About
Dr Sherilene Carr
I am a psychologist with a special interest in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD and dissociation. 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
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
-
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.

Individual
In my individual sessions, I offer a personalised therapeutic approach that aligns with your treatment goals. In our first few sessions, we will develop a treatment plan and identify your preferred treatment modality. Sessions run for one hour, generally on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Group
Group sessions follow a standard structure that focuses on building skills to manage anxiety and depression. These skills groups consist of 10 x 90-minute fortnightly sessions. Skills groups can help complement individual treatment.
