Psychological Support for Change, Recovery, and Wellbeing
DEBRA FIDLER | GENERAL PSYCHOLOGIST
I offer a compassionate, collaborative and holistic approach to psychological wellbeing — seeking to understand the whole person, what may be getting in the way, and what can support meaningful change.
My work spans individual psychology and therapy, workplace mental fitness, focused psychology clinics, and restorative wellbeing experiences through Yantree.
My approach is collaborative and seeks to understand the whole person — what has happened, what may be getting in the way of wellbeing, and what might support meaningful change.
Services may be available to self-referred clients as well as through eligible referral pathways.
Reaching out to a psychologist can sometimes feel like a significant step.
Together we can determine what is the right first step for you.
Professional
Referrals
I welcome enquiries from health professionals and other appropriate referral sources.
Depending upon the referral question and service required, referrals may involve psychological treatment, trauma-focused interventions, psychological assessment, or consultation.
If you are considering making a professional referral and would like to discuss whether I am an appropriate psychologist for your client, please contact me.
Understanding the Whole Person
My approach to psychology recognises that wellbeing involves more than our thoughts alone. Our emotions, bodies, relationships, experiences, values and sense of meaning all contribute to how we experience ourselves and the world around us.
Three ideas that have guided my work for many years continue to inform the way I work today:
Discover Your Voice
Developing a greater understanding of your experiences, needs and emotional responses can help you recognise what matters to you and communicate more authentically.
Therapy can provide a safe and compassionate space to explore your experience, understand patterns that may be getting in the way, and reconnect with your own perspective and strengths.
Connect to Your Purpose
Psychological wellbeing is not simply the absence of distress.
It can also involve understanding what matters to you — your values, relationships, work, identity and the direction you want your life to take.
Together, we can explore what gives your life meaning and how you might move toward what matters, even when circumstances are difficult.
Awaken Your Inner Power
For me, this means recognising and strengthening your capacity to respond to yourself and your experiences with greater awareness, compassion and choice.
It is not about pretending difficult experiences haven’t happened. It is about developing the understanding, skills and resources that can help you respond differently and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
