Vy is a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner and Regulation Agency (AHPRA) working towards endorsement as an Educational and Developmental Psychologist and is an accredited Tuning in to Kids facilitator.
Vy is passionate about supporting families through all stages of early parenthood and child development. She has experience working with young children with neurodiversity, intellectual disabilities, and developmental concerns, as well as with adolescents in mentoring and wellbeing-focused roles. In her current public health role, Vy supports parents navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges in their children.
Vy is particularly drawn to perinatal and early parenting mental health. She is dedicated to helping mothers understand and transform the patterns that shape their caregiving experiences, while strengthening their sense of confidence and connection with their children. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion and reflection.
Vy draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and attachment-focused frameworks such as Circle of Security. She aims to create a supportive space where parents feel understood, empowered, and confident in their parenting journey.
