Michelle Johnston Psychology

Clinical and Forensic Psychologist | Director

Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m glad you’re here.

I offer both in-person sessions in Hamilton, Brisbane and Telehealth appointments via Zoom and telephone across Australia.

I provide a space where you can feel seen, heard and understood. I believe meaningful change begins within a strong therapeutic relationship, where you can slow down, reflect and gently explore the experiences that have shaped who you are.

As a human-centred and attachment-focused psychologist, I work collaboratively with individuals aged 16 and over, taking the time to understand your unique experiences, needs and goals. With over eight years of clinical experience, I have supported people through a range of emotional and psychological concerns.

I have a particular interest in supporting people through anxiety, low mood, stress, life transitions, trauma, grief and loss, as well as perinatal mental health, including the emotional experiences surrounding fertility, pregnancy and the transition to parenthood.

Together, we can work towards feeling more grounded, connected and able to navigate life with greater clarity and self-compassion. I also provide professional supervision for provisional and early-career psychologists. If you’d like to learn more or explore whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to get in touch.

Areas I Work With

I support individuals experiencing:

  • Anxiety and mood concerns

  • Stress and burnout

  • Life transitions and periods of adjustment 

  • Trauma and complex life experiences

  • Attachment and relationship difficulties

  • Family of origin issues

  • Grief and loss

  • Perinatal mental health

Areas of Special Interest

I am particularly drawn to working with:

  • Perinatal Support

    Supporting individuals navigating fertility, pregnancy loss, and the emotional impact of perinatal experiences.

  • Women in Transition

    Including motherhood, identify shifts, relationships, self-worth and internal expectations.

“The greatest gift we can give someone is our presence.”

- Daniel J. Siegel
