HELLO,
I'M CHANELLE
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
FOUNDER
A little about me.
I believe that life is all about authenticity and a connection to the self, others and nature. I get that some days feel heavier than others—we’ve all been there, we’re all human, and we’re all in this together. I’ve also had my share of challenging days, and I know how important it is to feel seen and heard on our healing journey. I believe we are all connected in this shared experience of life.
​
That’s why I’m passionate about creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard. My special interest lies in helping people connect with their truest, most authentic selves. I believe that when we shed our defenses and layers of expectations, self-doubt, and fear, we discover a deeper sense of who we are and what we truly value. My goal is to support you in living a life that feels genuine, meaningful, and aligned with your true identity.
​
I approach my sessions with a mix of empathy, playfulness, and a sense of humor because sometimes we just need to laugh, even when things are tough. Together, we’ll work through the challenges, but we’ll also find moments of lightness along the way.
​
I'd love to help you explore how to build your resilience, nurture meaningful relationships, and rediscover the joy in everyday life—one real conversation at a time.
What are your qualifications?
BAppSC (Psychology) (Honours); Master of Clinical Psychology.
​
What therapies do you use?
When it comes to therapy, I do not just focus on surface-level concerns. I work gently with you to explore the deeper patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape your current struggles. By addressing core issues through a range of therapies we can create meaningful and lasting change.
Some approaches I may use are:
-
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
-
EMDR Therapy
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Attachment-Theory Interventions
-
Body Based (somatic) interventions
​
What are your special interests?
Trauma, family/relationship difficulties, LGBTQIA+, attachment, anxiety, substance dependence, and identity issues.
​
In my spare time I enjoy:
All things music, food, photography, traveling off the beaten path, exploring unique places and new cultures, swims in the ocean, and a cosy night in with the pup, Rhubarb!

I'M RHUBARB
HELLO,
THERAPY DOG //
IN TRAINING
Meet The Mind Clan's therapy dog "in training". You may see Rhubarb running up and down the hallway of our Hawthorn Centre looking for cuddles and pats. When she is not busy begging for food, Rhubarb loves belly rubs, playing fetch and napping on everyones lap. She is gentle, calm (on most days) and very affectionate.
