Meet Renae
I am a Registered Psychologist with a Masters in Educational and Developmental Psychology and eight years experience in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of people across the lifespan. I grew up in Newcastle, and re-located to Melbourne a decade ago to continue my learning and explore a new city.
Since first registering in the psychology profession in 2018, I have worked in Melbourne and regional Victoria, gaining experience across private practice, young mental health not-for-profit settings, as well as public and private schools. While I began my career supporting adults, I have found my passion in working with children, adolescents and families to expand their understanding, resources, and strengths in adapting to the challenges in their lives.
In my clinical practice, I provide a holistic blend of:
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Skills (DBT Skills)
Mindfulness.
My neuroaffirming and trauma-informed lens also aims to provide a safe and inclusive space for both young person and parent when entering my therapeutic space.
When Iām out of the clinic, I can usually be found running, reading, learning to play golf, and trying to convince Novocastrians on the merits of AFL footy.
