Alycia Powell-Jones

Psychologist

Alycia Powell-Jones | Principal Clinical Psychologist (Child/Youth) | Board-Approved Supervisor Client Group Older Adolescents (16+) | Young Adults | Adults Interest Areas Perinatal & Postnatal Mental Health | Matrescence & Adjustment to Parenthood | Feeding & Breastfeeding Difficulties | Parenting & the Invisible Load | Identity & Role Changes | Anxiety, Stress & Worry | Depression & Low Mood | Emotional Regulation | Self-Esteem | Adjustment & Life Transitions | Eating Concerns | Relationships & Family Adjustment Services Individual Psychological Therapy | Perinatal & Postnatal Psychology | Clinical Supervision Alycia is an experienced Clinical Psychologist with more than 10 years of experience across public health, non-government and private practice settings. She works with older adolescents from 16 years of age, young adults and adults. She is drawn to helping people better understand the patterns within their experiences and, where needed, find ways to shift those patterns and move towards the life they want to live. "Life is not always easy, or always moving in the direction we wish it would. I believe that through creating a safe space and working collaboratively, we can better understand what is happening, develop new ways of responding, and work towards meaningful change in mental health and wellbeing." Alycia supports people experiencing anxiety, stress and worry, depression and low mood, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem concerns, adjustment difficulties and eating-related concerns. She also has a particular interest in perinatal and postnatal mental health and the transition to parenthood, including the psychological, emotional, relationship and identity changes that can occur throughout pregnancy, after birth and into early parenthood. Alycia may be a good fit for you if... You're looking for an experienced Clinical Psychologist who is warm and collaborative and interested in understanding not only what you're experiencing, but the patterns, relationships and experiences that may sit underneath it. You may be a young person or adult experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood or difficult emotions, navigating a significant life transition, struggling with confidence or self-esteem, or noticing patterns that you would like to better understand and change. Alycia may be a particularly good fit if you're pregnant, have recently had a baby or are navigating the transition into parenthood. Perhaps becoming a parent hasn't felt quite the way you expected. You may be struggling with feeding or breastfeeding, feeling overwhelmed by the invisible load, adjusting to changes in your identity or relationships, or trying to reconcile the person you were before becoming a parent with who you are now. You may love being a parent while also finding parts of parenthood incredibly difficult. Both things can be true. Alycia's Approach Alycia believes that creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship provides an important foundation for understanding what's happening and working towards meaningful change. She works from an attachment perspective and incorporates trauma-informed care principles, tailoring therapy to each person's individual needs, experiences and goals. Her therapeutic work draws upon Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Alycia's approach combines developing practical skills and new ways of responding with opportunities to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences and the patterns that may be influencing your wellbeing. Perinatal Psychology, Parenthood & Matrescence Alycia has developed a strong interest in the psychological experience of becoming a parent and matrescence - the significant emotional, psychological, relational and identity transition that can accompany motherhood. She supports people throughout family planning, pregnancy, the postnatal period and early parenthood. Her areas of interest include perinatal and postnatal mental health, feeding and breastfeeding difficulties, changes in identity, relationship changes, the invisible load, emotional wellbeing, adjustment to parenthood, and the realities and expectations of early parenthood. Alycia recognises that becoming a parent can bring enormous joy while also bringing experiences that are difficult, unexpected or rarely spoken about. Her aim is to provide a space where parents can talk openly about the whole experience of parenthood, without feeling that they need to present it as entirely positive or have everything figured out. Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC) Alycia's interest in feeding and early parenthood has also led her to Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC). She is currently undertaking NDC accreditation through the approach founded by Dr Pamela Douglas through Possums & Co. This developing area of her practice complements her interest in supporting parents with feeding, infant wellbeing and the emotional challenges that can accompany the early stages of parenthood. Principal Clinical Psychologist (Child/Youth) As Principal Clinical Psychologist for Child and Youth Services at Willow Tree Psychology and Wellbeing, Alycia provides senior clinical leadership and contributes to the ongoing development of high-quality psychological services for children, adolescents, young people and families across the practice. Her leadership role includes supporting psychologists and the broader clinical team, contributing to clinical standards and professional development, and helping strengthen the quality and consistency of child and youth psychological care across Willow Tree Psychology and Wellbeing. Clinical Supervision Alycia is a Psychology Board-approved supervisor and provides clinical supervision to provisional psychologists, Clinical Psychology Registrars and registered psychologists. She brings more than a decade of clinical experience to supervision and has presented and published in the areas of traumatic brain injury and Schema Therapy in clinical populations. External clinical supervision may also be available, subject to Alycia's availability.

Chelsea may be a good fit for you if... Your child seems capable but isn't progressing at school in the way you expected, is finding particular areas of learning unusually difficult, or there seems to be a significant difference between what they understand and what they are able to demonstrate academically.

Sometimes parents and teachers simply know that something isn't quite adding up and want a clearer picture of the young person's strengths and difficulties. Chelsea's Approach Chelsea understands that assessment can feel unfamiliar or daunting for children and families. Her approach is warm, engaging and child-centred. For Chelsea, assessment isn't simply about producing scores or a report. She aims to translate results into meaningful information and practical recommendations that families and schools can use.
