Linda Davis Psychologist

I am a warm and practical individual with broad life experiences that I bring to counselling. Sometimes clients simply want an independent ear, someone who doesn’t judge them and someone who can provide practical suggestions to deal with complex problems. On other occasions clients are looking for considerable guidance on what to do. I have found over my years of counselling that collaboration on goal setting produces the best outcomes. The client is the best person to know their situation and the lives of the people around them. I bring a variety of approaches to my work depending on the needs of the individual. Linda has a Bachelor of Arts with majors in Psychology and Australian Studies and a Graduate Diploma in Psychological Studies and a Vocational Graduate Diploma in Family Therapy. Linda also has a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Hons) completing a thesis on discrimination. Linda is a registered psychologist with Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Authority (AHPRA).
