Amiee relocated to Busselton from Perth with her husband and two children, in December 2018. Amiee’s private practice merges her passion in psychology and mindfulness. "I believe that life is an ongoing experience of change as we transition into adulthood, work or study, relationships, parenting, retirement and end-of-life stages. These transitions can lead us to question our sense of who we are, what we stand for, and our place in the world.”

At Mindful Living Psychology, Amiee assists clients to connect with their values and sense of purpose in order to live a meaningful life. Through the development of Awareness and Compassion, clients are assisted to re-connect to themselves, as well as the people they care about. As a result, clients can negotiate life’s transitions with an attitude of Acceptance, while also being grounded in a deeper sense of Connection to the world.

Amiee is particularly passionate about working with the transition to parenthood; helping clients to negotiate the identity transformation that happens across the parenting journey.

Amiee’s therapeutic approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Positive Psychology, Neuropsychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Therapy.

Clients you treat:

•       Teenagers and adults; both men and women

•       Perinatal mental health including; ambivalence about having children, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, transition to parenthood

•       Anxiety

•       Grief and loss

•       Adjustment to Life Transitions

Other practitioners you collaborate with: Amiee collaborates with your care team on an as-needs basis. She believes that inter-disciplinary collaboration provides holistic care for clients.
