Clinical Psychologists

Kirsten has a particular interest in working with couples experiencing emotional disconnection, conflict, communication difficulties, and recurring relational patterns. Her approach focuses on helping clients better understand the factors contributing to their difficulties while developing practical and meaningful strategies that support lasting change in everyday life.

Kirsten combines evidence-based therapy with a collaborative and down-to-earth approach, helping clients build insight, develop practical skills, and create meaningful and sustainable change. Therapeutic interventions are tailored to the individual needs and goals of each client, drawing from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema-informed approaches, Motivational Interviewing, and Emotion-Focused Therapy principles. Her work is grounded in current psychological research while remaining flexible, compassionate, and responsive to the unique experiences of each person.

Alongside her clinical work, Kirsten is actively involved in teaching and supervision within the field of psychology. She teaches in undergraduate and postgraduate psychology programs at the University of New South Wales and provides supervision to provisional and registered psychologists. Her academic background in behavioural neuroscience and ongoing involvement in training and research allow her to remain engaged with current developments in psychological science and clinical practice.
