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.
