Claire holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with Honours and a Master's degree in Psychological Science. She is currently undertaking a Master of Clinical Psychology and completing a supervised placement as a provisional psychologist. Over the course of her studies, Claire has explored a range of mental health presentations and wellbeing across diverse populations, including emotional regulation throughout the perinatal period and childhood OCD among marginalised groups. She has worked with adolescents and older adult clients in the home and community areas. Claire takes a special interest in the unique qualities, learning styles and motivational factors of the people and clients she works with. She believes that by recognising and working with each of these assets, while providing appropriate support and intervention, people can be empowered to positively impact their lives. Claire takes a special interest in the ‘behind the scenes’ of clinical practice following her honours and master’s thesis, via her continued research on the development of different psychological interventions and specialised approaches for different populations. She has previously been involved in the teaching and research community as a seasonal academic and research assistant at both Macquarie University and the Australian National University, in the Psychopathology unit.
