Meet Grace

Grace is a genuine, warm, and compassionate therapist. She creates a safe and supportive space for her clients to process life’s hardships and empowers them to enact meaningful change. She is passionate about providing evidence-based care that is collaborative and client centred. Grace draws upon various therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy (ST), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Mindfulness-based interventions.

Grace is a Clinical Psychology Registrar who completed her Master of Clinical Psychology at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). She has experience working with adults, young adults, children and families in a variety of settings. Within public health Grace has worked with anxiety and depression, intellectual disabilities, stroke, and functional neurological disorder presentations. Having worked at a university psychology clinic, she also has experience working with social anxiety, generalised anxiety, PTSD, depression, identity and relationship challenges, neurodiversity including ADHD, and concerns specific to LGBTQ+ clients. Further, Grace has worked with families to address behavioural concerns in toddlers during her time at a family-child behaviour research clinic.

Grace enjoys working with clients from culturally and religiously diverse backgrounds, and it is important to her that people of all backgrounds are able to receive professional, ethical and respectful treatment. With that in mind she is able to offer evidence-based mental health care that is faith informed for clients that are specifically seeking this approach.

In her spare time, Grace loves tending to her house plants, trying out new recipes, and watching reality television. She also enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and exploring Sydney’s cafe and restaurant scene.
