At Black and White Psychology, we provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents navigating a range of life’s challenges. Stephanie is an experienced and dedicated psychologist who is registered with the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA). She holds a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology and Forensic Science) and a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours).
Our approach is grounded in empathy and clinical evidence, ensuring you receive support tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Areas of Clinical Focus
We offer support for a variety of presentations, including:
- Mood & Anxiety Disorders: Helping individuals manage symptoms of Depression, Generalized Anxiety, and OCD through structured clinical interventions.
- Complex Emotional Needs: Providing a safe space for those living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) to build stability and self-understanding.
- Trauma & PTSD: Utilizing evidence-based techniques to process difficult past experiences and reduce their impact on your present life.
- Relationships & Attachment: Exploring individual patterns in how you relate to others to foster healthier, more secure connections.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Focuses on the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is highly effective for identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns in a relatively short timeframe.
Schema Therapy
This modality goes deeper to explore long-standing patterns (or "schemas") that often originate in childhood. It is particularly helpful for chronic emotional struggles and complex relational issues.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills
We incorporate DBT-informed skills to help you develop mindfulness, improve emotional regulation, and increase your tolerance for distress.
The first step is to send a brief email here. You don’t need to provide extensive detail, simply mention your interest in starting therapy and whether you prefer video or phone sessions. Stephanie will respond to discuss current availability for next available appointment.
Initial Consultation & Planning
Once we’ve connected, we will schedule your first 50-minute individual session. In this meeting, we’ll explore your concerns such as anxiety, trauma, or relationship patterns and determine which evidence-based modality, like CBT or Schema Therapy, aligns best with your goals for healing and growth.
