Hi, I’m Bliss.

Principal practitioner, psychophysiologist and perpetual student, The Togetherness Project

From our clinics in Melbourne (VIC) and Fremantle (WA), I support families, carers, and individuals navigating mental health, neurodiversity, and eating disorders. I offer QEEG-informed neurotherapy (brain mapping + gentle neuromodulation) alongside family therapy—evidence-informed care with non-medication options where preferred.

I know family takes many forms—family of origin, choice, or creation. My mission is to provide practical tools, compassionate guidance, and science-based strategies that help people feel calmer, clearer, and more like themselves.

How I work

Assess → Plan → Support: QEEG brain mapping to understand what’s happening beneath the symptoms; a tailored neuromodulation plan to support regulation, mood, sleep, and focus; and relational, trauma-aware family therapy.
Relational first: I meet you where you are—neuro-affirming, strengths-based, and paced to your capacity.
Skills for home: Communication, co-regulation, and practical strategies for carers and support networks across eating disorders (AN, BN, BED, ARFID, OSFED), mental health, and neurodiversity.

My Experience

I bring both professional expertise and lived experience. I’ve held leadership roles in public mental health and state-wide initiatives, and I’ve walked this path as a carer and as a neurodivergent (AuADHD) clinician. As a parent of five, I’ve supported my kids through diagnoses and treatment—including Anorexia Nervosa, ADHD, and Autism. These experiences don’t just inform my philosophy; they’re embedded in my practice.

I also contribute to governance and sector development through board roles with ANZAED, Tandem, and the NEDC Steering Committee, with a focus on improving care, carer support, and clinician training.

If you’re unsure what comes next, let’s talk. We can explore your options and map a way forward—together.

Talk soon, Bliss

TESTIMONIALS

From a Mum:

"You have been so informative, caring, warm, funny and encouraging. My brain and emotions have been given a big work out. You have opened the way to new ways of thinking, listening, communicating and being and left me in a stronger place. You have given me hope , resilience and new ways for our family to connect. "
From a Mental Health Clinician

" Thank you for everything- absolutely changed my ideas/beliefs (which, fortunately, I always kept to myself ! ). I can now understand better what happened to my Mum. Providing education for the carers is always time well spent. :) Thanks again.
From a Mum and Dad:

"Provided perspective, new learnings and frameworks to help us understand our role as carers better, helped us to relieve the pressure from ourselves; helped to know we are not alone and to hear stories of recovery. We left feeling re-energised and heard."
From a Lived Experience Supervisee:

"Being a highly empathetic person is an asset in the work that I do but can also take it’s toll when listening to many stories of grief, loss and trauma. LE supervision with Bliss has given me practical and valuable tools to ensure that I can protect myself from the impact of the work and therefore continue to do it well with the families that I work with. The lived experience connection is invaluable as Bliss understands first hand the impact of LE work and it therefore feels very safe sharing any pressure points with her ".
Carer, Melbourne

“Bliss has made such a difference—not just for my son, but for our whole family. The combination of Neurotherapy and family support helped us understand how stress and regulation affect everyone in the household. We now have tools to stay calm and connected, even in difficult moments. It’s been a truly transformative experience.”
Client, Age 42

“After years of feeling constantly on edge and mentally drained, Neurotherapy helped me experience what calm actually feels like. The sessions were relaxing, and the feedback from my QEEG helped me understand myself in a completely new way. I feel clearer, more focused, and more resilient in everyday life. It’s been genuinely life-changing.”

Bliss is awesome. If you are looking for someone who is damn good at what they do and knows what they are talking about. Who listens to your experience, what you need help with. Who can then bridge the gap between her knowledge and what you are working through. I would say you have found the right person.
