Counselling & Intervention

At Willow Psychology, we provide compassionate, evidence-based counselling for children, adolescents, and adults. We support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and other concerns that may be impacting their wellbeing.

We are passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals through affirming, strengths-based care tailored to their unique experiences and needs.

Our collaborative and person-centred approach focuses on helping clients better understand themselves while building practical skills to manage life's challenges. This may include developing emotional awareness, strengthening emotion regulation, enhancing coping strategies, building resilience, and increasing confidence in everyday settings.

At Willow Psychology, we aim to create a safe, supportive space where every person feels understood, empowered, and equipped to thrive.

Supervision

We provide professional supervision for early career psychologists, provisional psychologists, and psychologists undertaking the Educational and Developmental Psychology registrar program. Our supervision offers a supportive and collaborative space to strengthen clinical skills, develop professional identity, and build confidence in evidence-based practice. Emphasising reflective practice, ethical decision-making, and professional growth, supervision is tailored to individual learning goals and stage of development, helping psychologists navigate the complexities of clinical work and progress in their careers.

We have experience supporting psychologists working with mood disorders, neurodiversity, trauma, and completing neurodevelopmental and psychoeducational assessments.

Prior to engaging in supervision, we provide a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation with prospective supervisees to determine the appropriateness of the supervisory alliance.
