Ms Rosie Akers Psychologist

As a psychologist, I like to view the work I do as more of as a guide, assisting the people I work with to discover more about themselves; facilitating their courage to take steps toward building the life they want to lead, fostering a sense of purpose, and guided by their strengths and values. Working collaboratively to learn more about themselves and how they see their experiences, I gain a deep sense of gratitude bearing witness to the development of insight and personal growth in the people I work with. Rosie completed a Bachelor of Psychology, majoring in Japanese, a Postgraduate Certificate in Positive Psychology, and is currently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology. Rosie is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Rosie is trained in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Therapy. Rosie has worked as a psychologist for over 15 years, with individuals across the lifespan, ranging from parents and infants, young children, adolescents, to adults. Rosie has a particular interest in working with individuals who are having difficulty finding direction in their lives as well as those experiencing worry and anxiety. Rosie has worked in a range of settings, including schools, government and non-government organisations, charities, and private practice.
