DR KATIE WYMAN
Co-Founder & Principal Psychologist
Clinical & Counselling Psychologist
As co-founder and principal psychologist I'm interested in developing Blue Gum as a place where people are welcomed and cared for, and where individuals needs are asked about and attended to. In this environment, clients can examine and explore their unique psychological world and make changes to lead freer, fuller lives.
In my work with clients I'm interested in finding out what places clients are stuck, both in their lives and in their psychological processes. I mostly use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Schema Therapy to create the specific treatment plans clients need to get unstuck in life.
I have extensive experience and competence in diagnosing and treating many mental health conditions (e.g., anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, substance use disorders). Having said that, I prefer to focus on the whole person, including any mental health conditions, in the context of a client's life rather than diagnosing and treating mental health disorders in isolation.
