Meet The Team

Edwina is a proud queer Tamil (தமிழ்) person who has been working as a psychologist since 2020.

She is a clinical psychologist and board-approved supervisor with AHPRA and is committed to advancing psychological understanding in a neuroaffirming, culturally applicable way.

In addition, she is currently completing a PhD in Clinical Psychology, exploring the history of psychological wellbeing within the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora and how it is understood and impacted by post-migration and the Sri Lankan civil war.

Edwina speaks Tamil (somewhat fluently). She has lived experience of ADHD.

Edwina works with adults across the lifespan and primarily works with those experiencing symptoms relating to anxiety, depression, grief, workplace stress, family conflict, gender affirmation and racial and sexual trauma.

Edwina has extensive experience working with survivors of child sexual abuse and religious abuse, and with those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals.

She has a special interest in South Asian mental health and complex trauma (cPTSD) and is trained in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) and schema therapy. She also uses eye movement desensitisation reprocessing (EMDR) and has a special interest in relational integrative EMDR and parts.
