​How deep my understanding of these issues is
I am a registered psychologist, which means I have obtained qualifications and training in helping people with mental health problems, stress, and quality of life. ​​I take time to understand each person's life and circumstances, and provide assistance using the tools and strategies I have learned and developed over my training and 5+ years experience of working as a psychologist. ​​I am currently furthering my training by undertaking a Master of Clinical Psychology. ​​I regularly undertake supervision and professional development to keep up-to-date with psychological interventions for mental health problems.
How I can help you
I take a gentle and caring approach, taking time to listen to your concerns, and explore your history, relationships and interests. ​I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients to develop strategies to help reduce your distress, drawing from CBT, DBT and ACT models. ​I am also passionate about helping clients navigate difficulties with school, university or work stress.
​What does your involvement look like?
-
Regular attendance
-
Willingness to collaborate on solutions
-
Openness to exploring different ways of doing and being, outside of sessions
Let's get to know Kaylee
Q. What is one of your favourite psychology approaches and why?
A. I think I resonate most with behavioural approaches. What we do makes a huge impact on how we feel, whether that be the need to do more things we enjoy or to slow down. It is often just starting that is hard.
Q. What drew you to a career as a psychologist?
A. I have always been interested in human behaviour, and why we act and feel the way we do.
Q. Do you use psychology strategies in your everyday life?
A. Most definitely! I think we all have strategies that we use, we may just not realise why. For me it could be listening to my favourite music and singing along as I know it helps regulate my emotions, making plans to go for a walk with family or friends to increase connection, or taking some deep breaths and grounding myself when feeling overwhelmed.
Q. Favourite food?
A. I cannot go past some pizza.
Q. Do you have any pets?
A. I have a gorgeous rescue dog named Smudges, and a guinea pig named Apollo.
Q. What do you like to do in your spare time?
A. I love hanging out with my family and other favourite people, playing board games or DnD, and going for walks.
Booking with us
At The Glow Centre, all of our clinicians share a passion for helping people find their glow.
​
All work with common issues such as anxiety, depression and stress. In addition, each of our clinicians has their own areas of special interest, training and experience.
​
Each of our psychologists have different wait times, depending on their caseload and commitments. At times, some of our clinicians may not be taking new clients. Our intake team members are trained to match you with the clinician best suited for you, based on your age, availability, and the specific issues you are struggling with.
If your doctor has recommended that you see a particular clinician who is not available to take new clients, our intake team will assist in matching you with a clinician who has similar experience in the issue you are needing help with.
​
​​Please note that we are open Monday to Thursday, with appointments available during the day. We understand that this may not be ideal for everyone, we recommend considering whether you can arrange for temporary accommodations to be made to attend appointments during business hours for the course of your therapy treatment.
