Why see a psychologist?
Psychological therapy assists people experiencing difficulties with their mood, thinking, relationships, health, and other life challenges. It is a caring, professional, and non-judgemental process where individuals can discuss and explore issues that concern them, and learn better coping strategies to empower and help individuals live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

- Mood disorders, including depression and perinatal mood disturbance

In addition to Clinical Psychology, Victoria has a special interest in the area of Clinical Health Psychology, which focuses on the connection between physical and psychological health.

It can assist people with management of chronic health conditions, chronic pain, and adjustment to medical diagnoses and physical illness.
