Julieanne is a registered Psychologist with a warm, open and collaborative style. She adopts a client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring her approach to suit the needs, pace, and presentation of those she works with.
She believes that everyone can grow, and is passionate about utilising individuals’ unique strengths and values to help her clients achieve their goals. Julieanne strives to create a safe and open space for those she works with, where individuals and families can explore what they want, set goals, and work towards these goals at their own set pace.
It is important to Julieanne that her clients walk away from sessions feeling heard, safe, and respected. Likening the therapeutic relationship to a partnership, Julieanne works collaboratively ‘with’ her clients to support them to support themselves.

Becca Johnson
I work with children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and the impact of trauma. I have a special interest in parenting, and supporting parents in becoming the best parents they can be.
Parenting can often be difficult when your own childhood was less than ideal, and often we need help to understand how our own experiences can play out in our relationship with our children.
I use a variety of trauma based psychological approaches that are tailored to meet your indivitual needs, helping you move towards overcoming trauma, anxiety, depression and related issues.
