​

I’m Dorothea Vallianos, a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about working with people, across their lifespan, to help them make life enhancing choices to lead a more fulfilling life. I work with children, adolescents, adults and the elderly during times of transition, loss, doubt, uncertainty and crisis. Following a Bachelor of Psychology with Honours, a Masters in Clinical Psychology was conferred. I am also a Member of APS College of Clinical Psychologists. Working in the field of psychology for over 20 years has allowed me the privilege of listening to clients’ unique stories, witnessing their journeys, and helping them overcome adversity and obstacles to achieve clarity, meaning, healing, direction and growth. My breadth of experience has included being a regular guest speaker and host on 96.5FM Talking Life, providing workplace, community and school-based programs and contributing to books, newspapers, and magazines. I utilise evidence-based therapy with a focus on compassion, providing an emotionally safe space; identifying and exploring strength and problem areas; establishing goals and sourcing courage to initiate positive, effective changes. My vision is to assist people in enhancing their quality of life through building resilience and optimising emotional, relational, physical and mental health and well-being in children, adolescents and adults. I welcome the opportunity to work with you and your clients to effect life enhancing changes in their lives.
