20 years professional experience in clinical and sporting arenas.

Kim is a Clinical Psychologist with more than twenty years’ experience in both clinical and sport settings. She has worked in correctional facilities and inpatient psychiatric units in Australia, the UK and the USA.  She was the Team Psychologist for the Fremantle Dockers AFL Club for ten years although now works exclusively in private practice, where she continues to consult to the AFL Players’ Association providing support for both current and past AFL and AFLW players. She has been a part of the AIS MHRN since its inception.

Kim aims to develop genuine and meaningful connections with her clients. She has a thorough understanding of elite sporting environments and the complex pressures that athletes face, but also works with non-athlete clients.  She is experienced with issues more specific to sport including anxiety relating to performance and selection, adjustment to injury and return to play, transition into and out of an elite environment and pain management. She is also skilled in working with clinical presentations including anxiety and depression, sleep disorders, trauma, eating disorders and substance use.  From a therapeutic perspective she utilises a variety of evidence-based approaches including cognitive-behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness and mindfulness-based CBT, brief solution focused therapy, as well as clinical and sports hypnosis. She has a keen interest in neuroscience and utilizes a brain-based approach in her practice.

Her clinic is very centrally located in West Perth and is wheelchair accessible.

“A designated Mental Health Referral Network of skilled and experienced psychologists is imperative for ensuring the highest level of psychological support and care for elite athletes and I am privileged to be a part of that group”.
