  • Registered Psychologist

    Hi, I’m Alanah, I’m a psychologist and provide trauma informed, neurodiversity affirming and inclusive therapy. I have been providing therapy to clients since 2017. I’ve enjoyed working in rural and remote Queensland, in Acute Mental Health services with Queensland Health, with students in Brisbane high schools and most recently working in a trauma focused group private practice.

    My clinical special interests include: supporting clients who have experienced trauma, who wish to explore their neurodivergent traits via assessment and therapy, who are struggling with anxiety, stress and burnout.

    I provide therapy flexibly using several therapy modalities depending on the client and their goals. Specifically, I provide therapy informed by the following modalities: Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Schema therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy.

    I completed my psychology undergraduate degree and honours at the University of Queensland. I'm an EMDR Association of Australia certified member and Australian Association of Psychologists member. I'm also registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.

    Margiela is my wonderful Italian Greyhound who enjoys being a calming presence during some of my telehealth sessions.

    In my spare time I enjoy making pottery and cooking for my loved ones.

A little bit of history…

Racing Thoughts Psychology was created to provide online, high quality, evidence based therapy and assessment to clients’ all around Australia.

In 2017, Alanah completed a research project about telehealth services to rural and remote Australians. The project revealed that although there was a great need for web-based interventions, service providers, at the time, were reluctant to change their usual operating model. Following this research project, Alanah engaged in integrating a telehealth based program into an allied health company to promote the uptake of web-based interventions for ongoing thearpy.

During 2020, Alanah spent 8 months completing telehealth services from her small Brisbane apartment to continue her ongoing clients’ therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Coming full circle, Racing Thoughts Psychology is now allowing Alanah to continue providing support no matter her clients location.
