Bethany obtained her Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology in Perth, Western Australia and since then has worked as a psychologist in both private practice and non-for-profit settings. Bethany has worked with both children and adults in supporting them to overcome a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, addiction, unprocessed trauma and abuse, behavioural difficulties and attachment problems.

Bethany uses a range of evidence based therapies in her practice, including cognitive behavioural therapy, schema therapy, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), acceptance and commitment therapy, and other mindfulness based therapies.

Bethany largely works from a holistic framework and understands the important relationship between our mental health and physical health.
