Dr Carolina Barbosa Psychologist

Carolina Barbosa Psychology Northcote, Victoria, 3070

Overview

I am a clinical psychologist experienced in assisting adults with issues pertaining to depression, anxiety, relationships and/or trauma. I have a particular interest in perinatal mental health and can assist with issues ranging from fertility concerns, loss or emotional difficulties during pregnancy through to postnatal mental health and early parenting challenges. I am trained in a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Schema Therapy, EMDR, CBT and ACT. I draw flexibly from these to match each client’s needs. I aim to always show up with warmth and authenticity in the therapy room. I understand that it can take a lot of courage for clients to show up to therapy and I strive to honour that by creating a compassionate, respectful and non-judgemental space for them to explore challenges in their lives.
