Meet Alisha, a nurturing psychologist devoted to helping children, young people, and families navigate life's challenges together. She creates a safe, supportive space where children feel understood, parents feel empowered, and families become more connected.

Alisha has worked extensively within Queensland Health, supporting young people and caregivers through emotional and behavioural challenges including attachment difficulties, complex trauma, emotion regulation, anxiety and neurodiversity. She believes every child has a unique story, and works to understand challenging behaviours by exploring the emotions beneath them.

Her approach is collaborative and developmentally informed, tailored to each child's strengths and needs. Drawing on dyadic and relationship-based interventions, along with Theraplay-informed and play-based approaches, she strengthens the connection between children and caregivers while building emotional awareness, confidence, and practical coping skills.

Alisha believes strong relationships are fundamental to healing and growth. She values parents as essential partners in therapy, helping them understand their child's emotions and behaviours while building practical strategies for everyday life. It's a privilege for her to help children recognise their strengths, and she loves seeing families grow in confidence and connection.

Outside the clinic, Alisha enjoys family time, reading, bush walks, and staying active. A passionate animal lover, she shares her home with a dog, cat, two bearded dragons, six chickens, and a tree frog named Jeremiah.
