Psychology and Counselling in Darwin, You Deserve Real Support

Anxiety, depression, relationship strain, burnout. These are not signs of weakness. They are signals that something needs attention. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel stuck, I offer structured, evidence-based therapy tailored to who you are and what you need.

“The most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.”
— Pema Chödrön

Meet Dr Kerri Thomas, Clinical Psychologist in Darwin

I grew up in the Northern Territory and have spent most of my life here. I have been a Clinical Psychologist since 2010 and hold a Master of Clinical Psychology and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). That combination of deep local roots and rigorous clinical training means I understand the NT context in a way that goes well beyond the consulting room.

I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties, using a calm, direct and collaborative approach grounded in evidence-based clinical psychology. I am also the Northern Territory’s only Certified Gottman Therapist, a distinction that reflects my specialist commitment to evidence-based couples therapy in Darwin.
