Kirsty Kent
Principal Psychologist
Hello, I’m Kirsty, the Principal Psychologist at Silver Wattle Psychology.
I am so pleased you are considering finding someone who can support and guide you or a loved one to greater mental and emotional wellbeing.
The first step is always the most difficult. Getting to know someone new is daunting for many, even more so when you are not feeling your best. I congratulate you for taking this step for yourself or a person you care for. I hope I can help you to feel comfortable and assured in the process of therapy, from start to finish.
To help you know if I am the right fit for you, I have included a guide to what therapy at Silver Wattle is like below.
Credentials.
I am a fully qualified psychologist registered with the Psychology Board of Australia. This means I have completed a minimum of 6 years of specific training in human behaviour, cognition, neuroscience, and mental health.
In other words, I have dedicated my waking hours to understanding how we think, feel, and interact with the world around us, the ways we can get stuck, and how we can achieve flourishing.

I have special interests in relationships, trauma, emotions, and the search for meaning.
