A calm place to land.
A clear path forward
Psychology for adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout and the feeling that life has become harder than it should be.
Down-to-earth, evidence-based therapy and assessment in Bondi Junction, with online appointments available Australia-wide.
Hi, I’m Christine
I’m a registered psychologist who works with adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in repeating patterns, or as though they are using far too much energy just to keep everything together.
Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, relationship difficulties or the recognition that ADHD or autism may be part of their story - sometimes much later in life.
Therapy with me is collaborative, practical and down-to-earth. We’ll make sense of what is happening, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and develop strategies that fit your life and the way your brain works.
My Approach To Therapy
Therapy should feel like a conversation that makes space for you, not something you have to perform. Our sessions are collaborative, down-to-earth, and responsive to what you need most in the moment.
I work from a trauma-informed and neuroaffirming lens, and tailor support using a mix of evidence-based approaches including:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
-
Mindfulness and somatic techniques
I also offer assessment, psychoeducation and support for people exploring a neurodivergent identity - whether you're curious about a diagnosis, are newly diagnosed, or self-identify and just need some extra support.
Adult ADHD
Assessment and practical, neuroaffirming support for adults exploring ADHD or navigating life after diagnosis. Help with overwhelm, executive functioning, anxiety and burnout.
Workers Compensation & CTP
SIRA-approved psychological treatment following workplace injury or a motor vehicle accident. Support for anxiety, trauma, injury adjustment and a sustainable recovery.
Why Two Birds?
The name Two Birds comes from an ancient Indian parable about two birds sitting in the same tree.
The tree represents the body and the life being lived within it. One bird sits lower in the tree, right in the thick of things, responding to thoughts, emotions, stress, relationships and the constant pull of everyday life.
The other bird sits higher. It can see things from a different perspective. It observes without judgement, noticing what is happening without becoming caught up in every thought or feeling.
Together, the two birds reflect something very human. There is the part of us living through an experience, and the part of us that can step back and notice it.
Neither bird is better than the other. The lower bird is not wrong or broken. It is responding in a completely natural way. The higher bird represents our capacity for mindful awareness. It is our ability to pause, create some space around what we are experiencing, and choose how we respond based on what matters to us.
At Two Birds Psychology, therapy is about making room for both. It is not about forcing difficult thoughts or emotions away, but learning to notice and understand them without always being pulled along by them. Over time, this can create more choice, greater psychological flexibility, a steadier nervous system, and a life that feels more grounded, meaningful and aligned.
Two birds. Both welcome.
