I’m Monica, a psychologist with over 12 years of experience working across diverse settings, including drug and alcohol services, forensic psychology, acute psychiatric care, and both chronically and acutely suicidal populations. Over the years, I have developed a strong interest in working with trauma, suicide prevention, and also supporting LGBTIQ+ individuals.
I take a holistic, whole-person approach to therapy, focusing on overall wellbeing and collaborating closely with GPs and other healthcare providers to ensure the best outcomes for our shared clients. I am passionate about helping individuals recover from psychiatric conditions, process trauma, navigate life’s challenges, and break free from patterns that may be holding them back.
I have extensive experience working with individuals facing a range of psychological concerns, including:
- Mood disorders (depression, anxiety, bipolar affective disorder)
- Psychotic disorders (schizophrenia – including CBT for psychosis and relapse prevention)
- Personality disorders (Borderline Personality Disorder/Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder)
- Life transitions and adjustments (relationship difficulties, career changes, transitioning to retirement)
- Stress-related issues
- Substance use and addiction
To support my clients effectively, I integrate a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Schema Therapy
Each approach is tailored to the unique needs of my clients, ensuring they receive the most effective support for their personal journey.
Above all, I strive to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients feel safe to explore their challenges, build resilience, and develop strategies to improve their mental health.
I believe that therapy is a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation, and I look forward to working with your patients to help move past trauma, unlock potential, and lead a more fulfilling life.
