Welcome to White Poppy Psychology
Hello and welcome to my little space on the internet, perhaps it's not just a coincidence you're here!
My name is Cindy, I'm a clinical psychologist, registered with AHPRA and member of the Australian Psychological Society, offering psychology sessions online via telehealth (secure video or phone), across Australia. I work with adults and adolescents aged 16 and up.
So many of us are struggling with the feeling of everything being "too much". I work with people struggling with overwhelm, emotional burnout, chronic stress and physical health problems that allude doctors tests (i.e. stress response of the body). These pain points are often silent and many try their best to mask the pain and carry on. Unfortunately this adds more weight. You deserve to have your pain seen and understood.
This pain and in some cases trauma, can also manifest in the following areas that I work within:
- Eating disorders and body image concerns
- Pregnancy/Postpartum struggles and parenting challenges
- Highly Sensitive People (HSP's)
- Relationships/Attachment wounds and trauma
If you’ve been struggling alone or trying to pretend you're fine for everyone else, I’d love to meet you and help you understand and relieve the pain you've been carrying. It's not all in your head and healing is possible.

My Approach
From my experience supporting clients over the years, one thing I hear very often is "it feels like there's a battle going on inside me and I'm losing". This led me to the name White Poppy Psychology, as white poppies are traditionally laid down to signify the end of war. Finally being understood, validated and learning new ways of being with yourself is exactly what this feels like, the end of war and in it's place, peacefulness.
At the heart of my work is connection. I believe the foundation of real healing begins with a safe, supportive relationship where you feel understood just as you are. Many of the struggles I work with are deeply tied to our relationships: with our bodies, with our children, our work, with others, and with ourselves. We are often hurt in these places of connection, and it is also through connection that we can begin to heal.
Therapy with me is not about homework, diagnosis or ticking boxes. Instead it feels much like a warm conversation, focused on understanding and a gentle move towards the direction you want to go. I take a whole person approach and draw upon psychology, spirituality and nutritional psychology to tailor therapy approaches to your needs; body, mind and spirit.
I offer a free 15-minute chat for new clients. This allows us to check for the right relational fit before you book an appointment.
TeleHealth Therapy
All sessions are conducted via telehealth (video or phone). The reason for this is that after years of working face to face, I discovered that many of my clients thrived better in the comfort of their own home. When we have less new stimulation to attend to (for example, a strange therapy room, admin staff, different lights, smells, sounds, travel time etc) we are more able to relax and open. I encourage all of my clients to get comfy in their safe space, so please, bring your pillows, blankets, candles, warm drink, whatever makes you feel most at home.
