Cassandra is a fully registered psychologist, with over 14 years experience in counselling adults experiencing a range of emotional and psychological issues. She has worked primarily in the adult mental health services and drug and alcohol fields. Her areas of interest and expertise include helping people overcome depression, anxiety problems, and grief and loss issues. Cassandra is also particularly interested in working with people around issues of managing and coping with major health concerns, such as infertility, weight management, and stress-related conditions.

Cassandra completed a Bachelor of Science (Psychology) with Honours degree in 1996 and followed her interest of adult mental health by working for several years in counselling roles with community mental health services. During this time, she also became interested in working with those clients who experienced both mental health and addiction problems. Following completion of a Masters degree in Psychology in 2006, she specialised in working in the forensic drug and alcohol field as a Senior Clinician, undertaking program management, providing supervision to junior psychologists in addition to her ongoing counselling role.

Cassandra endeavours to bring her specialised experience and knowledge of these areas into private work, combined with her interest in working with people to improve their overall well being and health. Her background is in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and motivational counselling, however she also likes the approaches of Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment therapy. Her approach is to work with people to identify their problems as they see them and tailor her counselling so that each person can make positive changes to their lives. Cassandra considers the mind – body connection important and believes that while there is often a focus on “fixing” a physical issue or health compliant (eg depression, infertility, obesity, insomnia, smoking etc) the psychological aspects can be ignored, thus making it very hard for people to manage their health as successfully as they may like.
