Hi, I’m Alecia.

I am a Placement Student completing my third and final placement at Happy Minds Psychology, as part of the Master of Clinical Psychology program at Federation University. I will be working under the supervision of Sarah-Jayne.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults across a range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, trauma, stress and neurodivergence. I’m especially passionate about helping children thrive and supporting parents to feel capable and confident.

I approach things holistically, focusing on overall wellbeing rather than symptoms alone. I use a trauma informed, strengths-based approach, and believe the therapeutic relationship is just as important as the knowledge and tools you’ll learn in session. I draw from several modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Schema Therapy-informed interventions.

I hope to empower people within their own lives and help them move toward the life they want to live.
