For professionals

I provide clinical supervision, consultancy, professional support and referral pathways for psychologists, mental health practitioners, healthcare providers, schools, organisations and referrers.

If you're a professional looking for supervision, consultation, training, referral information, or support around mental health, trauma, perinatal care, neurodivergence, child and adolescent wellbeing, organisational wellbeing, or critical incident response, this page is for you.

Professional referrals

GPs, paediatricians, psychiatrists, allied health professionals, schools and other referrers are welcome to refer clients to me.

Please include relevant referral information, client contact details, referral pathway, and any relevant reports or clinical background where appropriate and with consent.

For Mental Health Treatment Plan referrals, please include the referral letter and MHTP documentation.

For perinatal non-directive pregnancy support counselling referrals, a signed and dated GP referral is required — a Mental Health Treatment Plan is not required for this pathway.

Referral letters can be sent by fax or email:
