Bridget is a registered psychologist with a passion for providing evidence-based psychological treatments to adolescents and adults. Bridget has experience working with a range of presentations across the lifespan, including anxiety disorders, depression and mood disorders, stress and adjustment difficulties, OCD and related disorders, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, disordered eating, and body image concerns. Bridget has a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults affected by eating disorders. As part of her Master’s degree, she completed a thesis on mental health literacy regarding disordered eating in young adult females.

Bridget aims to use a client-centred approach to treatment. No two experiences are the same, and Bridget prioritises tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs. Bridget endeavours to create a non-judgemental space in which individuals feel safe, seen, and heard, and works collaboratively with clients to empower them to reach their goals. She is proficient in multiple evidence-based interventions, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), schema therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing. She is also trained in family-based therapy for anorexia nervosa (FBT-AN).

Bridget holds a general registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and abides by professional conduct codes and standards of the Australian Psychological Society (APS). Outside of her clinical work, Bridget enjoys reading, baking, and moving her body for enjoyment through exercise such as Pilates.
