About Kylie
Hello!
I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist and I have practiced psychology since 1998. In 2013, I completed my PhD, which focused on the prevalence and impact of trauma symptoms in individuals seeking treatment for depression and alcohol use.
​
Throughout my career, I have worked across a variety of settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, addiction rehabilitation services, not-for-profit organisations, and private practice. I specialise in working with adults, providing evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, suicidality, PTSD and trauma, chronic pain, and substance use.
In addition to clinical work, I have held academic roles at the University of Newcastle, where I taught psychology students, postgraduate health professionals, and Bachelor of Medicine students.
I am also actively involved in the supervision and training of psychologists and other health professionals and serve as an AHPRA Board-Approved Supervisor.

I am committed to providing compassionate, research-driven care to support individuals in achieving meaningful and lasting change.
I have been awarded a Bachelor Degree (Psychology). Master of Psychology (Clinical) and PhD (Psychiatry).​
