A Meaningful Life Is Within Reach

Meet Shelley

Clinical Psychologist, Author, & Researcher

In my life I take on many roles. I am a psychologist, author, historical lecturer, research psychologist, wife, and mother. I also have lived experience of neurodivergence.

​

My road into psychology has been long and started with my own personal development to improve my life at 22 years old. I remember at this time in my life not believing in myself and thinking that I was just dabbling in psychology as a hobby, that it would never really go anywhere. I had no idea I would go on to be a practising therapist, obtain a PhD, or a clinical masters. Yet here we are. Never give up on yourself even if it takes a long time to achieve your dreams.

Psychology Sessions (in person at Pullenvale, Qld or telehealth)

​

Please note my books for therapy are closed and I am not waitlisting clients as I cannot offer sessions in a reasonable time frame. Unfortunately, I am also unable to offer you referral options at this time. I respectfully ask you to please not contact me with enquiries for therapy or referral options as I will not be able to reply.

 

When my books are open, please note I do not see teens under 17 years and I do not do family therapy or couples counselling. I do however, work on relationships and/or parenting with clients individually.
