Meet Nicole Dorrington
Psychologist | Board Approved Supervisor | Director PsychInMind (Supervision & Training) Mental Health Consultant
Hi there! I'm Nicole, and with over 16 years of experience in practicing psychology, I've been dedicated to child and adolescent mental health across both public and private sectors. My journey has been fuelled by a passion for supporting children, youth, and families in navigating mental health and wellbeing challenges. My areas of interest include: childhood anxiety and depression, childhood trauma, attachment difficulties, emotional regulation, adjustment to life/family changes, parent and family support.
In my welcoming and playful therapeutic space, relationships are at the core of my collaborative approach. Family support is a particular passion of mine, as I believe it’s crucial in reaching optimal outcomes for children and young people. I aim to provide holistic support to parents and children alike.
I've been practicing since 2008 in a variety of settings, including Disability Services Queensland, Child and Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS) and private practice. Working across the sectors has enabled me to develop extensive skills in community and clinical psychology.​
As an AHPRA board-approved supervisor, I not only guide psychology students and allied health professionals but also deliver empowering workshops.
Having dedicated the past decade to childhood trauma intervention, I remain deeply committed to this field. My ongoing involvement includes providing supervision, case consultation, and training to NGOs specialising in residential and foster care services.
