A modern approach
The effectiveness of psychological support is widely recognised to be closely linked to the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client. My approach is authentic, warm, and compassionate, coupled with a holistic and integrative methodology that draw from the best available evidence-based interventions. This ensures a personalised and comfortable experience for each individual. Some of my favourite modalities include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Schema Therapy. I am a certified facilitator of Secret Agent Society Small Group Program Social Skills Training Institute and a certified Auditory Training ProgramTM Practitioner. I work with a trauma informed practice, I am neurodiversity affirming and safe space for the LGBTQI2S+ community.
Areas of interest
My passion is working closely with adolescents and adults, particularly in the areas of anxiety, depression, managing stress, life transitions and adjustment difficulties, self-compassion, confidence, self-esteem, trauma, panic, disordered eating, body image, learning difficulties, sensory neuroscience, Autism and ADHD.
Origin story
Hello, I am so glad you are here! My name is Sydney Fox, a registered psychologist with over nine years of experience delivering evidence-based psychological assessment and therapy. My work includes the development and implementation of therapeutic interventions, comprehensive psychometric and diagnostic assessment and functional capacity assessment of psychosocial disability. I also have prior experience in biofeedback, neurotherapy, and functional brain assessments.
I graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Psychological Science with Honours in 2016. During this phase of my life, my passion for developmental psychology and neuropsychology was born! My course work was heavily influenced by these electives, and my honours thesis explored the role of perfectionism and internalisation of media's ideal image on body satisfaction.
I have supported both clients and multidisciplinary teams to maintain high standards of care, ensuring alignment with best practice, policy, and procedural requirements. My experience extends to conducting NDIS compliance audits, leading program development and governance, and providing supervision and support to early career practitioners.
In 2023, I embarked on a new phase of my career, establishing my own private practice Phase Psychology in Tweed Heads. I am so excited for you to share this journey with me as I share in yours.
