Hi I’m Teena. I have over 26 years of practice, 21 of which as a Senior Psychologist. I have worked in both the public service and private practice, in a variety of settings including Telehealth, face to face individual and group therapy. My focus is women’s mental health and wellbeing. After 25 years of psychological practice and as a woman, mother of 4 and grandmother of 7, my interest in psychology has varied as ‘time goes by’ and includes mental and general health wellbeing, adjustment and life changes, perinatal depression, relationships, trauma, illness, grief bereavement and supporting a loved one with chronic or terminal illness. I have a caring and empathic attitude, and my passion is to watch my clients grow, and prosper, manage life’s ups and downs and accomplish treatment goals, and work toward a happy and fulfilling life. I am a strong advocate for remaining connected with our partner and relationship health. Self-care is important, along with incorporating mindfulness where we can. In my spare time you'll find me exercising (times at sunrise), skating, surfing and snow skiing and enjoying this one moment.

My Approach

I provide psychological counselling specifically tailored to meet individual needs in a relaxed, supportive and non-judgemental setting. Therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) frameworks. These approaches empower clients to develop to a greater understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and actions, their impacts, and developing new and helpful ways of responding. I also integrate into my sessions elements of Mindfulness, Relaxation Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
