Louise Hurley

Louise is a Clinical Psychologist who offers a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. She works from a strengths-based, person-centred, and trauma-informed perspective, supporting people through challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Louise is passionate about creating a safe, relaxed, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported to make meaningful, lasting changes. She values authenticity, respect, and building strong therapeutic relationships grounded in trust, empathy, and curiosity.

Louise takes a collaborative approach, working alongside clients to understand their experiences, set meaningful goals, and develop practical strategies that feel relevant and achievable in their everyday lives, while also supporting the development of emotional resilience and confidence in navigating life’s challenges.

Louise completed her Master of Clinical Psychology at the University of Canberra and has experience working across the lifespan in university clinics, schools, and private practice. She particularly enjoys working with older adolescents (15+), emerging adults (18–25), and older adults, as well as supporting individuals navigating grief and trauma histories.

Her approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and she also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and attachment-informed principles. Louise tailors her approach to each individual, drawing on these frameworks to best meet each person’s goals and needs.
