Hi, I'm Rosa 
I am a general psychologist who sees therapy as an empowering collaborative process where the client has the leading voice. I recognise that clients are unique, and their difficulties cannot be reduced to a generic diagnosis or treatment. Instead, my interventions are tailored, respecting clients’ integrity, and adopting a holistic, strengths-based, and encouraging approach.
After working in diverse settings, including schools, universities, not-for-profit organisations, employment services, and private practice; I am confident attending individuals across the lifespan and from diverse cultural backgrounds and vulnerable groups.
IMPORTANT: I focus on therapeutic interventions and do not provide reports or letters beyond the standard Medicare requirements.
Rosa's ready to help you improve your mental health.
