Kylie Cummins

Registered Psychologist

Kylie has been a registered psychologist since 2001.  She commenced her career as a school psychologist and has held roles across primary and secondary schools, in both the public and private systems.  In these roles she enjoyed working with a diverse range of students and families experiencing a variety of issues, including grief and loss, parental conflict and separation, learning difficulties, social, emotional and behavioural problems, self-harm, school refusal, and bullying.  In 2012, Kylie made the move to private practice where she continues to work with children, adolescents, and also adults.  She has experience working with a range of adult issues including depression, anxiety, workplace issues, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, neurodivergence, and parenting.

Kylie believes that each client brings with them a unique set of strengths to be discovered and enhanced.  She creates a warm and accepting environment, that encourages clients to feel safe to speak openly about their feelings and explore their beliefs, values, thought patterns and personal goals. Kylie uses an individually tailored treatment approach that sees clients empowered to create meaningful change within themselves and in their relationships.
