Dr Valerie Lieu
D. Psych. (Clin), MSc
Valerie’s career as a clinical psychologist has been defined by her interest in working with people who have longstanding difficulties with anxiety and depression, grief and traumatic loss, PTSD and complex trauma (childhood trauma, relational trauma, and first-responders), suicidal thoughts, self-harm, bipolar disorders, and psychotic disorders. Her experience in treating these presentations come from her years working across various settings in the public health system, including the National Centre for Veterans’ Healthcare, palliative care, and inpatient mental health units.
Valerie's therapy style is warm and pragmatic. She enjoys getting to know her clients so she can tailor treatment in a creative and flexible way to meet individual needs. Valerie believes that good therapy will feel challenging at times, but clients should feel well supported throughout the process.
