Justine Anne Collins – General Manager, QLD, NSW and ACT.
Justine is an independent scientist-practitioner with eleven years of clinical experience. She has worked in schools across Australia as well as in clinics in Victoria and New South Wales. Her Ph.D. study centred around an examination of the psychological adjustments that individuals made after experiencing a distressing or traumatic life event. Specifically, identifying the cognitive processes underlying the relationship between attachment style, self-concept, and psychological health whilst exploring how the narrative process can apply in each case.
In her clinical practice, she uses an integration of different approaches specific to suit the individual’s goals and needs – a combination of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Narrative-Based Therapy.
Her specialist skills include clinical intervention, assessments, treatment developments, and research.
