About

Michelle Doherty is a registered Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Registrar with over six years of experience working in mental health. She is dedicated to providing compassionate and inclusive care, welcoming clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, sexualities, gender identities, and those who are neurodivergent.
Michelle Doherty works with adults and young people aged 15 years and older, supporting individuals with a wide range of psychological concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family of origin issues, relationship challenges, identity and self-esteem difficulties, stress, burnout, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Her therapeutic approach prioritises building a meaningful therapeutic relationship and creating a safe, nurturing space where clients can openly explore their concerns. She believes in the power of collaborative dialogue to help clients create meaning and gain insight into their experiences. Therapy is tailored to each individual’s needs and goals, fostering a personalised journey towards healing and growth.
Michelle Doherty adopts an integrative approach to therapy, working predominantly through a psychodynamic and trauma-informed lens. She also draws from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy when appropriate. Her practice is further influenced by somatic, humanistic, and systemic therapies.
She has a particular interest in working with individuals affected by complex trauma, recognising the profound impact trauma can have on psychological wellbeing and interpersonal relationships. Through exploring unconscious patterns, unresolved emotions, and the dynamics of trauma, she assists clients in gaining insight, processing their experiences, and fostering transformative change.
Michelle Doherty holds a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours), a Master of Clinical Psychology, and a PhD from her previous career in science. She is a member of the Australian Psychological Society and is committed to maintaining high professional and ethical standards in her practice, ensuring the delivery of high-quality care to all her clients.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
