Body Sense Psychology
Psychologist, Master of Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Honours Psychology), Certificate in Sexology
At Body Sense Psychology, I help you make sense of how your body holds your story. Life experiences, stress, trauma and health conditions show up physically as much as psychologically. By working together, I can help you understand these connections and create pathways towards
change, healing and resilience. As a fully registered psychologist I provide a safe, nurturing and non-judgemental environment for clients from all walks of life. I have a strong focus on ensuring that I'm the right therapeutic fit for you and work towards a deep understanding of you, your story, where you are now, and where you'd like to be. I apply the latest evidence-based psychological approaches that are appropriate for your needs and goals.

Townsville is the largest city in tropical North Queensland — a military, agricultural, and mining hub built around Lavarack Barracks (home to the Army's 3rd Brigade), James Cook University, and a regional healthcare system serving a vast geographic area. The city's significant Australian Army presence creates therapy demand from military families navigating deployment stress and the emotional challenges of service life, while the broader civilian population navigates the economic cycles of mining and agriculture. Townsville University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while James Cook University's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local and regional community. Townsville's tropical climate and geographic isolation — it is the largest city between Brisbane and Darwin — mean therapists serve clients from a very wide catchment, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across North Queensland.
