Louise – Provisional Psychologist & Relationship and Family Psychotherapist

At CCT Psychology, I provide evidence-based psychological therapy for individuals, couples, children and families seeking clarity, emotional stability, and meaningful change.

My work is grounded in warmth, honesty, and depth. I specialise in mental health and psychotherapy, supporting clients to understand the emotional and relational patterns shaping their lives and to develop practical strategies that support lasting change beyond the therapy room.

With over 15 years of experience across private practice, family law, mental health, disability, and community settings, I have supported many individuals, couples and families through challenges including anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship distress, and complex family dynamics.

I hold tertiary qualifications in Psychology and postgraduate qualifications in Relationship and Family Therapy. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities including RO-DBT, Schema Therapy, ACT, CBT, DBT, trauma-informed practice, and systemic therapy. My background in behaviour support informs my understanding of emotional regulation and relational systems, but my primary focus is psychological therapy and mental health treatment.

Psychological Therapy for Adults

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, and major life transitions.

Therapy with adults often involves exploring patterns shaped by early experiences, attachment, and relationships, while also developing practical skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and responding differently to stress and self-criticism.

My approach balances insight with action. Therapy is not just about understanding what has happened, but about learning how to live differently moving forward.

Couples & Relationship Therapy

Including Work with Betrayal Trauma

I provide couples and relationship therapy for partners experiencing communication breakdown, emotional disconnection, recurring conflict, trust ruptures, or distress following significant relationship events such as infidelity, compulsive sexual or pornography use, and other breaches of intimate trust.

I work with couples impacted by betrayal trauma, where a partner’s actions have resulted in profound emotional injury, loss of safety, hypervigilance, and disruption to identity, attachment, and sense of reality. In these contexts, therapy recognises that the betrayed partner’s responses often reflect trauma rather than “overreactivity,” while also addressing accountability, responsibility, and the relational impact of the breach.

My work with couples integrates systemic and attachment-informed therapy with evidence-based trauma approaches. Sessions focus on stabilisation, emotional regulation, and containment before moving toward repair, reconnection, or informed decision-making. Therapy is structured, paced, and attentive to power imbalances and asymmetries that can emerge following betrayal.

Couples therapy is not about assigning blame or rushing reconciliation. It is a therapeutic space to make sense of what has occurred, understand relational patterns, and determine whether and how trust can be rebuilt—or how partners may separate with clarity, safety, and psychological integrity.

Psychological Therapy for Children & Families

I provide developmentally informed psychological therapy for children experiencing emotional, behavioural, or mental health difficulties, including anxiety, trauma responses, neurodivergence, and challenges with emotional regulation.

Work with families focuses on strengthening relationships, increasing emotional safety, and supporting parents to respond in ways that promote regulation, confidence, and connection at home and school. Interventions are collaborative, realistic, and grounded in the child’s broader relational environment.
