Kirsten Kreutzfeldt

Kirsten has extensive experience working as a Clinical Psychologist, with both children and adults across private, government and community sectors. Government work included tertiary health services for children and adults for anxiety and trauma, research clinics, child protection, children in out-of-home care, and justice. Private work included individual work with adults and also working with children in the television and acting industry.

Kirsten has a friendly, inclusive and non-judgemental approach and she likes to create a space for clients where they can feel at ease while untangling the issues they arrive with.

Kirsten has a special interest in trauma and anxiety in both children and adults. With children, she sees it as important to work closely and collaboratively with parents, which she sees as central to their children’s wellbeing.

She also supports adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD later in life.

Kirsten provides a person-centred and strengths-based approach, using therapeutic modalities such as:

• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
• Person-centred psychodynamic approaches

Most important of all, Kirsten wants her clients to have the experience of being “met”: of being seen, heard and respected while they navigate development of fresh skills and new ways of thinking and understanding themselves.
