Medicare Clinical Psychologist Provider

Telehealth available

Lucia is a dually endorsed clinical and health psychologist with over 10 years of experience. She has practiced across a variety of settings including several years at a busy public hospital in Melbourne. Lucia now consults in private practice and specialises in supporting clients with overlapping physical and mental health difficulties as she recognises the bi-directional nature of these issues (e.g., diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, stroke, fertility). More broadly, she has experience supporting clients managing adjustment (e.g., early motherhood, career) and grief & loss.

Lucia has a warm approach and can assist clients with current difficulties whilst making links with early life experiences to provide a richer experience in therapy. She has a good understanding of how these can affect one�s personality development and result in problems such as relational difficulties and emotion regulation.

Lucia offers a brief intake call to discuss suitability and key concerns.
