Book with Unison Mental Health

Emma is a clinical psychologist who provides therapy for both youth and adults. She takes a strengths-based approach to therapy, focusing on building upon the knowledge and resources that clients already possess to enhance their sense of self-efficacy. Emma has experience supporting individuals with a wide range of psychological concerns, from mild distress to complex mental health challenges. She currently works with veterans, ADF personnel, and their families through the Open Arms and BUPA programs. She holds a Master of Clinical Psychology from the University of Tasmania and is passionate about staying up to date with evidence-based treatments. Her areas of interest include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, interpersonal difficulties, and personality-related concerns. Emma tailors her treatment approach to the unique needs of each client, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). She also acknowledges the impact of structural inequalities on mental health and incorporates social-justice-informed frameworks—such as post-structuralist Narrative Therapy and feminist approaches—into her work when relevant.
