About

Hi I'm Lily, a registered psychologist, children's author, and the proud owner of Brightlane Therapy. I love helping children make sense of big feelings in ways that are engaging, practical, and even a little fun. Whether it's through therapy, assessments, or storybooks, my goal is to give children and families the confidence and tools they need to navigate life's challenges.
 

I hold a Master of Professional Psychology from Macquarie University, a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours), and a Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice from Griffith University. I have experience working across private practice, schools, and community settings, supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families.

I have a special interest in supporting children and young people experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, neurodivergence, learning challenges, and behavioural concerns. Using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and attachment-informed interventions, I work collaboratively with families, schools, and other professionals to help children build resilience, confidence, and practical coping skills.
 

Alongside my clinical work, I am passionate about creating therapeutic resources that make psychological concepts easy for children to understand. I am the author of a growing collection of evidence-based children's books, each available in both a Children & Family Edition and a Therapist Edition. The therapist editions include practical activities, worksheets, psychoeducation, and intervention guides designed for psychologists, counsellors, teachers, and allied health professionals. Through Brightlane Therapy and my books, my mission is to make evidence-based mental health support engaging, accessible, and empowering for every child and family.
