psychologist who has a particular interest in supporting individuals 16 years
and older on their paths to healing from difficulties including, but not
limited to: body image issues, disordered eating, eating disorders, body
dysmorphic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, emotion
dysregulation, personality difficulties, and adjustment to loss and life
transitions.

Kaitlin has had experience working with young people and adults in a variety of settings such as the Royal Children’s hospital, headspace, Barwon Health and The Geelong Clinic psychiatric hospital. Kaitlin’s therapeutic style is guided by her values of compassion, curiousity, equality, authenticity, respect and integrity. She works with individuals collaboratively and non-judgmentally throughout their processes of change and enjoys helping them cultivate a more
understanding and compassionate relationship with themselves and their
struggles, whilst also helping them develop effective coping strategies so they
can move forward in life with greater ease.

Kaitlin tailors treatment to suit each
individual’s unique needs and utilises evidence-based therapies such as cognitive
behavioural therapy (CBT), enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT-E), dialectical
behaviour therapy (DBT) skills, mindfulness- and compassion-focused
approaches.
