At Child Counselling Clinic (previously known as Lillian Underhill Child Psychology), I am dedicated to providing a warm and supportive environment for children, adolescents, and families seeking guidance through their life challenges. As a Registered Psychologist, I offer comprehensive assessments and tailored therapy sessions that are grounded in evidence-based practices. My approach is rooted in building trust and rapport, ensuring that each young person feels safe to express themselves. I work collaboratively with families to foster understanding and strengthen relationships, helping to nurture resilience and emotional well-being in the developmental journey of every child.

I am particularly interested in working with neurodivergence (including but not limited to autism and ADHD), and neurodiverse children and families, and I prioritise adopting a neuro-affirming approach to my practice.

• My other areas of interest include working with clients experiencing:

• Depression, low mood and self-esteem issues,

• Anxiety, stress and emotional regulation challenged and behavioural issues.

• I have experience with clients who have experienced trauma, including family violence and other forms of interpersonal trauma. As such, I ensure my practice is trauma-informed and strive to create a safe space for clients to explore their experiences when they are ready.

In my sessions, I bring a friendly and down-to-earth approach to ensure that all my sessions are client-centered, empathetic, and warm. I follow the client’s lead and aim to tailor sessions and strategies around personal interests (e.g., Minecraft, Lego, Pokémon, animals) and often create personalised stories when appropriate.

I draw from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI), applying these eclectically to meet the client's needs.
