Natasha is a warm, caring, and client-centred provisional psychologist who is deeply

committed to creating a safe and supportive space for individuals seeking help. Known for

her non-judgmental and patient nature, Natasha takes the time to genuinely understand

each client’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. She understands that the client is the

expert of their own life. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, active listening,

and mutual respect, ensuring that clients feel heard, validated, and empowered throughout

the therapeutic process. With a strong focus on collaboration, Natasha works alongside her

clients to tailor interventions that align with their needs and values, fostering trust and

promoting lasting, meaningful change. She brings foundational skills in Cognitive

Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and will shortly undertake additional training in Acceptance and

Commitment Therapy (ACT). Natasha’s goal is to make mental health support more

accessible and inclusive for everyone, while actively working to break down the stigma that

can prevent people from seeking help. She believes that mental health is just as important

as physical health, and is committed to fostering a culture of openness, understanding, and

support. Her special interests include supporting individuals in managing interpersonal

relationships and navigating complex family dynamics. She is also passionate about working

with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and ADHD, using evidence-based approaches

tailored to each person's unique experience. Natasha is currently undertaking her first

psychology placement and approaches this experience with a genuine openness to learn

and grow. She brings a curious, reflective mindset to her work and values the opportunity to

learn not only from her supervisors and colleagues, but also from her clients. She believes

each therapeutic interaction is a chance to deepen her skills and understanding as a

developing provisional psychologist. Natasha is trained in the administration and

interpretation of psychometric assessment.

Natasha is available to see clients who are privately funded or through NDIS funding for in person or telehealth sessions.

Natasha has immediate availability to see clients on weekdays.
