Our mental health is shaped by many interconnected parts of our lives - our experiences, relationships, environment, physical health, and the ways we have learned to navigate life. When we care for our mental health, the benefits often extend well beyond how we think and feel. For example, chronic stress can influence the nervous system, sleep, immune functioning, and overall quality of life.

Therapy seeks to support overall wellbeing, build on existing strengths, and foster more adaptive ways of navigating life. It is not just about treating symptoms; it is also about having a supportive space to pause and gently tend to ourselves while gaining insight into the experiences that have shaped us and the parts of ourselves that have developed to help us cope. In therapy, we can begin to understand these parts with curiosity and compassion, and develop the capacity to step back and take a more thoughtful approach in life.

Telehealth clinical psychology support is provided for adults (18 years and over) experiencing a range of psychological and emotional challenges. This includes concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and bereavement, adjustment to life changes, and difficulties related to chronic health conditions (including pain and sleep issues). Support is also available for individuals navigating advanced or life-limiting illness. The Services page provides further information about areas of support and therapeutic approaches.

Clinical supervision is also available to psychologists-in-training and registrars.

There is no specific preparation required for your first session. It can be helpful to have a general sense of what you would like support with, but you do not need to have everything worked out beforehand - you are welcome to come as you are.

Sessions are typically 50–55 minutes in duration. Longer sessions (around 65–70 minutes) may be arranged where preferred or clinically appropriate, and will be discussed and agreed upon in session, with fees adjusted on a pro-rated basis.

During the initial phase, sessions will be focused on understanding your concerns and context. As therapy progresses, sessions may involve more targeted therapeutic interventions. This process is collaborative and guided by your needs and pace.

It may take a few sessions to develop a thorough understanding of your concerns and identify the most appropriate support and treatment options. Based on this assessment, Baby may suggest alternative practitioners or referral options if this is considered to be in your best interests.

Finding a suitable psychologist can take time, and it is important that you feel comfortable and supported in the therapeutic relationship. You are welcome to raise any questions or preferences at any stage.

We often carry something from each person we've worked with - a different perspective, a new insight, a coping strategy. These experiences and insights can become valuable foundations for future therapy.

Some aspects of the therapy process may feel familiar, such as being asked about your experiences, current concerns, and goals for therapy. Every therapeutic relationship is unique, however, and each psychologist brings their own perspective and way of working.

Clients can expect a safe, warm and collaborative approach, centred on evidence-based treatment and support. Her clinical background is outlined here.

Therapeutic modalities are described in more detail in the Services page.

The number of sessions varies depending on your circumstances, goals, and preferences. Some people attend for a brief period focused on specific concerns, while others engage in longer-term therapy to work through more complex or longstanding patterns.

It is common to pause therapy after completing a period of therapeutic work, with some people returning later for support as new challenges arise or to maintain their wellbeing.

It is not uncommon to feel unsure about where to begin. The process of therapy allows space for this, and Baby will help guide the conversation, so there is no pressure to know exactly where or how to start. Sessions can be used to gradually explore what feels most relevant, at a pace that feels right for you.

Yes. Your privacy and confidentiality will be protected in accordance with professional, ethical, and legal obligations. Telehealth appointments are conducted using a secure, encrypted video platform.

There are, however, some circumstances where confidentiality may be limited. These include situations where there is a serious concern about your safety or the safety of another person(s), or where disclosure is otherwise required or authorised by law. Any applicable limits to confidentiality will be outlined in the pre-session forms and discussed with you at the beginning of therapy. You are welcome to ask questions at any stage.
