Clinical Psychology Registrar, Schema Therapist, EMDR practitioner, CBT Therapist, Board-Approved Supervisor
Rochelle is a Medicare-registered psychologist with 12+ years of experience. She is warm, calm, down-to-earth, and collaborative in her approach to therapy. Her mission is to get to know you as a person, understand the change you’re looking for in your life/mental health/relationships, and offer you strategies and ideas to help you get there, at a pace that feels right for you. Rochelle has a special interest in working with trauma and attachment issues to improve emotional peace and daily wellbeing, develop loving and secure relationships, and increase confidence and self-esteem - whatever your cultural background, gender and sexuality.
Although Rochelle’s approach is relaxed and informal, she draws from 12+ years of experience in clinical and forensic psychology, two Masters degrees in psychology, advanced training in schema therapy, CBT and EMDR as well as lived experience with cultural diversity and bisexuality.
What Rochelle’s About
Rochelle started RealTalk Psychology to provide life-changing, high-quality therapy to people experiencing all sorts of long-standing difficulties.
She hopes to provide an affirming, friendly and meaningful experience of therapy that honours each person’s unique personality and goals. In other words, she hopes to be the kind of therapist she would like to see!
Outside the therapy room, Rochelle unwinds with exercise, is an avid reader and book clubber, loves dogs, talking about movies, traveling, throwing shapes on a dancefloor (or in the kitchen), and sharing delicious food with good friends and family. Her ultimate self-care treat is a massage.
