Dr PhD Schlodder, PhD

Clinical Psychologist

“I have been registered and practicing for 35 years, and have experience in working with all age groups and couples with various psychological problems.”

About Me

I offer seasoned support for individuals and couples navigating life's complexities. With 35 years in practice, I help people of all ages explore various psychological concerns. My approach provides a space where you can feel truly heard, offering a calm and consistent presence. Clients appreciate this broad, experienced perspective, tailored to their unique needs. We can work together to find clarity and effective ways forward.

Approach

Sessions tend to move at a steady, unhurried pace where your story sets the direction and we notice patterns together. I offer face-to-face appointments in Bathurst and online, working in English to keep access straightforward. Through gentle exploration of feelings, relationships and practical choices I blend reflective listening with focused problem-solving, and I support clients between sessions when navigating systems or decisions. This way of working often helps those managing life transitions, anxiety or shifting mood to find clearer steps forward.
