CLINICIANS

 Caley Redstall is a provisionally registered psychologist completing her Masters in Clinical Psychology and hopes to assist adults, adolescents and new parents with navigating through various checkpoints of life.

Caley is working on Mondays at our Red Hill clinic and Thursdays at Morningside.

I have worked with people of all ages from all walks of life as a sailing instructor, camp leader, mental health support worker and administration assistant. Within my psychology training and clinical experience, I have had the privilege of working alongside children, adolescents, and adults in private practice settings, with both an assessment and therapeutic focus. 

In my spare time, I love to spend time with my loved ones, read, travel, and get out into nature.  

I adopt a warm and empathetic approach to my practice to ensure clients feel accepted, safe, and valued without judgement. I respect the courage it takes to seek professional help, and value client’s individual differences and preferences within therapy. 

I am passionate about supporting my clients through a collaborative and strengths-based approach, to equip them with strategies and tools that can be transferred from the therapy room to day-to-day life. My approach is based on the evidence- based therapy- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Anastasia Ivleva is a registered psychologist and she works with adults, young adults, adolescents and children. Aptly having found her calling with psychology, Anastasia is a warm and empathetic presence to have around. 

She works on Wednesdays and Thursdays at our Red Hill location.

After exploring a corporate career for 10 years, I have finally arrived at psychology full of life experiences and travel insights. Since 2020, I have worked in private and public sectors, with focus on collaborating with innovative, values-driven organisations such as Pop Psychology. I am passionate about providing support to teenagers and young adults through current, turbulent times, while remaining an authentic and relatable professional. 

As a self- diagnosed nerd, I enjoy science fiction and fantasy, dabble in philosophy and politics, and often stay up late talking to friends over a glass of wine.

In my sessions we laugh, we cry, we create and explore. Drawing on my eclectic collection of lived experience and professional development, I seek to work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, the LGBTIQ+ community and clients who experienced family difficulties growing up. My purpose is to help my clients live a life in line with their values, while strengthening their connections with friends, family and the wider community. My modalities include:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Motivational Interviewing 
• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Courtney Wilton is a psychologist with additional accreditation (Masters) in Educational and Developmental Psychology. She works for our service primarily seeing clients in the perinatal space, as well as adults and teens. 

Courtney works on Wednesdays at Red Hill. 

I have been a psychologist for 12 years, mostly working with children and young people. Through my own personal challenges with fertility, I became aware of the lack of support for those going through the conception phase and became passionate about the area of perinatal psychology. After successfully getting pregnant and later becoming a mother, I experienced the gap in psychological support for expecting mothers, both in the antenatal and postpartum period. During this time, I discovered the term ‘matrescence’ (the process of becoming a mother) and delved into learning more about it, both from a professional and personal perspective so I could begin working with those in the perinatal area. 

I am a mother to a sassy 2.5 year old daughter and I love nothing better than curling up with a good book that I can lose myself in. I am also very excited about the prospect of traveling again!

I am passionate about self-growth and helping my clients achieve their goals, whatever they may be. Therapy is an individual journey and I am very interested in getting to know my clients to ensure they are the best fit. I have experience with victims of family violence, anxiety, depression, self-identity issues through adolescence, and disordered eating. Within the perinatal space, my special interest areas are body image, disordered eating, infertility, and navigating the ups and downs of parenthood.

I use the approaches of CBT, ACT along with forms of narrative, expressive and solution focussed therapy to help my clients feel fulfilled along their parenthood journey.

Tilly Jarvis has worked with children, couples and families for the past 20 years. Tilly’s interests lie in supporting people throughout their pregnancies and into parenthood, perinatal mental health and working with the impacts of trauma.

Tilly sees clients on Thursdays at Red Hill.

I am a mum of 10-year-old twins who have taught me a lot about myself and how I do life. I have worked as a social worker overseas in Cambodia in a children’s village and in rural and remote settings for non-government community organisations. I have often been the only mental health social worker in my location, finding myself in a range of settings such as schools, hospitals and court rooms. Mental Health Social Workers are required to do extra study to apply knowledge and develop their understanding of mental health practice. I wanted to know more about how people grow awareness and process through trauma and the impact it has on their relationships, the environment and the self. My fondness of study took me down the path of holding two Master’s degrees, one in Primary Health Care, focusing on Alcohol and other Drug therapies, mental health and wellbeing and the other in Gestalt therapy. My training has slowly become more present, and authentic in my life, especially with my kiddos.

I work in a warm and relational way and take time to create an individualised space which feels safe. Coming to therapy can be half of the work! I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist and Mental Health Social Worker with a focused psychological lens. In my work as a Social Worker, I have developed a good understanding of systems, environments, and power dynamics and how they can affect your experience in the world. I completed an honours in Art Therapy and Narrative Therapy, which looks at retelling stories through alternative language and brings colour, nature, and play into the therapeutic space. I favour the following therapies in my work:

• Gestalt Therapy
• Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
• Narrative Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Motivational Interviewing

Marlies Rodriguez has worked with children and families for over 20 years. In her recent work as a school psychologist, Marlies has formed effective and meaningful connections with students due to her warm, playful, and engaging approach. She has a special interest in school related issues (including school refusal, anxiety, bullying), the toddler years and supporting families experiencing transitions and change. She is available to see adults, children, adolescents and families, as well as providing perinatal home visiting.

Marlies works on Fridays at our Red Hill location. 

I have worked as a counsellor and psychologist with children, teenagers and families in an extensive range of settings including out of home care and adoption, primary and high schools and NGO mental health settings for over 20 years. I am passionate about collaborating with the whole family to understand the emotions and challenges each child or young person is facing and finding practical solutions to the challenges that life throws up.  My passion for travel has meant I have enjoyed living and working in The Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom and I have worked extensively with families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. I am a mother to two girls with whom I enjoy days at the beach and walks with a view.

As well as integrating a number of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, ACT, Narrative & Solution Focused into her sessions, I have have completed extensive additional specialist training in non-directive play and creative arts therapies. Using a fun, play-based approach makes most sense to children (and to me!) and means that therapy is fun and engaging. I support children and young people with emotional regulation, social skills, school or social concerns, bullying, anger management, grief, developing resilience, anxiety, managing worries, adjustments and depression.  Marlies is registered as a Psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner’s Regulation Authority (AHPRA) and is an Associate Member of the Australia Psychological Society (APS).
