About Lianne
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and the kind of overwhelm that can build up quietly over time. I also support parents, and adults and young people with ADHD, autism, and related differences. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches, tailored to what each person actually needs, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Whatever brings you to therapy, I work to create a space where you feel genuinely understood, so the real work can happen. I see clients in person at my practice in St Ives and via Telehealth across Australia. Reaching out can feel like a big step, and I genuinely welcome enquiries- even if you're not quite sure yet. You're welcome to get in touch to see whether we might be a good fit.
