About Breakthrough Psychology
Hi, I’m Dr Kerri Thomas, a Clinical Psychologist in Darwin
I’m an experienced clinical psychologist in Darwin who grew up in the Northern Territory, and I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. I support individuals and couples to navigate challenges, improve wellbeing, and reconnect with what matters most to them.
As a clinical psychologist in Darwin, I’m particularly passionate about working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties, and I also enjoy supporting neurodivergent adolescents and adults through Autism and ADHD assessment and diagnosis. There’s nothing more rewarding than walking alongside clients as they gain clarity, build confidence, and move towards a healthier and more meaningful life.
Outside of the clinic, I spend time with my husband, our three young daughters, and our much-loved Cavoodle. Growing up in the NT gave me a strong appreciation for the outdoors, travel, and endurance sport, including marathons, ultramarathons, and Ironman events. I enjoy challenging myself physically and value the perspective that comes from continually pushing personal boundaries.
