Qualified and Experienced Psychologist Offering Telehealth Counselling Services

Hello, my name is Yasmin (She/Her).

I am a registered psychologist with over 20 years’ experience working with adults, young and older, from a wide range of backgrounds.

I have a flexible and compassionate approach to counselling, treating each client as an individual and structuring each session to meet the needs of the client.

About Me

I have worked as a psychologist for over 20 years with experience in a variety of roles including University Student Counsellor, University Study Skills Advisor, Disability Advisor, Co-ordinator and Manager of a University Unit. I have also worked as a Lecturer at Universities throughout Brisbane on Communication Skills, Mental Health and the Mind, Cross Cultural Issues, Change Management, Anxiety and Depression, Psychological Development, Family and Parenting Issues. My experience also includes working with people with Disabilities, NDIS Organisations, Autism and Neurodiverse Groups, School and Homeschooling Groups, Indigenous Communities, LGBTQI+ Groups, International Students, Employee Assistance Programs, Medical Teams and Rural Communities. I currently live in Brisbane, but I have travelled to many rural and remote parts of Australia and Overseas. I truly enjoy meeting people from all different backgrounds, and I bring this understanding and experience to my Private Practice.

My training and experience include a Bachelor of Behavioural Sciences (Griffith University), Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) (Griffith University), Mindfulness and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Inner Child Therapies, Person Centred Therapy, Psychotherapy, Neuro Psychotherapy, IPNB (Interpersonal Neurobiology) and Organisational Psychology.

I am registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Authority) and I am also registered to provide services through Medicare Better Access to Mental Health Care Initiative for clients who are referred by their GP or Psychiatrist. Clients who have a current GP Mental Health Care Plan are eligible to obtain a rebate for up to 10 sessions from Medicare in a calendar year (January to December). This applies to individual counselling only, not couple counselling.

I am a registered provider with most private health funds. I am a registered provider for WorkCover and I can cater to plan-managed and self managed NDIS clients. I am also registered with AAPi (Australian Association of Psychologists Inc.).

The information shared in our session is private and confidential. The only exception is if you should present as a risk of harm to yourself or others or in cases of abuse or neglect of children or dependent adults. I will advise you of my concerns and discuss the next steps in these circumstances. There may be occasions where you would like me to liaise with other parties or health care providers (for example, employers, doctors, and allied health care providers). In these situations, I require your permission to make contact, and we will discuss in advance the nature of the information to be shared.
