Desiree Loveridge

Philosophy & Vision

Hi, my name is Desiree and I have over 20 years experience helping people overcome their challenges and improve their mental health and wellbeing. I have helped people from all walks of life and all sorts of mental health concerns and I will tailor psychological treatment to your unique presentation and needs. I bring compassion and warmth to my practice and I am committed to using evidence based approaches to help you help yourself. I set up Serenity Mind Care as an online psychology clinic so I can reach more people and offer therapy that is both effective and convenient. I see individuals aged 14 years and above.

Background

My early career involved helping people who had been involved in workplace incidents and motor vehicle accidents. I also worked in the employee assistance space providing counselling and support to a diverse range of personnel such as journalists, police, bankers, and lawyers. I then worked for various private psychology practices and predominantly saw people under the Medicare scheme. Over the course of my career I have seen people with all sorts of presenting concerns, including self-harm, posttraumatic stress, obsessive compulsive disorder, substance abuse, relationship issues, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, parenting issues, workplace bullying and many more. Now I am working for myself and have started my online psychology clinic.
