About Suparna
Hi there! My name is Suparna, and I love to read, cook and listen to music (so book, recipe, and music recommendations are always welcome and appreciated)!
I am a fully registered and endorsed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field, and am passionate about enhancing personal well-being through psychological techniques.
Being a parent and having called India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia home has given me a valuable perspective that enables me to connect with individuals, children, and parents in today’s fast-paced, diverse, and increasingly amalgamated world. As such, I am familiar with a range of difficulties that can affect one’s well-being at home, work, and/or school.
I am compassionate and warm in my approach and like to work collaboratively and respectfully with my clients to overcome hardships and difficult circumstances.
You will find a warm, creative, empathetic, and play-based therapeutic approach that involves the whole family, creating a safe and creative space where everyone can feel heard and supported.
I employ the use of evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy, and sundry other modalities.
Every session is tailored to meet the specific needs of each person.
