Hi, I’m Kym a Clinical Psychologist at Inner Clarity Psychology. With over six years of experience in community and private mental health settings, I understand each client has unique strengths and challenges. In my practice, I aim to provide a safe and comfortable space where we can work together to tailor therapy to suit your needs and achieve your personal goals.
Through my work with Canberra Health Services (Adult Mental Health), DBT adolescent group programs, Cool Kids, and private practice, I have experience supporting families, adolescents and adults facing various mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, and self-harm; as well as providing neurodevelopmental assessments.
I use a trauma-informed, strength-based approach to help clients and their families. Whether you are looking to learn valuable strategies to overcome challenges, talk through life problems, or investigate concerns that might be impacting you at work, school, or home, I am here to help.

I'm Emma Purdy, a Psychologist at The Meaningful Minds Assessment Centre. For over 15 years, I've worked across community services, schools, and private practice, supporting people with a wide range of mental health concerns. This experience has reinforced that everyone's story, strengths, and challenges are unique.
My approach is trauma-aware and strengths-focused. Whether we're developing practical coping strategies or exploring recurring patterns in your life, relationships, or work, I aim to provide a supportive space where we can work at a pace that feels right for you.
I work with adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other emotional difficulties. I also provide neurodevelopmental and cognitive assessments and have experience supporting individuals with complex personality patterns and longstanding interpersonal challenges.
Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and able to be yourself, so we can work together towards meaningful and lasting change.
