About me

Hi, I’m Charlotte – a trauma-informed psychologist with experience in hospital, community and educational settings. My focus is on working with you in an adaptable, curious, and empathy-driven way.

I’ve worked with a diverse range of people, and find it especially rewarding working with those exploring their identity and sense of self, healing from complex trauma. Adjusting to major life changes, or navigating life after a late autism or ADHD diagnosis. I’ve also had the privilege of supporting people from people from the LGBTIQ+ and culturally diverse communities, and I strive to create a safe, affirming and inclusive space for everyone I work with.

How I will help you

I aim to bring curiosity, flexibility, warmth and empathy to my approach – exploring with you what feels most helpful – whether that’s practical strategies for right now, or taking time to explore deeper patterns that keep showing up.

I draw on ACT, CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, and psychodynamic approaches. In practice, this might look like building skills to manage overwhelming emotions and thoughts, learning how to set boundaries and improve relationships, or exploring how past experiences shape your present. My style is warm, curious, and adaptable, with space for humour as well as depth (we’re human, after all!).

When I’m not working

I love spending time with my cheeky cats, learning new things, playing video games, exploring creative projects, and, when I can, escaping the city to spend some time in nature.

Freqeuently asked questions

You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist at Seed Psychology. However, if you’d like to claim a Medicare rebate, you will need a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) from your GP. With a MHCP, you may be eligible for rebates on up to 10 sessions per calendar year. These sessions can be used at any psychology clinic of your choice. To access Medicare psychology rebates, book an appointment with your GP and ask for a Mental Health Care Plan. Most referrals begin with 6 sessions, with the option to access 4 more after a review. Referrals can also be provided by a psychiatrist or paediatrician.
Our client care team will support you through every step of getting started. They’ll take the time to understand your needs and preferences, then thoughtfully match you with a psychologist whose approach and availability align with what you’re looking for.

When matching you with a Psychologist, we consider:
- The reason you’re seeking therapy
- Your availability and preferred session times
- Whether you’d like to attend in person or online
- The therapeutic approaches most suited to your needs
- Any other preferences you share with us
We understand that finding the right fit is important. Building a strong relationship with your psychologist can take time, but if at any point you feel the connection isn’t quite right, we’ll support you in transferring to someone new. Your well-being is always our priority.
Our experienced team of Psychologists offers warm, evidence-based support that’s collaborative, inclusive and grounded in genuine understanding. We provide individual, relationship or family therapy for a wide range of concerns. Additionally, we offer couples therapy, online therapy, psychological assessments (including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Assessments), and workshops.
If you have extras cover, private health insurance may provide rebates. Check your individual policy for coverage and claiming options.
