Dianne Swinsburg (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

BPsych (Hons), MClinPsych 

Dianne has expertise in the treatment of emotional, behavioural and mental health issues for children, adolescents and adults. She has a particular passion for helping young children and new parents. Before becoming a psychologist, she worked for over 20 years as a Registered Nurse in public paediatric settings. There she developed an intimate understanding of the many challenges parents face during pregnancy, birth and beyond. She came to believe that emotional health and well-being was just as important as physical health, for both parents and their children.

“My key role as a psychologist is to empower people to make changes that will enable them to live more full, vital and meaningful lives. I aim to work together with my clients, with a spirit of equality and collaboration, and to establish a space where we can be authentic and honest.”
