About me.
Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist with a warm and authentic approach. My aim is to make you feel safe, heard and understood and to help you make changes that reduce symptoms and enrich your life.
I see adult clients (18+) with concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress and trauma. I like to tailor therapy to each individual, using Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. I try to keep therapy conversation casual and always works with you to come up with goals for therapy.
I have completed a Master in Clinical Psychology at Griffith University and I am registered with the Psychology Board of Australia, as well as a member of the Australian Psychological Society. Lina is also a Board-Approved Supervisor and can provide supervision for psychology postgraduate students. I am originally from Sweden.
