Hi, I'm Aimée! [she/her]
Un-ashamedly Human first, Therapist second.
I live and work on Dharawal land, on the beautiful southeast coast of Sydney.
And I am so glad that you're here!
​
I like to bring both of our humanness to the therapy space. Messiness, with no judgment. I welcome tissue-filled tears, and embodied emotion, raw reflection, and a light touch of humour. You can disclose as much or as little as you like. I don't want you to feel as though we are moving through a textbook, as we know that life is never that scripted.
​
I've worn a few different hats across my studies and career; beginning in psychology, moving through exercise and sports science, and rehabilitation counselling, and even qualifications as a personal trainer. This allowed me the opportunity of varied knowledge and experience, and appreciation of the mind-body connection, and still I inevitably found my way back to psychology, my true love, for which I am forever grateful.
If you are feeling lost, stuck, heavy, or detached, I promise you're not broken. Just human.
The Kind Collective is a space where you are invited to show up authentically, and you can trust that as your therapist, I will do the same.
I welcome you to connect with me, where we can meet this version of self with kindness and have grace while we explore how you came to be here, and where you’d like to be.
​
Feel welcome to head over to our FAQ, or reach out for us to schedule a brief intake call, to see if we are the right fit.
​
With kindness always,
​

All About Therapy
Therapy is such a personal thing, and I believe that connection within the therapeutic relationship is so important. My aim as a psychologist is to ensure you feel completely comfortable in taking your first steps [or maybe your second or third steps] toward seeking support. The first appointment itself can be daunting - it can bring a whole range of emotions, on top of those you are already holding. We spend this time getting to know each other through questions around your life, relationships, and experiences, your childhood and attachment blueprint for how you learned to navigate the world, and it is up to you for how much or how little you would like to disclose. The Kind Collective is a trauma-informed psychology practice, and feeling physically and emotionally safe with the psychologist is a core value of ours. Clients have commented on my warm, gentle, and nurturing nature, as well as my down to earth, and soft yet direct approach. I ask the tough questions, ensuring you feel safe and supported to reflect, navigate, and find the answer that fits. The journey of growth and self-discovery looks different for everyone, and we work collaboratively to break down the walls for where you are feeling stuck.
