More about Brigid

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • AHPRA

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Board Approved Supervisor (and ex-criminal defense lawyer) who is passionate about helping adolescents and adults with a range of mental health issues. I have a special interest in the treatment of PTSD and complex trauma, using a non-judgmental, person-centered approach, and I am trained in a wide range of treatment modalities.

I am a creative and optimistic person who thrives on connection, and on creating a positive, supportive, and enjoyable therapeutic alliance.

I believe that the strength of the therapeutic relationship predicts good therapeutic outcomes, and I use evidence-based therapeutic modalities, along with my natural curiosity and enjoyment of human connection, to foster hope and improve my client's mental health and functioning.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
