Mrs Louise Hooper Psychologist

First of all, I'd like to acknowledge how brave you are for considering asking for help. It's a challenging thing to do and I feel privileged to work with those who recognise the need to make change, big or small, in their lives. My goal as a psychologist is to create and hold a safe space for you to explore the thoughts, feelings and actions that are working, or not working, in your life and support you in taking steps to create a life that is satisfying and meaningful. You will do the work, but it will be my pleasure to partner with you and be your objective outsider and sounding board. Louise completed a Bachelor of Psychology, with Honours and post graduate study specific to working at universities. She is a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and an Associate member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS). Louise is also an experienced Career Practitioner, and a professional member of the National Association of Graduate Career Advisory Services (NAGCAS). Louise has completed further training in positive psychology, solution focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional Intelligence and coaching skills. Louise has experience working with a diverse range of clients including adolescents and adults. She has worked with people from a range of circumstances including those struggling with long term unemployment, living with disabilities, exhausted and stressed executives and everyone in between. She has worked in a range of settings including return to work services, rehabilitation, higher education, and organisational development consulting where she supported staff to build change, resilience and leadership skills. Experienced and skilled in working with those living with anxiety, depression, a lack of self confidence, she especially loves working with people who need to adapt to a change in circumstances, or need to make a breakthrough in their life in some way.
