About Kirra

BA (Hons), M. Psych (Clinical)

I am a registered clinical psychologist with perinatal infant mental health training. I have experience in both private practice and leadership in community youth mental health settings. I now work predominantly in the perinatal mental health space but can assist folks with a range of presentations. These include; anxiety, depression, complex/interpersonal trauma, family of origin difficulties, and relationship issues. Much of my work is focused on life transitions such as pregnancy and adjustment to parenthood, navigating adolescence with your young person, perimenopause, and grief and loss.

Outside of my practice life, I am mum to an almost 30-year-old and a grandma to four feline grandbabies. I’m a keen cook (though not a great baker!) and enjoy Pilates and a true crime binge.

My Approach

My therapy style is collaborative, warm, and non-judgemental. I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and goals, which may include identifying schemas, needs, thought patterns, and behaviours; discovery of hopes and values; gently exploring attachment and relationships; or creating a safe space to process emotions when this feels helpful. Regardless of the approach or the challenges you are facing, I prioritise building a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for our work together. 

Availability

My capacity to take on new clients fluctuates depending on my caseload (unfortunately, I do not keep a waitlist). If you think we may be a good fit, you are welcome to contact me directly to check my availability. I endeavour to respond to enquiries within 48 hours.

Please note that I currently work in private practice on Thursdays and Fridays only.

Fees & Medicare

Standard Therapy Fee
$275.00 per session

With a Mental Health Treatment Plan If your GP has provided a Mental Health Treatment Plan, you may be eligible for up to 10 Medicare-rebated sessions per calendar year. The Medicare rebate as of 1 July 2026 is $149.05, bringing your out of pocket cost to $125.95 per session.

Obstetric Safety Net If you are an expectant mum under the care of a private Obstetrician, you automatically reach the Medicare safety net at 28 weeks. This results in a significantly higher rebate, reducing your out of pocket cost to approximately $30.00 per session.

Payment Payment is processed automatically on the day of your appointment following your session, along with your Medicare rebate – at no additional cost to you.

Private Health Insurance If you would prefer to engage without a Mental Health Treatment Plan, private health rebates may be available. Contact your individual fund for details.
