Meet Michelle.

Hi, I’m Michelle, a Clinical & Forensic Psychologist and Board-Approved Supervisor based in Brisbane.

I believe therapy is about more than simply managing symptoms. It’s an opportunity to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the ways you relate to the people and world around you.

My approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in seeing the whole person, rather than focusing only on what may be bringing you to therapy. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself, where your experiences are met with curiosity and compassion, and where you can explore what may be happening beneath the surface.

Throughout my career, I’ve supported young people, adults and families navigating a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, attachment disruptions and complex mental health experiences.

Over time, my work has become increasingly focused on the ways our experiences, relationships and emotional patterns can shape how we see ourselves, connect with others and move through life. Together, we can gently explore these patterns, build greater self-awareness and develop new ways of relating to yourself and the challenges you may be carrying.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel heard, seen and understood and at a pace that feels right for you.
