Christie Gurr

Christie graduated her Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) from the University of Newcastle in 2008 and is a Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS)

Christie works with clients across the lifespan and has a particular interest supporting the healing and recovery journeys of people affected by complex mental health, trauma, grief and loss, self-harm and suicidal ideation.

Christie has a natural coaching style and utilises aspects of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Schema Therapy in her practice.

Having worked with adults who have lived experience of complex mental health prior to becoming a psychologist, Christie is passionate about delivering recovery-oriented therapy helping clients find meaning, hope, identity and responsibility in life. Christie’s client-focused approach means she will meet her clients where they’re at and help them take control of their life by working collaboratively and respectfully.

Christie is also a trained facilitator of Circle of Security – a parenting program to help parents and carers learn better ways to connect with and raise their children. Christie has also worked with children and families as a Behaviour Therapist, helping to understand behaviours of concern and manage risk.
