About Sue

Sue’s path to psychology is not a conventional one. She began her career in engineering before making the move into clinical psychology, and that background shows in how she works. She brings both analytical rigour and genuine warmth to her practice, helping clients make sense of complex experiences in a way that feels grounded and practical.

She has developed deep experience across women’s mental health, complex trauma and family violence, child and adolescent mental health from age 8, neurodiversity, chronic pain and chronic illness, and couples counselling. Her work with women is informed by extensive volunteering with PANDA and the Birth Trauma Association, as well as her own lived experience. Sue also works with NDIS, Workcover, TAC and EAP clients and is experienced in navigating the complexities those frameworks bring.

Sue works fluently in both English and Tamil, offering accessible care for clients who prefer therapy in their first language.

With children, Sue uses play therapy and art-based techniques to create a space where young clients can express themselves in ways that feel natural rather than clinical. She finds this work deeply rewarding. She notes the mutual learning that happens when families discover strengths they did not know they had.

Sue’s therapeutic style is warm, collaborative and respectful. She believes every client is the expert in their own life, and sees her role as providing scaffolding — supporting clients as they make sense of their experiences and move toward meaningful change. She can be gently directive when needed, while also allowing space for clients to find their own voice and confidence.

Her advice to anyone considering therapy for the first time: listen to the part of you that wants something better. Everything else will follow.

Sue practises from the Three Seas Psychology Richmond and Wantirna South clinics.
