An experienced Psychologist, Fiona has focused on providing psychological care to adolescents – as well as adults – throughout the past 10 years in her private Mornington psychology practice, operating from Luup, Mornington and Safety Beach Medical and Wellness. 

Psychology has been Fiona’s life’s work. She thrives on working with people over the age of 13. Fiona has had success working with adolescents with stress, anxiety and schooling issues. She also psychologically counsels pregnant and postpartum patients, and has two decades of experience treating adults experiencing stress, depression, workplace issues and anxiety.

Fiona commenced her career in the drug and alcohol sector which gave her experience in working with a variety of severe psychological and social issues. She then moved into vocational rehabilitation, assisting people to return to work following injury or disability. It was here that Fiona gained extensive knowledge in career counselling, retraining and job seeking strategies. Since that time, Fiona has enjoyed working in Private Practice and continues to impart her skills and knowledge to her clients with warmth and compassion.
