Hello my name is Amy and welcome to Doing Our Best Psychology. 

Doing Our Best Psychology is premised on the idea that every child, adolescent and parent/caregiver is always doing their absolute best each and everyday. But sometimes, life is hard and we all need a little extra help! 

​Doing Our Best Psychology aims to bring resources to adolescents, parents/caregivers, teachers, school staff, counsellors and psychologists to support the continuous growth of children and adolescents. From the latest research and grounded in evidence-based practice the resources developed will focus on relevant topics across the child and adolescent developmental period. 

​Background information

I hold a Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Science (Psychology), Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) and Master of Professional Psychology from a New South Wales based University and relevant registration with Australian’s psychological regulatory body. 

​I have worked within the NSW public primary and high school settings supporting students, parents/caregivers and staff, meeting the needs of students. In 2020, I began working in Private Practice, working with children and adolescents. I work with individuals presenting with anxiety, depression, self-harm/suicidality, eating disorders, grief and loss, developmental and complex trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, developmental disorders and significant challenging behaviours. I have a special interest in working with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Eating Disorders. 

​My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, Play therapy, Maudsley Family Based Therapy (FBT), trauma-informed therapies, and Positive Behaviour Supports.
