Chantal is a registered Clinical Psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Chantal has a warm, compassionate and welcoming nature. She aims to provide a warm, inviting, calming and nurturing space for people to find comfort and healing from the difficulties they are facing. She understands that it can be daunting at first to attend therapy sessions, which is why she aims to make each person feel comfortable and to approach therapy at their own pace.

She considers it a privilege to be able to journey alongside individuals as they move towards healthier and happier versions of themselves. With this in mind, she takes the time to fully understand each person’s life story and what they are currently having difficulties with, in order to provide individualised support. She has an appreciation for each person’s unique life story and therefore each person’s therapy plan is uniquely tailored to best suit their unique needs and personality. From the beginning we work together to identify your goals for therapy to make sure that the time we spend together is focused on working towards your unique goals to provide you with the best possible outcomes in the short and long-term.

Chantal provides psychological support for various difficulties, whether it is due to long-term difficulties or short-term circumstances or adjustments that are impacting on your mood, your relationships, your self-identity, your ability to function in day-to-day life, or on your overall quality of life.
