Meet Nicole Dorrington
Psychologist | Board Approved Supervisor | Director PsychInMind (Supervision & Training) Mental Health Consultant
Hi there! I'm Nicole.
​
With over 16 years of experience as a psychologist, I specialise in child and adolescent mental health, supporting children, youth, and families through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, emotional regulation, and life changes.
My collaborative and playful approach focuses on nurturing relationships, with a particular passion for family support to achieve the best outcomes for young people.
​
Since 2008, I’ve worked in diverse settings, including Disability Services Queensland, Child and Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS), and private practice, building expertise in community and clinical psychology. As an AHPRA board-approved supervisor, I mentor professionals and deliver empowering workshops.
For the past decade, I’ve been dedicated to childhood trauma intervention, providing supervision, case consultation, and training to NGOs in residential and foster care services.
