Rhiannon is an open-minded psychosexual therapist and certified EMDR practitioner, with 6+ years of experience specialising in supporting neurodivergent and queer communities in navigating relationship issues, sexual difficulties, intimacy and trust, trauma and PTSD. Rhiannon is passionate about providing inclusive, neuro-affirming support to individuals navigating gendered, sexual, racial, neurodivergent, and cultural identities who may experience discrimination or internalised stigma. Rhiannon works with adults and adolescents over the age of 15.

Rhiannon centers consent and empathy in her practice working closely with clients to deeply explore how their past experiences, current circumstances, family background, and social factors impact their wellbeing. Rhiannon works under a feminist, trauma-informed, ecological-environmental systems framework to support survivors to thrive and enjoy healthy relationships both with themselves and others. Peer support towards queer identity and neurodivergence is an important therapeutic element that Rhiannon utilises - living actively in the queer community and with neurodivergence herself she is able to genuinely connect with others who may identify with similar lived experience.

Rhiannon's work aims to move away from binary constructs and the pathologisation of queerness and neurodiversity, instead prioritising dedicated support for people who feel they fall outside of the margins of the dominant societal group.

Rhiannon is clinically registered and insure with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). Rhiannon also holds membership with the Society of Australian Sexologists (SAS). Rhiannon is also fully certified in EMDR and an active member of EMDRAA.
