Psychology One

Psychology One Providing individuals with tailored therapy in a safe, neutral & trusted environment.

Sharon is a warm, empathic psychologist who has experience working with all age groups and a wide range of presentations. She practices evidence-based and effective therapy in a professional, yet supportive manner, maintaining her expertise through continuing professional development.

Sharon has worked in a variety of settings, including with families, adults, adolescents, and children. Her therapeutic range includes anxiety, depression, personality and relationship issues, grief and loss, goal-setting and motivation, self-esteem, sexual assault and trauma. Sharon has a special interest in working with adults and young people who have experienced sexual assault and/or complex trauma, and with children who have been abused physically, emotionally, and/or sexually. She also has a special interest in working with separated families and understands the complexities of family breakdown for parents and their children.

Sharon recognises the extraordinary bravery of clients in seeking psychological support, and uses her genuine interest and natural curiosity of the client’s difficulties to draw out the essence of the person. Thus Sharon forms a strong understanding of her clients and has a genuine interest in providing individual, tailored therapy which aligns with the client’s needs. Preferred Therapeutic Approach
Sharon’s therapeutic approach is integrative; the inter-weaving of various, best-practice techniques and strategies to readily establish a therapeutic alliance with her clients, along with creating a safe, neutral and trusted healing environment. She uses a combination of therapies, in collaboration with the client, including Narrative Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, CBT, mindfulness, Schema Therapy, and psychodynamic principles.

Back to school is a fresh start, but for lots of kids (and parents) the February reset can feel like a lot. New teachers, new expectations, new routines and social pressure can show up as big feelings at home.

You might notice:
• tears or clinginess at drop-off
• tummy aches or headaches with no clear cause
• sleep changes, irritability, or after-school meltdowns
• worries about friends, schoolwork, or “getting it wrong”

At Psychology One, we support children and young people through these transitions with practical, evidence-based strategies, delivered in a calm, supportive way that helps them feel understood and capable.

If you would like gentle, down-to-earth support, Georgia is a warm and empathetic provisional psychologist at Psychology One who creates a safe space for kids and families. She does not require a referral, can be accessed through NDIS, and is a more affordable option for many families, while still offering thoughtful, evidence-based care.

For more tips, read our latest blog: Back to School, Back to Routines: Supporting Children and Young People Through the February Reset: https://psychonegroup.com.au/2338-2/

Every January we get the same message: do more, be better, fix what’s wrong. But for so many people, that just feeds the quiet belief that you’re not enough as you are.

This year, what if growth didn’t come from self-criticism, but from self-compassion? (It’s not laziness or “letting yourself off the hook”, it’s learning to respond to yourself the way you would a close friend.) ✨

Gentle place to start today:
• Notice your inner language
• Swap “I’m failing” for “This is hard right now”
• Ask: What do I need right now to feel supported?

Our latest blog explores self-compassion and why the “fix yourself” mindset can backfire. Read it here: https://psychonegroup.com.au/you-dont-need-to-fix-yourself-this-year-a-psychologists-perspective-on-self-compassion/

If you’re feeling stuck in harsh self-judgement, therapy can help you understand where that inner critic came from and practise a kinder way forward.

The January school holidays offer a unique opportunity for parents to focus on themselves. With routines shifting and schedules opening up, many people find this is the most convenient time to begin therapy or reconnect with support before the year becomes busy again.

We’re opening a limited number of January holiday appointments for adults and teens. These sessions are available during the daytime and usually book out quickly. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to reach out, this is an ideal time to begin your therapy journey.

Our team includes a diverse range of therapists, each with different strengths, modalities, and experience. This means we can carefully match you with someone who suits your individual needs and goals.

To book, please call the clinic or submit an enquiry online to secure your preferred time: https://psychonegroup.com.au/

The holidays can be beautiful, but they can also feel intense if you’re a Highly Sensitive Person. Big emotions, busy environments, and constant expectations can take a toll.

We’ve shared a gentle guide that supports HSPs through the season with practical, compassionate coping strategies. If you want a calmer, more grounded holiday experience, this is a helpful place to start.

World Mental Health Day is a moment to pause and reflect on how we care for ourselves and each other.

This year’s theme is a powerful reminder: mental health is a universal human right. Everyone deserves the chance to feel seen, supported, and safe, whether they’re navigating big feelings, ongoing challenges, or simply in need of a listening ear.

At Psychology ONE, we believe in creating a calm, welcoming space where children, teens and families can find that support, without barriers.

Let’s continue the conversation. Let’s normalise seeking help. Let’s protect and prioritise our wellbeing.
