About this practitioner listing
This list is of practitioners who self-identify as working within a self psychology frame.
Some provide clinical supervision as well as client work.
The practitioners are from Australia (ACT and NSW currently).
We hope to have our NZ clan here soon, too.
We are casting the net wide as we know there is a shortage of practitioners in any given area.
We cannot vouch for your experience of any of the clinicians listed.
It is helpful to consider what you are looking for and to consider if the person you contact feels right for you.
