Clare has extensive experience working with young people and families impacted by intergenerational trauma, disability, and socioeconomic challenges. She completed her Honours degree in Psychological Science at Bond University, including a semester abroad at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, where she studied Positive Psychology. Since becoming a registered psychologist, Clare has worked with individuals presenting with a wide range of concerns, including complex trauma, personality and mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, and identity-related challenges. She also supports clients navigating family and relationship difficulties, with a particular interest in helping people deepen their understanding of their emotions, behaviours, and personal challenges.
Clare enjoys working with individuals experiencing communication barriers within relationships and family systems, as well as supporting adolescents through life transitions such as peer difficulties, social interaction challenges, learning and sensory issues, and emotion regulation. She also works with older clients, including those experiencing grief and loss, complex trauma, mood disorders, and social isolation.
Taking a person-centred approach, Clare has a warm and relaxed style, focusing on professional and holistic care while creating a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment. She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Schema Therapy.
