Adeline believes in early intervention and is passionate about working collaboratively with clients to help them live a valued life. Her psychological practice is founded upon evidence based practice, emphasizes the whole person approach and inspired by many great minds in psychology, philosophy and science which she see as interconnected. Her clinical practice has a strong focus on attachment theory, neurobiology and neurophysiology.

She understands the impact of childhood experiences and different stages of development across life span to provide holistic care. She works with curiosity, compassion, pragmatically and creatively using evidence based practice and in collaboration with clients to provide a tailored treatment for each client’s unique needs. Adeline works best with clients who want to engage in longer term therapy to increase self-awareness, reflect and introspect, understand emotions, identify, take responsibility and change maladaptive patterns of thinking and/or behaviours to live their authentic and valued life. It is her privilege as a virtue ethicist to guide clients in the journey to live a meaningful life towards human flourishing i.e. eudaimonia (εὐδαιμονία) if this is their choosing.

Adeline has also worked across university departments and conducted various scientific research focused on vulnerable populations and authored a number of journal articles. Adeline’s doctoral thesis in clinical child, adolescent and family psychology examined the relationship between childhood trauma, attachment styles and women’s mental health including clinicians’ practices and views on supporting survivors.
