Hi, my name is Gloria Chikhani and I am a Clinical Psychologist offering individual therapy for adults and adolescents experiencing a range of mental health difficulties and diagnoses. I specialise in delivering a holistic and humanistic approach to help you target your emotional distress and teach you to become the master of your own mental health.

My Services

  • About Me

    I am a Clinical Psychologist working in both the private and public mental health sectors, alongside crisis mental health teams, emergency services, and in hospital and community health settings. I completed all of my studies at Macquarie University and I have been a psychologist for nine years. I mainly specialise in working with individuals who have experienced trauma and have ongoing difficulties regulating their emotions and tolerating their distress. My specialty includes working with individuals in crisis targeting self harming behaviours and suicidal ideation. I am a warm, empathetic, and engaging psychologist who will work with you holistically in building your confidence and resilience and help you achieve your mental health goals.

  • Presentations

    I work with a range of presentations including people presenting with mood disorders including Major Depression and Bipolar Affective Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Personality Disorders, Psychosis and Schizophrenia, stress management, adjustment disorders, family and relationship conflicts, school stress, and perinatal and postnatal mental health.

  • Therapies

    All of the treatments utilised in my clinic are evidenced based and include; Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Counselling.

Trauma Informed Care

I know it can be a little daunting meeting someone for the first time and divulging your inner most fears and stressors. I am a trauma-informed trained clinician and I aim to make our time together a safe and comfortable space for you to bring to session what is most important to you. I will meet you without judgement but I will also help you to identify unhelpful and unhealthy patterns of coping so we can instil some change together.
