Her journey began during her studies, where she dedicated over 12 years to a non-profit community organisation managing vital government-funded programs, including a specialized Torture and Trauma Counselling Service for resettled refugees.
Throughout her accomplished career, Mary has worked effectively with individuals and families from all walks of life – from those experiencing domestic violence, homelessness, and incarceration, to students, healthcare workers, and business professionals. Her expertise spans individual and group therapy, staff training and supervision, and program evaluation.
Mary specializes in helping clients address symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions and adjustment difficulties, to name a few. Central to her practice is a strong focus on enhancing Quality of Life, approaching each client with genuine interest, empathy, and clear communication about treatment goals and progress.
Her therapeutic approach integrates several evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Schema Informed Therapy (SIT), Person Centred Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Having worked extensively with people from diverse backgrounds, Mary has developed particular expertise in adapting these treatment approaches to align with each client’s unique needs, perspectives, and desired outcomes.
Mary maintains high standards in her therapeutic practice through client feedback, outcome monitoring, and self-evaluation. She understands that lasting positive change comes through active collaboration with GPs, psychiatrists, other healthcare professionals, community and family support.
