Meet Zoe Semmler, Your Registered Psychologist
I'm passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strength. As a registered psychologist, I'm committed to supporting individuals and couples through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based methods with genuine care, guiding you towards wellbeing.
My Professional Journey
My journey into psychology began with a deep desire to help people find their way through life's most challenging moments. After completing my Master of Clinical Psychology and working in various settings, I established Life Psychology Australia to make quality mental health care more accessible to everyone. I believe that when we address our mental health with intention and support, we open doors to greater personal fulfillment, stronger relationships, and the courage that comes from facing our challenges.
I specialise in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties, while also providing neurodiversity-affirming care. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices combined with genuine compassion and understanding.
The transition to telehealth has been a natural evolution of my practice, allowing me to serve clients across the Greater Hunter region and beyond. I believe that quality mental health support should be accessible from the comfort of your own home, without compromising on the therapeutic relationship or treatment effectiveness.
