Alistair Redfern
Psychologist
Currently Accepting New Clients
My training and experience have been primarily in forensic and high-risk mental health settings, where I have supported individuals experiencing complex emotional and behavioural challenges. This work has included individual therapy and mental health assessments. I am a registered psychologist and hold a Master of Professional Psychology. I am currently continuing my professional development through enrolment in the Master of Clinical Psychology program.
I aim to provide a steady and grounded space where you feel safe to explore your experiences, make meaningful changes and reconnect with what matters to you. I take a calm, collaborative, and non-judgmental approach. My approach draws on evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care.
