Emma enjoys working with animal assisted therapies. She currently works with two 'early career' therapy dogs, gold labs Henry & George. Based regionally in Ballarat, Victoria, Emma is passionate about providing welcoming therapy spaces for individuals who may find it challenging to engage with a mental health professional, including adult males, elderly clients and veterans. Emma is also able to provide a range of psychological assessments and enjoys working in a Schema therapy modality whilst borrowing strategies from other modalities including cognitive and dialectical behaviour therapies. Emma collaborates closely with clients to agree on the best treatment path for their needs and goals. She's a straight shooting psychologist who empathises with clients without judgement and wants to see them move forward positively in line with their own values and life goals.
