’ on yourself; with guidance and support from a therapist, you can optimise your strengths and move towards the more fulfilling, meaningful life you desire.
Counsellor
Since completing a Master of Counselling, Andrea enjoys working with adult clients, using a collaborative, person-centred approach to gain an understanding of their experiences from THEIR perspectives. Within this fundamental approach, she incorporates interventions drawn from other evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, DBT and SFBT*, to provide the opportunity for her clients to make changes that are important to them and their self-worth.
Andrea has a special interest in the mind-body connection and works with individuals who feel so overwhelmed by the pressures they are experiencing at work or at home, that they have very little time for anything other than their duties and responsibilities. Mental and physical exhaustion, and sometimes chronic pain, depression and anxiety are some of the realities of their daily existence making it increasingly difficult to participate in activities that have previously brought them pleasure and fulfilment. Using her natural empathy, Andrea listens deeply to her clients whilst providing them with a non-judgemental space where they can feel safe to reveal their concerns and clarify their counselling goals. Tools and strategies are then carefully selected and offered according to each person’s unique situation, so that they can live their lives their way, with a renewed sense of hope, confidence, motivation and self worth. *CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT - Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, SFBT - Solution Focused Brief Therapy
