About
Dr Sherilene Carr
I am a psychologist and psychotherapist with a special interest in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD. I work with people who have experienced significant life-stressors and trauma, which often shows up as depression or anxiety, difficulties in relationships, and problems with self-identity. My approach is to sit alongside you as you explore how these stressful life events have impacted you, your relationships with others, and your opportunities. My first priority is to develop a strong therapeutic alliance with you, grounded in respect and authenticity, to enable you to feel safe in the process. My goal is to guide and support you as you process what has happened to you and how you can move towards a future of good mental health and wellbeing. My cat Missy sometimes assists.
I am trained in several evidence-based treatment modalities, including:
-
EMDR (accredited practitioner)
-
Schema Therapy
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Motivational Interviewing
My background includes the completion of a PhD in psychology, researching the effect of emotion on memory, and I have worked in a number of settings, including academia, public service and the criminal justice system.

Services
I am an Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) accredited therapist providing trauma-informed psychological therapy in individual and group settings.
Individual
Individual therapy is provided on a weekly or fortnightly basis. With an EMDR approach, I will work with you on resolving the disturbances of stressful life experiences. I use a Schema Therapy approach as an adjunct to my EMDR work.
Groups
I run small groups (minimum of four participants per session) focussed on developing understanding of mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, and building new skills and strategies to recover. Groups run fortnightly for 10 weeks and can be booked online through the client portal.
