Senior Registered Psychologist

Therapy with Kristen

I hope to empower individuals to discover their own strengths, passions and goals by realising their own purpose and drive.

I am passionate about providing support to adolescent and adult individuals, especially women in the perinatal and postnatal areas of mental health and parenting. I believe creating awareness about holistic mental health is so important. I work with psychological therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Schema Therapy to assist in bringing awareness and empowerment for my clients, to make lasting change and positive improvement in their lives.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

The READ Clinic is proud to host a range of psychologists at different stages of their careers. While some are employees of our service (including all provisional psychologists) many are independent practitioners. These independent practitioners use the READ Clinic’s facilities and receive administrative support from the READ Clinic but they are solely responsible for the care and treatment they provide to their clients and as such are not accountable to or managed by the READ Clinic.
