This page is for GPs, psychiatrists, psychologists, allied health professionals, HR professionals, and coaches who are considering referring a client to this practice. I welcome professional referrals and respond within one working day.

When to refer

Clients who need more than psychology alone

Clients who have made progress in talk therapy but remain stuck at a deeper level — particularly around anxiety, trauma responses, or long-standing patterns — often benefit from the addition of clinical hypnosis, which works at a level that conscious reasoning cannot always reach.

High-functioning women managing complex presentations

Women who are professionally capable but experiencing significant distress that they manage privately — burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, or the aftermath of difficult relationships — and who benefit from a practitioner who understands corporate and organisational environments from the inside.

Clients at a professional or personal crossroads

Clients navigating major transitions — career change, leadership challenges, relationship endings, or questions of purpose and direction — where the presenting concern is as much developmental as clinical, and where coaching and psychotherapy need to work together.

Clients who need an integrated approach

Clients whose presentations cross the boundaries of separate disciplines — where anxiety, identity, professional functioning, and relationship patterns are all interconnected — and who would benefit from working with a single practitioner across all of these rather than being divided across multiple referrals.

What to expect

I respond to all professional referrals within one working day. Following the referral, the client will be contacted for an initial consultation at no cost. I provide a brief written acknowledgement after the first session and am available for clinical correspondence by email. I do not accept Medicare referrals — sessions are private pay only.
