About me

Charley is a registered psychologist and an active member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. With extensive experience as an adult and couples’ therapist, she is also a trained trauma expert. Notably, Charley regularly incorporates mindfulness into her practice. This helps clients find calm amid chaos and allows her to witness their transformative journeys firsthand.

Moreover, her approach is highly adaptable. Charley helps clients understand complex concepts by demonstrating her deep empathy and knowledge of their experiences. Driven by results, she employs therapies that are both powerful and safe, grounded firmly in scientific evidence.

Charley invites clients on a journey of self-exploration and reflection. This offers fresh perspectives to help them see their situations in a new light. If you are ready for positive change and open to trying new approaches, she is enthusiastic about guiding you on this path.

Furthermore, as an expert in relationship counselling, Charley addresses a range of issues. These include: blended families, reconnecting couples after infidelity, relationship imbalances, and challenges like porn addiction, sex therapy, and emotional difficulties such as anger, depression, anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and grief.

With a particular interest in trauma, Charley has successfully supported numerous clients in overcoming challenges rooted in childhood or adolescent abuse. She utilizes effective techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Compassionate and passionate about helping others reach their potential, Charley provides a safe, supportive environment where clients can process distressing emotions and acquire essential skills for a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life.
