Zipporah is a fully registered psychologist with over 30 years of experience, who holds an Order of Australia (O.A.M) honour for her work in disability and broad spectrum community service. She is the Founder and Director of Headway Therapy Online and oversees the practice whilst also providing counselling and psychological support for individuals and couples. 

​

Zipporah's expertise is in mental health, couples therapy, peacemaking, education and training; with more than 30 years experience assessing and treating a wide variety of psychological conditions. She is most passionate about working with individuals, couples and groups (i.e. families, colleagues, friends etc) through a psychodynamic lens which she combines with a range of therapies including:

​
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

- Solution Focussed Therapy

- Narrative Therapy.

​​​​

The central idea behind psychodynamic therapy is that life experiences shape the way we think, feel, and behave. This is because unresolved internal conflicts from the past, often unconscious, can continue to affect how an individual responds to relationships, work, and other aspects or stressors in their life. Psychodynamic therapy seeks to bring these unconscious patterns into conscious awareness so that they can be understood, processed, and ultimately managed.​

​

When Zipporah isn't consulting she is spending her time maintaining her commitment to family, giving lectures, speaking at events, mentoring, running her charity, and engaging in professional development; consistently enhancing her personal knowledge, skills and competencies through teaching and learning.
