Dr Christina Clarke

I am a UK trained Clinical Psychologist, working across clinical, research, teaching and supervisory roles since 1998, gaining my Doctorate qualification in 2005. I work predominantly with D/deaf, hard of hearing and CODA communities focusing on therapeutic work with children, young people and families. I am passionate about supporting D/deaf and hard of hearing clients and considers myself a Deaf ally and very Deaf aware - understanding how this population are affected by society's responses to them and how this in turn negatively impacts developmental and emotional wellbeing. I am hearing, have completed the Diploma of Auslan and work with professional interpreters for clients whose first language is Auslan or who prefer signing to spoken word. I am based on Brisbane’s Northside in Queensland, Australia.
