About me

Hi, I’m Faith, a Psychologist who values connection, collaboration, and creating a space where you can feel truly safe to be yourself. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan in both rural and city settings, and I’m especially passionate about supporting those in their adolescence and earlier adulthood. I take the time to really get to know the people I work with and honour the unique journey each person is on. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and celebrating the small but meaningful steps we take along the way.

How I will help you

I use a compassionate, evidence-based approach that’s tailored to your needs and grounded in trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming practices. Drawing from therapies like CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS and mindfulness-based interventions, I work with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion regulation, attachment challenges, Autism/ADHD, and chronic health conditions. I believe in empowering you with meaningful tools while also holding space for deeper healing and self-discovery so you can build confidence, strengthen self-worth, and move forward with purpose.

When I’m not working

I love diving into the mysteries of our expanding universe, travelling, and spending time with the people who matter most to me.

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.
