Dr Natasha Rogers

Clinical Psychologist

About

Natasha is a registered Clinical Psychologist and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPS).  Natasha has an authentic and empathic therapeutic style, based upon developing an understanding of the individual and building a safe therapeutic relationship.  She has a collaborative approach to therapy that encourages reflection to increase self-awareness and address underlying issues that are contributing to psychological distress.

Natasha’s therapeutic approach usually involves a thorough assessment, resulting in an individualised formulation and treatment plan, which is collaboratively developed and adjusted over time according to changing needs and priorities.  Clinical assessment measures may be used when appropriate, as this can assist with increasing objectivity and insight into our symptom patterns, as well as treatment needs, priorities, and outcomes.  Therapy will typically address unmet emotional needs in childhood and adulthood, underlying beliefs/schemas and subsequent coping responses, as these are often related to one’s current attachment/relationship patterns, emotional difficulties, symptom presentations, and other issues.

Natasha has a special interest in treating complex and long-term issues related to self-identity/self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, relationship and attachment issues, complex trauma, attachment trauma, and emotion-related difficulties.
