Hello and welcome to Slow Release Psychology. I’m so glad you found me.
I’m not speaking from the wound—I’m speaking from the scar.
I’m both a parent and a wife to individuals living with Type 1 Diabetes. I know firsthand the weight of the midnight (sometimes all night!) alarms, the daily calculations, the invisible labour, and the emotional toll that often goes unspoken. And I bring that lived understanding to my clinical work.
At Slow Release Psychology, I offer tailored psychological support for Adults living with Type 1 Diabetes, Parents & carers navigating the emotional complexities of supporting someone with T1D, and Psychologists and mental health professionals seeking supervision while supporting clients affected by Type 1 Diabetes.
As a Clinical Psychologist, my approach blends evidence-based therapy with genuine empathy rooted in experience. I provide a space where you don’t need to explain the basics—we start where you are.
This is a place for real talk, sustainable coping strategies, and deep psychological support that understands the daily grind of Type 1 Diabetes from the inside out.
At Slow Release Psychology, our services are built around a deep understanding of the emotional demands of life with Type 1 Diabetes—whether you're living with it, caring for someone who is, or supporting others in a professional role.

Supervision for Mental Health Professionals
Guidance for early-career psychologists in private practice to foster competence and growth. Reflective supervision for those supporting clients living with Type 1 Diabetes, chronic health conditions, burnout, or the emotional load of caregiving.
Overwhelmed & Overloaded
The Diabetes Rollercoaster: Life with Type 1 Diabetes is constant and often invisible
The lows and the highs living with Type 1 Diabetes means navigating constant fluctuations—blood sugars, emotions, energy, relationships. It’s not just physical; it’s psychological.
Whether you're riding out a hypo, facing diabetic burnout, decision fatigue, or feeling overwhelmed by the “what ifs,” you're not alone. At Slow Release Psychology, therapy is steady, slow, and emotionally sustainable. This is a space to stabilise, re-center, and take the next step forward—at your pace. No quick spikes. Just real support for those living with T1D and for those who love someone with T1D.
Holding Space for the Highs & Lows
Supervision for Mental Health Professionals
As mental health professionals supporting clients with T1D, we often hold the tension between clinical care and lived reality.
Supervision at Slow Release Psychology offers a reflective space to unpack the emotional highs and lows—yours and your clients’—with guidance from someone who understands both professionally and personally.
I am an AHPRA Board-Approved Supervisor. I have an interest in supporting early career psychologists. I offer supervision for Registered Psychologists, Clinical Psychology Registrars, and early career Clinical Psychologists working with adults.
Providing slow release, sustainable psychological support for the Type 1 community—because you deserve reprieve.
Steady support, when you’re ready.
