Psychotherapy to move you forward

Welcome to Blacklock Psychotherapy

I believe good mental health means feeling content about half the time-and the rest of the time, experiencing the full range of human emotions like anger, sadness, and frustration. Rather than using labels such as anxiety or depression, I focus on how each person uniquely experiences life, day by day, without getting caught up in terminology.

Why Work With Me

Every therapist brings a unique lens. Mine includes experience in law, banking, entrepreneurship, and psychotherapy, providing practical perspective for life’s complexities.

Broad Perspective

Years in leadership, business, and creative roles help me connect with people from many walks of life and support meaningful, real-world change

Relational Approach

Trained in evidence-based relational psychotherapy, my work focuses on your relationships because those connections are where opportunities for insight and growth begin

Experience with Change

Having changed careers, built businesses, and moved countries, I understand both the uncertainty and opportunity that come with transition.

International Lens

Based in Melbourne and working online with clients across Canada and Australia, I bring a global awareness of how work, family, and identity shape our inner lives.

How I Can Help

Here are the main ways I can support you in your personal life, relationships, and family:

Broad Perspective

You might come to therapy with something specific on your mind; a difficult relationship, a sense of being stuck, a life or career transition, or a lingering feeling of sadness or grief. As we talk, those initial goals often become a doorway to a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we explore what’s really going on beneath the surface so you can see you and your relationships with greater clarity and optimism.

Relationships

Relationships can be both our greatest comfort and our biggest challenge. You and your partner, colleague, or close friend may want to communicate better, rebuild trust, or find your way back from ongoing conflict. Through open, honest conversations, we look at what’s happening between you and why. With my assistance with talking about the hard stuff, you will most likely gain greater ease in listening and understanding each other.

Estate Conflict

If your family is facing tension around planning wills and powers of attorney, distributing an estate, or navigating a corporate succession plan, the interplay of issues can feel overwhelming. As a former lawyer, I do not provide legal advice, however, my extensive background in estate law,  and my training and experience as a psychotherapist, equip me to help you and your family successfully navigate difficult conversations.

My Philosophy

I believe good mental health means feeling content about half the time and the rest of the time, experiencing the full range of human emotions like anger, sadness, and frustration. Rather than using labels such as anxiety or depression, I focus on how each person uniquely experiences life, day by day, without getting caught up in terminology.

In our sessions, we stay in the here and now, exploring what’s hard, what’s working well, and how your relationships support or challenge you. Clients often say they appreciate my curiosity, compassion, and the freedom to talk about whatever matters most.
There are no set agendas except what you bring. Some people use our sessions to reflect on their week; others want to revisit past experiences that still resonate, or prepare for something important ahead. My role is to listen, explore what may be happening beneath the surface, and help you find clarity and new possibilities.

Confidentiality is carefully protected*, and many people find deep relief in having such a safe, private space. My hope is that you leave each session feeling clearer, stronger, and more able to navigate life’s complexity.

Why Work With Me

Business and Professional Experience

If you’re juggling ambitious goals, demanding work, and important relationships, I understand that landscape. My background in estate law, banking, and running two food businesses gives me a practical understanding of stress, responsibility, and the pursuit of balance. I bring this perspective to help you find clarity and steadiness in complex circumstances.

Evidence - Based Relational Psychotherapy

I trained at the Toronto Institute for Relational Psychotherapy (TIRP), an academically rigorous and evidence-based program aligned with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. This intensive training, together with my prior professional and business experience and my years of client work in psychotherapy, uniquely equips me to help you understand yourself and create lasting change.

Transition and International Perspective

Change can be both unsettling and full of potential. Having led organizations, built businesses, and worked across countries, I bring perspective to clients navigating transitions in career, relationships, or life direction. Now based in Melbourne and working with clients in Canada and Australia, I’ll help you stay grounded even when life is in motion.
