Hello, I'm Riya.

I'm a clinical psychology registrar with experience across a range of clinical settings, including private practice and hospital environments. Before my current role I worked in occupational rehabilitation and in domestic violence and family support services within the ACT. I'm presently completing a Master's in Clinical Psychology (Advanced Entry) at the University of Southern Queensland.

I'm committed to creating a collaborative, supportive therapeutic space where clients feel empowered to pursue meaningful personal growth. I take an integrative, evidence-based approach to care — drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities and tailoring each treatment plan to your unique goals and needs.

My clinical expertise includes psychological formulation and treatment planning, with a special interest in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). I've undertaken additional training in Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and completed Level 1 training in EMDR — enabling me to support people dealing with complex trauma, PTSD, chronic depression and significant life transitions. I'm also trained in the Unified Protocol for the transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders and have completed Level 2 training in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

With a passion for supporting adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, I help clients build self-awareness, resilience and emotional well-being through insight-oriented exploration, skills development and experiential interventions. I see clients via telehealth so you can attend from anywhere in Australia.
