Welcome to White Poppy Psychology
I'm Cindy, a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience working with people stuck inside the prison of eating disorders, body shame, weight struggles, self-hated and anxiety. It's often a lonely place to be and having had an eating disorder myself during my teen years, I really understand.
Every part of you is so welcome here.
I offer online appointments across Australia to support individuals 16 and up. I also work with parents of younger people under 16, who may be experiencing these struggles.
My approach is non-traditional. Rather than treating "symptoms", I look for the root cause of suffering. What you're going through is no mistake and it's also not your fault. Much of what we do is unconscious, which is why for many of us, despite having all the knowledge, we still find ourselves stuck.
My mission is to provide a space for people to see how truly beautiful they are, free from everything that holds them back. White Poppies are laid down to signal the end of war, and I wish to extend a white poppy to you now, as a symbol to end the battle with yourself.
I invite you to use the contacts below to schedule an appointment or you can use the online booking tool to book your first session. I can't wait to see what you discover on this journey.

Weight Concerns
Eating Disorders
Eating Disorders
So many of us struggle with our weight. I'm going to guess that you already know what your body needs to be healthy. The root of the problem generally isn't lack of knowledge or even motivation or will power. But something inside of you keeps you stuck in this never ending battle.

Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are often misunderstood, with too much focus given to the behaviour and not enough to the pain inside. Having been in the other chair, I bring my personal understanding, along with additional training and a decade of experience working alongside this often silent, lonely struggle.
Body Shame
Eating Disorders
Body Shame
Do you hate looking at your body? Avoid it at all costs? Maybe you constantly critique yourself or keep altering your appearance but you're never satisfied? This can show up in so many ways such as hiding our bodies, sexual issues, avoiding romantic relationships or even keeping yourself isolated.
Low Self-Esteem
Mental Health Care Plan and NDIS
Low Self-Esteem
The thoughts never stop. You never feel enough. Perhaps there's a strong sense of something "wrong with me". This is so painful to live through every day and the exhaustion and anxiety that often comes with it can leave you empty.
Self-Growth
Mental Health Care Plan and NDIS
Low Self-Esteem
Often there is nothing "wrong" but we might experience a "stuckness" or stagnation in our personal growth or life circumstances. I support people to uncover the limiting beliefs that keep them where they're at so they can open up to receive possibility and opportunity that wasn't previously available via the old lens.
