Workplace injury
SIRA-approved practitioner

Experiencing a workplace injury, whether physical or psychological, can be overwhelming and in some cases highly traumatic. You don’t have to navigate it alone. As a SIRA-approved health practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychological care to support your recovery.
If you have been injured at work, you may be eligible for benefits through the NSW workers compensation scheme or the Commonwealth Comcare scheme, which may cover psychological treatment. Injured workers are entitled to choose their psychologist, provided the psychologist is SIRA approved.

Your doctor provides a workers compensation medical certificate and recommends psychological care.

We work together on a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

You recover, rebuild and return to work and daily life with confidence.

Sports performance coaching
Australia and New Zealand
Supporting the whole athlete: mind, body and beyond
One of my core professional passions is working with athletes. Sport has been part of my life from a young age, and my athletic journey led me to represent Malaysia internationally. Since retiring from international competition, I have found a new challenge in trail running and ultramarathon racing.
My work with athletes is holistic and integrative, embracing both performance goals and overall wellbeing. Whether an athlete is managing body image concerns, navigating the pressures of competition or balancing sport, study, work and life, I support them to build mental clarity, emotional resilience and self-compassion.
EXPERIENCE INCLUDES
One-on-one coaching with athletes in athletics, gymnastics, dance, figure skating, swimming, rowing and water polo; mental performance and wellbeing workshops for sport aerobics and gymnastics clubs; and a two-year performance program, co-developed with coaches and educators at an independent school, for high-performing students in sport, music, dance and theatre.
I also provide clinical support to FISAF Australia’s Wellbeing Working Group, a community-led group supporting the wellbeing of athletes, coaches and supporters nationally.
Athletes are more than their achievements. When their whole selves are seen and supported, they can thrive in sport and in every area of life.
Common questions
What is sports performance coaching?
Sports performance coaching focuses on the mental strength, resilience and mental processes that improve performance. Sessions help athletes build skills such as focus, confidence, goal-setting, motivation and resilience. The emphasis is forward-looking, targeting outcomes such as refining technique, managing pressure, returning to sport after injury or achieving peak performance.
How is it different from psychological therapy?
Coaching sessions rarely explore deeper psychological concerns. Therapy focuses on assessing and treating psychological, emotional or behavioural difficulties that affect overall wellbeing or daily functioning. It may involve diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, working through past trauma, and strengthening relationships and coping strategies.
