Ms Emily Burton

Psychologist

“We offer psychological support for adolescents and adults, with experience in a range of evidence-based treatment.”

About Me

I offer psychological support to adolescents and adults navigating life's challenges. In our sessions, we can explore difficult emotions and develop practical, evidence-based strategies. My aim is for you to feel truly understood and to build lasting coping skills. Clients seeking proven methods to move forward will find a supportive, collaborative partnership here.

Approach

Located in Armadale, my approach brings a steady, practical rhythm to sessions that balances clarity with warmth. I work in person and online in English, pacing each appointment to suit adolescents, adults and older clients and tailoring small between-session tasks to everyday routines. Using acceptance-focused and mindfulness-based strategies alongside targeted diagnostic conversations when needed, we map patterns, try short experiments and build flexible coping habits. This way of working tends to help people navigating transitions, anxiety, attention differences or burnout who want collaborative, evidence-informed steps forward.
