She has completed additional studies in adolescent and young adult health and wellbeing / health promotion and particularly enjoys supporting young people.
Throughout her training, Rhiannon has gained extensive experience working and living in rural and remote communities.

Areas of Focus
I provide support for a broad range of concerns, including:
- Eating disorders and disordered eating
- Mood and anxiety difficulties
- Neurocognitive and neurodevelopmental concerns
- Psychometric assessment and diagnosis
- Personality and complex mental health presentations
- Gender, sexuality, and identity-related issues
- Rural-specific stressors and life-context challenges
I also offer therapeutic and assessment services for clients navigating life transitions, identity questions, or long-term stress.
What You Can Expect Working With Me
I draw from a range of evidence-based therapeutic models — including CBT, ACT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Mindfulness-Based approaches, and Motivational Interviewing — to meet each person’s unique needs.
My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space. I believe in working collaboratively, respecting your lived experience, and tailoring therapy at a pace that suits your life and context.
