Monica Korpershoek

I am an Accredited Practitioner in Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy and a Clinical Psychologist with over 27 years of experience working in range of settings: Public Mental Health Service (child and youth mental health), hospital settings, community based services and private practice. I have a Masters of Philosophy in Child Psychiatry from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, which included training and supervision in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have worked in South Africa, the United Kingdom and Australia. This has included working at the Tavistock Clinic, a centre of excellence.

I am committed to working collaboratively with individuals to gain a better understanding of a range of emotional, relational and clinical issues, including: ​Depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, separation/divorce, navigating the challenges of becoming a parent, parenting difficulties and work related stress. I provide short-term therapy for anxiety and depression, using DIT. I also provide longer term open ended therapy using a psychodynamic and interpersonal perspective. I provide individual therapy in-person and online. I offer quality online therapy, which has been shown to be as effective as in-person therapy.

I provide clinical and professional supervision and education and training to a range of mental health professionals. I am a member of the Australian Health Professionals Regulation Agency (AHPRA), an accredited supervisor with AHPRA and a member of the Australian Psychological Society.
