Romy is a qualified clinical and developmental psychologist. She holds a Masters degree in Psychology internationally and obtained Cum Laude of her class. She developed a significant private practice for the past 21 years focusing her energy on work with adolescents, adults and couples with a range of concerns.

To come for therapy is a very important decision. Whether you are seeking therapy in the spirit of exploration, because of a curiosity about yourself or your relationship or because something in your life is not working, or causing you undue anxiety or depression, therapy aims to provide a confidential space in which any area of your life can be thought about. Romy’s practice focuses on providing therapy for stress; physical, sexual or emotional abuse; loneliness or isolation; nightmares or disturbing dreams; traumatic events; anger management; grief, loss or bereavement; chronic Illness; major transitions (retrenchment, the end of a relationship, mid-life crisis); sexual problems or concerns; gender concerns; self-destructive or self-harming behaviour (cutting); eating disorders and body image disturbance. She also has a wealth of experience working with couples and does a great deal of relationship counselling. Please feel free to call the clinic or request to have a chat with Romy if you have any questions or want to enquire about couple/marital therapy.. Also note that Medicare does not offer a rebate for couple therapy. Romy is not able to provide reports for court, for academic exemption or for insurance purposes. |
