Alex trained as a clinical psychologist in Australia and has spent the past five years working across public health Child and Adolescent Mental Health Teams in Australia and Europe. Her work has included supporting infants, young children and adolescents across a range of developmental stages, presentations and life circumstances.

Alex takes a whole-system approach to psychological care, recognising that children and young people develop within a network of important relationships and environments. She therefore values working collaboratively with parents, caregivers and schools alongside the young person, where appropriate. By considering the wider context of a child’s life, Alex aims to create meaningful and sustainable change that supports not only their emotional wellbeing, but their ability to thrive at home, at school and in their relationships.

She has a particular interest in early childhood development and attachment, and enjoys thinking about how early relationships and experiences can shape the way children understand themselves and the world around them. Alex draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, compassion-focused therapy and systemic approaches, tailoring these to the individual needs, developmental stage and goals of each young person and family. She believes therapy works best when it is collaborative, flexible and grounded in the unique experiences of the child and the people who care for them.

Alex particularly enjoys the variety that comes with working across developmental stages, from supporting the earliest foundations of emotional development in infancy and childhood through to helping adolescents navigate the increasing complexity of identity, relationships and independence.

Outside of psychology, Alex enjoys visiting galleries and museums. Since relocating to Europe and, more recently, the Netherlands, she has loved exploring its rich artistic and cultural history. She is particularly interested in the ways art captures human experience, emotion and relationships,  interests that complement her curiosity about people and the different ways we make sense of ourselves and the world around us.
