THE TEAM
Dr Carly Ymer
B.App.Sci. (Hons), D.Psych. (Clinical)
Carly has a love of working with children and teenagers to help their developing minds and bodies understand the connection between the mind and their emotions and how these effect their health and wellbeing. Carly’s sensitivity to their vulnerable minds and growing bodies allows the children and teenagers to feel relaxed, at ease and safe to explore their internal world and their difficult emotions and experiences. Carly’s work facilitate change by showing unconditional positive regard, a client centred approach and an understanding of the clients motivations and fears in order to gently shift mindset, challenge unhelpful behaviours and soothe uncomfortable emotions. Providing a reflection of her clients inner world helps her clients to see the areas for change and she assists them to explore ways they may achieve this through thought exploration, behavioural challenges, and communication tools.
Carly readily works with issues of anxiety, mood disorder, eating disorders, behavioural disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder in girls, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and parent-child/teen relational difficulties. Carly believe in thorough assessment of the young person and their family and school environments in order to fully understand the history and context of the issues at hand. Carly then works with the client to achieve not only amelioration of their symptoms and problems, but a deeper sense of self awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier and happier relationship with themselves.
Carly utilises a client centred approach that is individual to each client and that takes into account the clients generational, cultural, age, gender and intrapersonal uniqueness. Developing rapport and a safe, relaxed and respectful therapeutic relationship is paramount to Carly’s work. She uses those processes with techniques of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Behavioural Therapy and Affect Regulation Therapy (ART).
Most of all Carly is passionate about her clients and loves working with all ages to help her clients achieve health and wellbeing of mind and body.
