Mrs Louise Hartwig
Clinical Psychologist
“I am psychodynamically trained, but tend to balance deeper relational therapeutic work with practical, psychoeducational and systemic approaches depending on the clients needs. I enjoy working with students and adults that are going through phases of life changes, adjusting to new careers and jobs.”
