She has worked with children across a variety of educational and care settings, from early childhood through to senior high school and university entry. As a psychologist in occupational rehabilitation, workplace manager, and Lifeline Support Worker, Alice has worked with adults from all walks of life as they navigated unplanned life transitions and mental health concerns. As part of her psychology honours degree, Alice conducted research with older adults to gain understanding of mature adults’ mental health needs and what contributes to improved quality of life and wellbeing. Using collaborative, strength-based modalities tailored to each client’s specific needs, Alice provides compassionate understanding in a warm, supportive environment. Trained in a range of therapeutic modalities including: Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Sandtray Therapy, Alice’s work is trauma informed and incorporates attachment theory, establishing a basis for understanding children’s and adults’ behaviours and thoughts.
