Kylie Murphy

I am an open-minded, non-judgmental clinical and health psychologist who is committed to helping clients achieve their therapy and life goals. Because the emotional wellbeing of my clients is very important to me, providing a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable sharing and working through their problems and concerns, is a high priority for me.

To facilitate the process of change and growth, I use a range of evidence-based cognitive and behavioural therapies, which I tailor to each person’s specific problems, needs, and circumstances. These therapies include cognitive behaviour therapy, schema therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy principles, cognitive processing therapy for PTSD, compassion- and mindfulness-focused approaches, and interpersonal psychotherapy.

I have treatment experience and interest in several areas including:

  • Eating and weight issues—emotional eating, eating disorders, and weight loss surgery support

  • Depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, and stress

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationship and interpersonal difficulties

  • Gender and sexuality issues

  • Adjusting to illness and transitional life changes

  • Life purpose and priorities

  • Trauma-related problems
