Margaret (she/her) is a registered Psychologist and member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), who is currently completing her registrar program to seek endorsement as Clinical Psychologist.
Margaret brings a range of professional experiences to her role as a Psychologist, gained through working across several public and private settings, including primary and secondary schools, acute inpatient and community mental health settings and in private practice. As a result, she has developed skills supporting people across the lifespan and from all walks of life, including those identifying as LGBTQI+ individuals and from CALD backgrounds. Margaret supports people to address a wide range of psychological challenges, including:
- PTSD, developmental and complex trauma
- personality vulnerabilities
- grief
- low self-esteem
- relational challenges
- parenting support
- perfectionism
- depression and anxiety
Adopting a curious, non-judgemental, collaborative and person-centred approach to client work, Margaret aims to provide tailored therapeutic support which respects the personal beliefs and values of each client. In line with this ethos, Margaret harnesses evidence-based approaches which foster internal and social connectedness, agency and empowerment, and which aid the person to better understand, accept and integrate important parts of themselves, so that they may develop self-led ways of interacting with their internal world. She is trained in the use of a variety of treatment approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Practice, Polyvagal Theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In particular, she holds a strong passion for supporting clients using an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach.
Margaret works with people across the lifespan, and she has a particular interest in working with adolescents and young adults. She is available to consult on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at Bluff Road Psychology.
