About Gae
I am an AHPRA registered psychologist with over 20 years of experience, working in a bespoke private practice in Ferny Grove, in Brisbane's north west. I provide a comfortable and secure environment to strengthen psychological wellbeing and help my clients create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
I welcome clients from Ferny Hills, Arana Hills, Keperra, The Gap, Ashgrove, Mitchelton and surrounding suburbs, with telehealth appointments also available for clients throughout Queensland.
I offer counselling and therapy, coaching, and psychological assessment services.
Many of my clients seek professional support for trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress, decision-making, major life transitions, self-awareness, and self-management skill development. All the work I do is uniquely tailored to each client's individual goals and challenges.

First Responders and Defence Personnel
With extensive experience supporting individuals from emergency services and Defence, including veterans and veterans' families, Gae understands the unique pressures and lasting impact that come with these roles. Many clients come seeking help for PTSD, trauma-related issues, and the effects of intense and threatening situations. Her sensitive, trauma-informed approach helps clients process difficult experiences, rebuild coping strategies, and move toward a greater sense of stability and wellbeing.
