Louise is a clinical psychologist with almost 20 years experience in a variety of settings covering public and private hospitals, mental and physical health. She has worked with individuals and groups throughout her career in metropolitan, rural and regional areas. Her training and early career was very much based in traditional Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with a strong background in treating anxiety and mood disorders. In the past decade she has moved to using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
She has trained extensively in ACT both here and overseas. She is also trained in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and teaches mindfulness skills to anyone willing to give it a go! Increasingly she is loving the opportunity to train and supervise colleagues in ACT. In 2012 she was accepted as an ACBS peer reviewed ACT trainer by the main ACT organisation, the Association for Contextual Behaiovural Science. This trainer status is recognised around the world.
Louise has extensive experience working with anxiety and mood disorders as well as working with people who wish to address relationship issues. She is passionate about working with women who face struggles related to different life phases, particularly fertility, pregnancy and motherhood.
She is a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), The Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA) and The Association of Contextual Behavioural Science (ACBS) and is registered to provide Medicare services.
