Meet Your Therapist

Welcome to Spill The Tea Therapy. I’m Emmie and I’m so glad you’re here.

I partner with people across Australia who are ready to trade the daily grind of survival mode for a life that feels genuinely alive. My approach is compassionate, human and actionable. No one-size-fits-all here - your story is unique, and your support should be too.

We will focus on both mind and body, drawing from a vibrant mix of proven evidence based modalities - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema and Somatic Therapy. Whether we are untangling the knots of anxiety, healing from trauma, or rewriting your relationship with food and body, you will walk away with concrete strategies to reclaim your life.

Before opening my private practice I worked with various charities helping individuals navigate crisis, addiction and complex mental health. As a non-traditional therapist with a performing arts background, I love to dopamine dress and follow joy with a sense of wonder. I believe deeply in the shining brilliance of my clients, and I am here to help you tap back into yours.

Spill the tea with me today and let’s take life one sip at a time. I look forward to hearing from you.
