I'm a passionate child and family counsellor who works from a strengths-based perspective and sees the potential in all my clients.

I've also trained in several parenting programs to help parents navigate this sometimes-challenging role i.e., Circles of Security, Triple P, Emotion Coaching 123.

Our Child Psychologists have special interests in neurodivergent children, anxiety, school issues and assisting parents with behavioural issues.
We can meet the needs of both children, teens and adults with evidence based approaches in a safe environment where you feel heard. We currently have immediate availability for children and teens. Our Director created Nurturing Minds due to the need for a less clinical environment and more equality in the typical patient/expert dynamic. After-all, therapy is a collaborative process and the rapport you have with your Psychologist is the strongest predictor of treatment success.
