Perrey McGee

Hi There!

My name is Perrey and I am a generally registered psychologist. I have experience working with clients (18+) across a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem and vocational issues. I believe in prioritising a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where you can explore and address your mental health concerns.

My area of specialty is working with individuals who have experienced/being impacted by domestic, family or sexual violence. It is my goal to create a safe and supportive environment that allows individuals to feel they have power, choice and control to reclaim their lives. For those who have experienced the most intimate forms of violence; I wish to provide a space to help you reclaim your lives and experiences. If you are looking for support in any of the areas I’ve mentioned, I encourage you to reach out.

A supervisor of mine once told me that “therapists have 500 names for the same thing”. While I predominantly use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I tend to take an eclectic approach and may draw from several evidence-based modalities. These may include:

• CBT
• Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
• Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
• Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
• Humanistic
• Strengths-Based
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Augmenting my training in psychology, I also have qualifications in sexology and psychosexual therapy, which allows me to bring a nuanced approach to our sessions.

The type of therapy I use in our sessions will be tailored to your personal needs and experiences, and may be adapted along the way. In our initial sessions, we will begin by discussing your reasons for attending therapy and the goals you wish to achieve. This initial work will inform the focus of subsequent sessions, where we will implement psychotherapeutic interventions targeted to your needs. This may mean having a safe, non-judgemental space to talk through your thoughts and feelings, or you may desire a more structured treatment plan. Regardless of our focus, I will strive for our sessions to be empathetic and collaborative; a place where you can move at your own pace.

I believe that individuals are the experts of their own experiences and the architects of their own journeys. I am simply here to provide the professional expertise you are seeking, and work with you through your unique process of growth and self-discovery.

Simply starting therapy can be challenging and I commend you for getting this far. I appreciate you taking the time to read through my bio and look forward to working with you if you think I would be the right fit.
