Psychology Place

Dr Felicity Cockshott

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 11 years’ experience in the field of mental health and psychotherapy. The core of my work is treating adolescents and young adults presenting with a range of psychological issues. I have worked in Senior Psychologist positions at Orygen Youth Health as well as roles at adolescent mental health services headspace and eheadspace and working in private practice.

I am passionate about gaining a deep understanding of my clients’ issues and helping them reach their psychological potential. I work collaboratively with clients  to explore the meaning behind presenting problems by understanding the links between early life experiences and how they impact on current issues. Clients are provided with a tailor-made treatment plan that targets the presenting problems and supports them in reaching their therapy goals. 

I like to incorporate technology into my practice and keep up to date with the latest apps and programs that can support my clients in their therapy goals. I believe that technology enhances our lives through expanding social connections, vastly increasing access to information and generally making our lives run more efficiently. I also believe that we spend so much time on our devices so we need to be mindful of their impact on our psychological well being by taking a balanced approach to the online space.

I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Psychodymamic approaches. To arrange an appointment please contact me on 0412 814 817.
