About me
*** From December 2024 I will be on maternity leave and will not have capacity for new clients until at least late 2025. I will not be monitoring my emails or phone regularly***
I'm Thérèse (she/her), a psychologist based in Spring Hill, Brisbane. I earned a bachelor's degree with Honours in Psychological Science from the University of Queensland and a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Griffith University. Additionally, I am a board-approved psychology supervisor (STAP trained) and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS). I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan and derive great satisfaction from witnessing my clients make meaningful changes to enhance their long-term mental health and wellbeing.
Outside of work, you'll typically find me practicing yoga, going to the park with my family, enjoying picnics, daydreaming about travel, and preventing my toddler and dogs from wreaking havoc on household items.
