I am passionate about enhancing the well-being of people across the lifespan. I believe that nurturing emotional health during the early years can help to lay the foundation for a fulfilling adulthood. I aim to establish a safe and supportive therapeutic environment that allows my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings freely. I enjoy connecting with people, hearing their stories, and working together to improve overall health and happiness. I believe that every person is unique, and that therapy needs to be tailored to suit the individual needs and personality of each client. Improving the lives of young individuals needs to extend beyond the therapy room, and I am keen to actively collaborate with school and outside organisations to help support my clients. I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Western Australia, and have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, adults and families. Through a combination of modalities, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy and solution focused approaches, I aim to support people to develop coping skills and build emotional resilience to navigate life’s challenges now and into the future. Over the years, I have gained experience working with diverse populations, addressing a wide range of mental health challenges faced by young individuals and the family systems that support them. I place an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship that exists between client and practitioner, as well as the evidence-based practices that drive therapy. In my work, I aim to empower people to use their personal strengths to achieve their goals, while learning new and useful skills along the way.

Life is not always easy and unfortunately part of being human means that at times we may struggle and we may suffer. My passion is to assist people through their journey, to give them skills to manage their difficulties and ultimately to help them to flourish and thrive. My name is Kellie and I am a Principal Clinical Psychologist and Director of Prosper Health Collective. I enjoy working across the lifespan with children, adolescent and adults on a wide range of difficulties. I particularly enjoy working with Anxiety, OCD and Autism. I have also gotten quite good at helping children with wee and poo problems (this is known as enuresis and encopresis). I work from the belief that everyone is unique and everyone is on their own journey. As such I draw on different treatment approaches to best match the person I am working with. My approach to treatment is one of collaboration. I really enjoy using an ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) based approach and I apply this to my own life. Connecting with values (the things that matter) is important to me and I hope that it is evident in both my clinical practice and Prosper Health Collective at large. Aside from my work I am also a Mum of 2 children and wife to my amazing husband. My family are incredibly important to me and at the centre of almost everything that I do. When I am not working you are likely to find me spending time with my family, watching my kids play basketball or out on my stand up paddleboard. I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Murdoch University and a Bachelor of Science from Curtin University. I have been lucky enough to work with people from different walks of life over the years including children and adolescents in the health department and private practice and children with disabilities. I am grateful to all the people I have assisted over the years for the lessons they have taught me.

I enjoy working in the areas of AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication), supporting non-speaking/minimally verbal children, providing parent education, improving verbal and written language skills and improving speech clarity.

I have considerable experience working with people experiencing life adjustment problems. I appreciate that there often is no practical ‘quick fix’ to a problem (if so, you or someone you know would probably have thought of it already). In our work together, I will endeavour to help you come to terms with your situation, while encouraging you take steps towards a life of vitality, using a specialist and evidence-based CBT model called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and incorporating principles from attachment theory. I have a warm, empathetic and authentic approach. I will endeavour to walk alongside you and understand your perspective, but I will never say ‘poor you’; I want to empower, not pity you. Rarely is mere pity helpful (there is a great YouTube clip by Brené Brown on the difference between ‘empathy’ and ‘sympathy’). Variety is my spice of life and I enjoy working with people across the lifespan, from adolescents through to older adults, as well as people from diverse cultural backgrounds and the LGBTI+ community. I have experience and enjoy working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, adjustment issues and trauma.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults across both therapy and assessment. I am particularly drawn to supporting young people, neurodivergent individuals, and those experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, or challenges with confidence and resilience. I enjoy helping people make sense of their emotions and experiences, and supporting them to build skills and confidence over time. My work is strengths-based and person-centred, with a focus on understanding and celebrating individual differences rather than trying to change them. My approach to therapy is practical, supportive, and tailored to each person. I mainly draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and to support changes that feel meaningful in everyday life. I also incorporate elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy, allowing me to adapt my approach to suit each individual’s needs, goals, and experiences.

Over the past 20 years, I've been using my psychological background in various roles. Much of my early years of practice was focused on families and young people, working with families ‘at risk’, young people experiencing difficulties transitioning from primary to high school and supporting prisoners and their families during their incarceration. From there, I worked as a drug and alcohol counsellor for 4 years and for 7 years, I was a torture and trauma specialist counsellor and Coordinator at ASeTTS, working exclusively with refugees, asylum seekers and newly arrived entrants who had experienced torture and trauma.

Clinical Psychologist With nearly 15 years experience I have worked extensive with people across the lifespan and have gained particular expertise in working with children and adolescents.

We all have an inner emotional cup; that cup fills just a little more for everything we do. Sometimes that cup becomes so full it starts to overflow. In those times, I believe it is important to lean on others to help us cope. My passion is to assist people in finding the best ways to keep that emotional cup low. Hi, I am Rachael Beckley. I am a Clinical Psychologist who is here to help you learn skills to prevent your cup from overflowing and assist you when it does. I enjoy working across the lifespan, with children, adolescents and adults across a broad range of presenting concerns. My particular area of skill includes working with Anxiety, Trauma, Personality Disorders, OCD, Substance Use, and anger or aggression. I opt for using a warm and empathic approach, focused on your goals and values. It is my experience that every individual is the expert on themselves, and I am here to guide you on the path to being the best you. In terms of formal therapy, I like to utilise evidence based approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Schema Therapy. In addition to my life as a helper, I enjoy spending time with my puppy (Luna), my husband, family and friends. Together we love to explore the outdoors, do some archery and curl up on the couch with a good book.

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and a bit about my background. My name is Sophia and I am a Clinical Psychologist at PHC. I’m a friendly and approachable person and most people find that I’m pretty straight down the line; what you see is what you get! Across my 15-year career, I’ve worked with all manner and breadth of client challenges. One thing I’ve consistently heard clients and colleagues say about me is that I’m easy to get along with because I’m non-judgemental and relaxed. My primary goal when I first meet a client is to put them at ease. One of my main priorities in the first few therapy sessions is to help my clients feel comfortable talking with me – particularly because I empathize and understand that many clients may initially be apprehensive about seeking support. In private practice I have predominantly worked with, and had an interest in the following clinical areas: personality disorders (mostly emotional unstable personality disorder), gender identity and sexuality issues, and the spectrum of anxiety and depressive disorders, including bipolar disorder. I have also worked with offenders who are before the Courts and with refugees in detention. I am very comfortable working with clients with a range of issues, especially those issues that may be on the more daunting side to confront in therapy. I am very down-the-line and direct in my approach, which seems to work well with clients, both new and long-term. I have worked for the past 15 years in adolescent mental health within the NGO space, predominantly with self-harm/ suicide prevention, and with anxiety and depressive disorders. I also previously worked in rehabilitation management within the Workers Compensation sector as well as for the Department of Human Services (Centrelink/DVA). When not at work, I enjoy outdoors time with my family, mindfulness meditation, and yoga. If you feel that I can be of assistance to you or your family, please contact me at the practice on 6381 0071.
