About me

My practice
We all want the happiness and fulfilment that comes from having more love and connection in our lives. To experience more love and connection you need the right skills and knowledge.

At Think Better, our mission is to teach individuals and couples the knowledge and skills to create happy, healthy relationships – from the inside, out.

Amy is a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Relationship Therapist and Educator known for her warmth, humour and extensive knowledge of relationship patterns. In addition to her current therapeutic work, she has worked across many sectors facilitating emotional intelligence and relational skills training for corporate organisations, government and emergency services.

She has taught trainee Counsellors relational and communication skills for the Australian College of Applied Psychology and trained as a mindfulness teacher. Following a love of philosophy and mindfulness, she spent four years studying with senior Buddhist monks and nuns, locally and internationally. She was one of the first laypeople in Australia to be invited to teach love and compassion practices for one of the largest Buddhist organisations in the world.
