Meet Kerri

I have a longstanding connection to Darwin and the Top End, and am an experienced clinical psychologist providing counselling and relationship therapy to support meaningful change and healthier relationships. I have been in private practice since 2010 and hold a Master of Clinical Psychology and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

Based on the Sunshine Coast, I offer clinical psychology services, including counselling, relationship therapy, and Autism and ADHD assessments, and run a week-long clinic in Darwin each month, with additional services available via telehealth across Australia.

As the Northern Territory’s only Certified Gottman Therapist, I work with couples to strengthen connection and build relationships that are sustainable over time. It has been a privilege to support many couples to improve intimacy and learn healthier, more constructive ways of managing conflict.

I use a solution-focused, evidence-based approach, with particular interests in relationship counselling, anxiety, and depression.

My goal is to support you to navigate challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence.
