Therapeutic Approach

Mallory believes that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in effective therapy. She is passionate about providing therapy that is flexible and individualised.

Mallory recognises that every person brings a unique story into the therapy room. She believes that understanding ourselves within the context of our relationships, experiences, and environment can create opportunities for self-compassion and meaningful change. Her practice is grounded in trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ inclusive principles, and she tailors therapy to each person’s strengths, values, and lived experience.

Mallory draws upon a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-based Strategies. She also has growing interests in Schema Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and continues to undertake professional development to further integrate these approaches into her work where appropriate

Experience and Interests

Mallory has experience working across educational, community, and public health settings, supporting adults with a broad range of psychological concerns. She works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, trauma, adjustment to life transitions, and neurodiversity-related challenges.

Mallory has experience in psychological assessment and preparing comprehensive psychological reports including cognitive, ADHD, and autism assessments for adults who seek a greater understanding of their neurotype. Mallory finds assessments help to support the identification of cognitive strengths, areas of difference, and support needs, and have been central in informing individualised psychological formulation and therapy planning. She often works closely with our psychiatrists where clinically beneficial, with a strong belief that collaborative, stepped-care models provide a foundation for high-quality, integrated care.

Mallory is committed to ongoing professional development and is currently completing the Clinical Psychology Registrar Program to obtain clinical endorsement with the Psychology Board of Australia.
