Lisa Abraham

Lisa is a clinical psychologist with a passion for helping people live more meaningful and fulfilled lives.
"My style is relaxed and down to earth to ensure you have a comfortable, non-judgemental space to explore your inner thoughts and emotions.

I will work collaboratively with you to enhance your self-awareness and confidence in pursuit of your goals. I am skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of adults and adolescents with a wide range of mental health concerns including stress, low mood, depression, anxiety, self-harm and emotion regulation difficulties. I have significant experience supporting people living with chronic physical health conditions.

I will take the time to understand your needs and preferences in therapy, drawing from a range of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy. I use a strength-based approach which emphasises individuals’ resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity.I completed a Master of Psychology (Clinical Psychology) from Western Sydney University and hold undergraduate qualifications from the University of New South Wales, Macquarie University and Monash University.

I am a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), Australian Clinical Psychological Association (ACPA) and an Adjunct Fellow at Western Sydney University.  I am also a Board Approved Supervisor and provide supervision services to psychology trainees and registrars."

Outside of work Lisa enjoys the simple things in life like reading, cooking, beach time and spending time with my family and pets.

Kylie Betts

Kylie is a clinical psychologist with a breadth of experience and wealth of knowledge supporting clients across the lifespan
"As a clinical psychologist I enjoy working with adults seeking to achieve a meaningful and valued life for themselves. My approach is respectful, collaborative and flexible with the aim of helping clients to articulate their concerns, identify strengths and develop skills to manage life’s challenges.

I utilise strengths focused approaches including Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to assist clients in achieving their goals. I completed a Master of Psychology (Clinical) from the University of Canberra with postgraduate and undergraduate studies at the University of Canberra, Charles Sturt and Southern Cross Universities.

My experience in health services in NSW and ACT involved working with people struggling with trauma, substance use, and mental health concerns as well as physical and cognitive difficulties and involvement with the criminal justice system. I have experience providing clinical supervision and professional development with peers, psychology registrars and multidisciplinary teams and in conducting psychological and cognitive assessments.

Over the last few years, I have enjoyed working with adults across the lifespan in addressing the challenges of daily life, from grief and loss to anxiety, depression, health concerns, life changes and neurodiversity".

Outside of work, Kylie enjoys the rural and coastal life with her family and lazing in the hammock when she can.

Jodi is a clinical psychologist with a special interest and training in supporting first responders / emergency service workers.
"Over the years my experience  in treating adults impacted by trauma has lead me to refine my skill set and develop a special interest in working with first responders and emergency service workers. I am familiar with WorkCover and return to work services. I follow the Expert Guidelines: Diagnosis and treatment of post - traumatic stress disorder in emergency service workers, produced by the Black Dog Institute, and will work collaboratively with your treating teams including psychiatrist, GP, case manager and recovery partners.

NSW Police officers may access services under the Police NSW “Early Access Treatment Initiative (EATI)” https://www.police.nsw.gov.au/about_us/wellbeing_support_services - EATI reimburses out-of-pocket expenses for psychological support received from an eligible allied mental health service provider under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. It is a confidential program, independent to Workers Compensation, available to all NSWPF employees.

Fire and Rescue NSW employees may also be eligible for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses for psychological support under a Mental Health Treatment plan.

In addition to my private practice work, I consult for the NSW Fire and Rescue Service, serve as a guest lecturer at Southern Cross University, and have a background in working with non-profit organizations. I completed my early training with QLD Health at The Prince Charles Hospital and the Brighton Brain Injury Service (previously Jacana).

My training to provide EMDR therapy was completed via the EMDR Institute Australia and New Zealand Inc, and I am currently an associate member of EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA)".

Outside of work Jodi is either practicing ballet, barracking for the St George dragons or enjoying a coffee in the sun somewhere, contemplating where the dragons have gone wrong since the glory days of the 1960's.
