About
Hi. I'm Steph. I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist, and owner of Apapacho Clinical Psychology.
I offer a safe, supportive space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and the mind-body connection, fostering personal growth through evidence-based psychology practices. I work alongside people to build resilience and develop practical coping strategies they can use to manage anxiety and stress, build emotional resilience, find meaning and improve overall wellbeing.
Therapy Approach
I draw from therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), alongside Polyvagal Theory, and Biofeedback techniques. I aim to tailor my approach to a person’s unique needs.
Experience
I have over a decade of experience working at a tertiary Pain Management Service in Sydney, as well as working at Headspace (Youth Mental Health Service), and the Gambling Treatment Clinic at The University of Sydney. I transitioned to private practice to offer more personalized support for people to help them to lead a rich and meaningful life.
