Psychologist

Amy is a warm and compassionate psychologist and clinical registrar who is committed to supporting individuals through meaningful and sustainable change. She draws on a range of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals.

Amy has a particular interest in the impact of trauma on wellbeing and behaviour, and she values creating a safe, collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel understood and empowered. Her approach centres on helping clients build insight, develop practical strategies, and move toward outcomes that truly matter to them.

Amy believes that lasting change is possible when therapy is grounded in trust, guided by clinical expertise, and focused on meaningful individual outcomes.

Amy sees patients of all genders, with eating, weight and shape related challenges. Amy assesses how early life experiences and attachments have shaped eating, weight and shape perceptions and patterns. She is down to earth, non-judgmental and is dedicated to building a trusting and long term relationship with her patients in their medical weight loss journey. Amy is skilled in challenging feelings of shame and worthlessness, providing safety to patients who find it hard to speak about their vulnerabilities. She takes a holistic approach, concurrently supporting patients with all kinds of challenges: work, relationships, family stressors etc. She collaborates with patients about what is most important to them and then liaises with their careteam to create tailored treatment plans.  

She draws on a range of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT, CBT-E), Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals.
