Zoe Nieuwenhuis

PSYCHOLOGIST

BA(Psychology); BA(Hons); MPsych(Clinical); MAPS

Zoe is a registered psychologist with experience across clinical, educational, and public health settings. She holds a Master of Clinical Psychology and has worked with clients across the lifespan. Zoe is passionate about working collaboratively with clients of all ages, taking the time to understand their unique circumstances within the context of their environment, developmental stage, and early life experiences.

Zoe enjoys supporting clients with a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem challenges, adjustment difficulties, social concerns, and relationship issues. Through her work in hospital-based settings, she has also developed a strong interest in the intersection of physical and mental health. In this area, Zoe supports individuals preparing for or recovering from surgery, adjusting to new diagnoses, navigating fertility challenges, managing oncology-related concerns, and engaging in end-of-life discussions within palliative care.

Zoe draws on a range of evidence-based treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy. She also has a passion for incorporating Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) into her work, valuing the gentle way animals can help calm the nervous system, encourage emotional expression, and support open communication in therapy.

Alongside her therapeutic work, Zoe is skilled in delivering cognitive and academic assessments for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing learning, cognitive, or behavioural concerns. She takes a neuroaffirming, strengths-based approach, using assessment results to tailor therapy and support meaningful, lasting change.

Zoe is committed to ongoing professional development and will soon commence working towards her clinical psychology endorsement. She is registered with the Psychology Board of Australia and is a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
