I’m Aimée [she/her],
a registered psychologist
offering one-on-one therapy to adults
in Caringbah, the Sutherland Shire, Sydney
and online through Telehealth across Australia.
Therapy with me is grounded in
attachment theory and trauma-informed care.
Together, we explore and heal the lasting impact of
trauma, including childhood and relational wounds,
through EMDR, and other mind and body modalities.
​
Having worked in mental health for almost a decade,
I founded The Kind Collective in 2022
to create the kind of space that feels
less clinical, and more connected.
​
Session are warm, relational, and deeply human -
a space to make sense of your emotional world,
and feel more grounded within it,
to explore experiences that have shaped you,
and create more secure and fulfilling relationships, with others, and with yourself.

All About Therapy
for attachment and trauma
The Kind Collective offers support with:
relationship and attachment difficulties
trauma and emotional overwhelm
grief and loss [including the quieter, less visible kinds]
anxiety and overthinking
self-abandonment, self-worth, and identity
people pleasing, unmet needs, and boundary setting
feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected
Take a little peek into my office...
Many people come to therapy having spent years suppressing emotions, over-functioning, or carrying things alone. Often, one of the most meaningful parts of the work we do, is finally having space to speak openly, honestly, and without judgment.
Therapy is deeply personal, and in attachment-focused work, the therapeutic relationship itself becomes an important part of healing. Whether this is your first experience in therapy, or you are returning in a new season of life, my hope is that you feel completely comfortable to move at your own pace. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable. Alongside whatever you are already holding, there may also be uncertainty, fear, or even relief.
Early sessions are a space for us to gently get to know each other. We explore your early experiences, relationships, patterns, and the ways you learned to navigate the world. You are never expected to share more than feels safe or manageable.
Together, we begin making sense of the patterns that once helped you survive, while creating new ways of relating to yourself, your emotions, and the people around you.
​​​​​Many of the patterns that bring people to therapy once made sense.
They kept you safe, connected, or functioning
- until they didn’t.
​​
People-pleasing,
Perfectionism,
Over-functioning,
High achieving,
Intellectualising,
Disconnecting from emotions altogether.
​
Staying quiet, staying small, staying strong,
Unable to set or keep boundaries.
Choosing attachment over authenticity, always.
Choosing connection, often at the cost of yourself.
​
If you recognise yourself in these words,
you're not alone..​​
​​​
You might feel at home here if you..
- feel overwhelmed by your emotions, or unsure how to sit with them
- swing between feeling like too much, and not enough, all at the same time
- feel anxious in relationships or lose yourself in them,
unsure where you begin and where others end
- long for closeness, though also feel overwhelmed by it
- feel pulled between who you are, and who you think you should be
- aren't sure what you need, or how to ask for it
- notice you've shaped yourself around others
to feel safe or accepted, or to belong.
- hold a silent grief for what wasn't there,
for needs unmet, or for what has been lost.
- feel a quiet ache for something to feel different, even if you can't name it​​
​​​
​​
If you find yourself in these words,
I promise you are not broken. Just human.
And this work isn’t about fixing you - it’s about creating the safety needed to come home to yourself.​
