Kerryne Chia

Kerryne is a clinical psychologist who is passionate about supporting people to improve their wellbeing and reach their personal goals. Her therapeutic style is collaborative, client-centred, and empathetic while bringing a sense of humour to sessions.

She also enjoys working with individuals who may not necessarily have a mental health diagnosis, but who seek a safe space for reflection and to address issues impacting on their relationships or functioning.

Kerryne draws from a range of therapeutic approaches to suit each client’s needs. She is LGBTIQA+ affirming and can support individuals in their exploration/affirmation of their gender and sexuality. As a culturally diverse person herself, Kerryne welcomes clients from different backgrounds.
