Ashleigh is a dedicated provisional psychologist who recently graduated with a Masters of Professional Psychology from the University of Southern Queensland.

With a solid foundation in psychology and a wealth of practical experience, she brings a compassionate and collaborative approach to the field.

Previously, Ashleigh has served as a youth worker and case manager in out-of-home residential care settings, working closely with children and adolescents. She has also contributed in areas of complex mental health, offering support to clients across the lifespan and from diverse cultural backgrounds. In these roles, Ashleigh has not only focused on client care but also played a role in supporting the mental health and well-being of support workers and primary carers.

While primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), she recognises the importance of therapeutic flexibility and incorporates elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) when suitable. Her practice is guided by the unique strengths and needs of each individual, ensuring a tailored and effective therapeutic experience. Ashleigh finds fulfilment in helping people discover their inherent value and navigate the world with newfound confidence, ultimately empowering them to live their best life.

Passionate about guiding young people and their families, she is passionate about addressing issues related to anxiety, body image, disordered eating, perfectionism, and low self-worth. Ashleigh is committed to making a positive impact on the mental health landscape.
