Mikaela is a compassionate and collaborative psychologist who empowers clients to achieve meaningful, lasting growth. She specialises in helping individuals navigate challenges with clarity and confidence, drawing on evidence-based approaches tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Mikaela adopts a process-based approach to therapy, integrating techniques such as mindfulness, self-compassion, grounding, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. These strategies help clients effectively manage intense emotions, overcome barriers, and rediscover a sense of purpose in their lives.

With a particular interest in working with individuals who experience traits of ‘overcontrol’—such as perfectionism, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, and high cognitive or behavioral rigidity—Mikaela also brings a strengths-based approach to therapy. She helps clients embrace their potential and work toward meaningful change.

Mikaela has experience working across the lifespan, supporting adolescents and adults with a variety of challenges. Her areas of focus include neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD), low self-esteem, body image issues, learning difficulties, and mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety.

Mikaela is a registered member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA), and she remains committed to providing high-quality, client-centered care. Start date TBC in association with AHPRA registration guidelines.
