About Me
Approach
I have trained in a number of different approaches over my years in practice, and aim to draw from the approach I believe would best suit my clients needs, goals, and core concerns. The benefit of being trained in a number of therapies is that I remain flexible - always changing and adjusting to ensure what we do is moving you closer towards your goals and optimising your mental wellbeing. I don't believe in being rigid and sticking to an approach that simply isn't working for you. My aim is to always be open, and to have collaboration with you at the front of my mind.
My predominant therapy approaches are cognitive behavioural therapy (short term therapy best suited to anxiety concerns), EMDR (finding the core life experiences that have affected you and resolving them and the affect they have on your present life), exposure and response prevention (the most well researched treatment for OCD and BDD), and schema therapy (finding the patterns in life you continue repeating, or emotional scars that keep getting triggered, and healing these so you can live a life free of the past).

Hello, I’m Katie Waller; a Clinical Psychologist passionate about providing in depth care for those suffering with symptoms of trauma, OCD, and anxiety disorders.
Many of the people I work with have been struggling for many years before the decided to seek help, so I understand that some of the concerns you bring to our appointments may now be affecting many areas of your life, but the truth is that no one is too far gone. Everyday I see what can be achieved when someone is truly ready to make a change and get to the core of their issues.
I have been seeing clients in the field of psychology for ten years now, and it has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I hold an Honours and Masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and then went on to pursue an additional two years of training in practice and research to become an endorsed Clinical Psychologist. Since then, I have continually trained in emerging and established therapies to provide my clients an expert and tailored service.
My passion area is in anxiety and co-occurring disorders (you can read more on my website) and over the years I have doubled-down in learning as many different ways to combat them as possible. Whether your concerns are rooted in past trauma, negative life events, or ongoing symptoms that seem to have just stuck with you; I’m here to help.
I work with you to listen to your story, come to a collaborative understanding of what might be maintaining your concerns, and then we work together to learn new ways of coping or reducing the impact of past events. I am trained in a number of different therapy tools and techniques like EMDR, cognitive-behavioural therapy, exposure and response prevention, and mindfulness, that I tailor to what will suit your unique concerns. My academic journey has been enriched by extensive training and involvement in research, including my own publications.
Outside of the office, I'm just your average person. I love a good cup of coffee, long walks with my dogs, and I firmly believe that a little laughter and support on your side can go a long way when times get tough.
So, whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or just need someone to chat with, I'm here to lend an ear and share some down-to-earth advice. Your journey to a more fulfilling, anxiety-free life begins here.
I am registered with Medicare which means that with a referral from your GP, appointments are approximately $105 per session. I also accept private health and those covered by NDIS or WorkCover.
