Hi, I’m Ali

Director / Clinical Psychologist

My favourite thing about psychology is discovering what influences individuals to make decisions and life choices. The patterns of behaviour, thinking styles, the comfort of familiarity, and the discomfort of the consequences of staying within these familiar roads are all fascinating aspects of the human experience.

I believe that both the client and therapist have important roles in the therapeutic relationship. Your role is to bring a commitment to the process of therapy, to be ready to explore, challenge, embrace discomfort, and enjoy the euphoria of self-discovery. My role is to help you see things from different angles, teach you how to challenge behaviours and thoughts that may hinder your personal growth, and guide you through the potential setbacks and disappointments that inevitably come with change.

Qualifications & Experience

I hold a Bachelor of Social Sciences Majoring in Psychology and Spanish from the University of Waikato (New Zealand); a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology from the University of Waikato (New Zealand); a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) Honours from Edith Cowan University (Perth); and a Master of Psychology (Clinical) from Curtin University (Perth).

My experience includes working in hospitals for both inpatient and outpatient programs, government agencies, and the private practice sector.

I am registered with the national governing body, the Psychology Board of Australia (Reg #: PSY0001904684), and am a Board Approved Supervisor.
