Ashley Depasquale | Psychologist

BPsych (Hons), MPsych (Clinical), MAPS

As a psychologist I use a warm and empathic approach to create a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental relationship with those I work with to help them work towards their goals. I work with individuals across all ages. I am also experienced in working with young people (12-25) and enjoy connecting with them and working together collaboratively to tackle the unique challenges they face.  I draw on a number of evidence-based interventions to support the needs of the individuals I work with, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness. I also believe in using a strengths-based approach to empower the individual to realise their potential and strengths.

My areas of interest include

• Adolescent issues
• Eating disorders
• Body-image issues
• Low self-esteem
• Depression
• Anxiety disorders (general anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks)
• School and workplace stress
• Relationship difficulties
• Addiction (drug and alcohol)
• Behavioural difficulties in children
• Sleep issues
• Grief and loss

I am currently a Clinical Psychology Registrar undertaking advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders.
