She/Her

Clinical Psychologist

BPsych (Hons 1), MPsych (Clinical)

Brigid is a warm, compassionate therapist who works collaboratively with her clients to deepen their understanding of life challenges and create meaningful change. She places a strong focus on the quality of her therapeutic relationships and uses a range of evidence based modalities to support healing and growth.

Brigid employs an attachment informed practice, which carefully considers the impacts of early life experiences on current issues, especially within the context of relationships. In order to best support unique client needs, Brigid uses an integrative approach to therapy. She predominantly uses trauma informed Schema Therapy and EMDR, and supports this work with Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. As a former yoga teacher and longterm meditator, she is also particularly interested in mindfulness and somatic based approaches that strengthen self-compassion and acceptance.

Brigid has experience working in a range of community and private settings with adults and adolescents experiencing challenges with anxiety, mood, stress, PTSD, complex trauma, relationships, career, self esteem, life transitions, grief, identity and body image. She is also passionate about working with members of the LGBTIQ+ community.
