Meet Kelly

Clinical Psychologist and Founder of Grevillea Grove Psychology

(she/her)

Grevillea Grove Psychology started in 2026, but my journey as a psychologist started long before that. There are so many reasons as to why I became a psychologist. I was driven by curiosity and compassion - to understand myself, to understand others, and to be a genuine presence to help people have that curiosity and compassion for themselves.

I’ve spent over a decade working alongside children, families, and carers in the child protection space across both government and not-for-profit sectors. This work has deepened my understanding of the universal experience of stress and adversity, giving me a profound respect for the complex paths we all navigate. Above all, it reinforced that real healing doesn't happen in isolation—it happens through safe, meaningful relationships.

My practice is built on the understanding that while we often come to therapy to "fix" a problem, the real shift happens when we feel truly seen, heard, and safe. This means meeting you where you are, with warmth, acceptance, empathy, curiosity, and a good sense of humour.

My approach is a balance of clinical expertise and a compassionate, down-to-earth presence. Grounded in an ongoing interest in neuroscience and how our brains and nervous systems adapt to trauma, I use this understanding to help demystify stress and foster genuine safety. Whether I am working with an adult processing complex trauma or a child discovering their world through play, I bring my true self to every session. I believe therapy is about far more than just a diagnosis or a set of coping strategies—it is a space to truly understand yourself and build meaningful change.
