Sally Kinmond Psychologist (Registrar)

Sally is a Psychologist currently completing her Clinical Psychology Registrar program after recently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology. She is warm, kind, and compassionate and creates an atmosphere where clients feel safe to speak about their concerns. Using a person-centred, trauma informed approach to therapy, Sally builds a trusting relationship, through collaboration with her clients to promote self exploration, self awareness, and reduced suffering. Her therapeutic style is informed by psychodynamic principles that recognise the importance of having inner resources and self-understanding for good mental health and wellbeing. When working with clients, Sally is flexible with her approach and draws on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), from which she aims to support clients to move towards meaningful solutions and gain more freedom and satisfaction in their lives. Sally has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in public health settings, educational settings, and private practice settings. Clients that Sally has worked with have experienced many different concerns including depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, neurodivergent (autism, ADHD) related struggles, interpersonal issues, trauma (both single incident and relational trauma), life adjustments and transitions, and psychosis. Sally is particularly interested in working with those who are experiencing interpersonal difficulties, have experienced relational trauma, are going through life transitions and adjustments, and those wanting to build self-esteem. Sally is available from mid-April 2024 on Mondays and Saturdays at Healing Connections Psychology. Sally works with clients over the age of 16 years.
