Meet Lucy - (she/her).
I provide evidence-based psychological services to adults and young people (17+) experiencing a broad range of challenges - whether that be a relationship breakdown, coping with sudden life changes, or related to mental illness. As I say to my clients, you never have to justify why you are here.
I’ve worked across a range of mental health settings for the past six years - including outpatient sleep clinics, university settings, community health and private practice. Before moving back to Melbourne, I had spent several years working as a psychologist in Aboriginal-controlled community health across the Central Desert (APY Lands) and Mparntwe (Alice Springs).

As a clinically-trained psychologist, I endeavour to balance my clinical lens with genuine warmth, and a down-to-earth, direct approach. I prioritise building a therapeutic relationship that feels comfortable and affirming, and fosters a safe and positive experience of psychological therapy.
I practice with respect, integrity and compassion, and take an integrative approach in selecting evidence-based treatments depending on each person's needs, preferences, and circumstances.

When I’m not working with clients, I can be found outdoors on some form of trail, immersing myself in Lygon St’s Readings, or experimenting with old film cameras (which you'll see amateur snippets of throughout the website, including parts of unceded palawa and Big River country of Tasmania, and the outskirts of Southern Italy).
