ABOUT ME

Hi, I am Karthick Thangavelu

Psychologist | BPsychSc (Hons), MProfPsych

I am a Psychologist registered with AHPRA. My approach is client-centred, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s unique experiences. I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Conversational Model, and Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP) to support clients in developing emotional resilience and self-understanding.

With clinical experience in private practice and university counselling settings, I have worked with individuals managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and neurodivergence (e.g., Autism, ADHD). I also have a strong research background, contributing to studies on anxiety in Parkinson’s disease, virtual reality-assisted psychotherapy, and neurocognitive disorders. My research interests reflect a commitment to innovative therapeutic approaches that enhance well-being and promote meaningful change.

Qualifications & Professional Memberships

Some of the areas I work with include:

Therapy is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and create lasting change.

A Little About Me:

Therapeutic Modalities Used

My approach draws on a range of evidence-based, experiential, and mindfulness-informed practices that integrate body, mind, and awareness. Each of these trainings has helped shape how I hold space — blending science, creativity, and depth psychology into the healing process.

  • Mindfulness-Based Practice –
