Dr Lizzie Stewart, BA(Psych)(Hons), D.Psych, PhD
Clinical Approach. My clinical approach is influenced by systemic family therapy, Gestalt thinking, Buddhism, and cognitive-behavioural frames. I use evidence-based techniques that prioritise connection, containment, self-compassion, kindness, and a free to learn and develop frame. My approach is family focused and attachment based.
With children and teens, I use both cognitive and somatic techniques to prioritise emotion regulation, heathy social connections, assertive and effective communication, creative self-expression, and strengthening an internal locus of control.
With parents, I work within a relational frame that balances containment with attunement to childrens’ feelings and needs. A part of this involves insight oriented therapy to help parents understand their own emotional reactions so that they can better help their child.
