Susana Hernández

I am a bright, warm and compassionate registered psychologist based in Australia, who currently works with adults and couples. My focus is to offer a safe and kind space where clients feel seen and valued. I am passionate about supporting clients to explore their own healing journey through their strengths and vulnerabilities.

I have been working in research, private practice, community settings, university, coaching, hospitality and in the mental health space since 2013, both in Spain and Australia. I have also had the opportunity to work with CALD communities, refugees and asylum seekers, which taught me a great lesson about humanity and kindness. I have worked as a complex case manager and I have training in the context of Family Domestic Violence.

I use a kindness and trauma-informed approach with my clients, integrating all my knowledge in Psychology, Coaching, Mindfulness, Wellbeing and Somatic movement. I use a variety of evidence-based practices such as ACT, CBT, Schema Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Centred and Person Centred Therapy. I am also an Aerial Yoga Teacher and have done training in Yoga for Trauma.

I thrive in working with individuals and couples across multiple areas: trauma, complex trauma, women's health, men's health, migration grief, neurodiversity, sexuality, self-discovery, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief and loss, and general mental health. I work with many people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds, and I do therapy in English and Spanish.

"Healing is a journey through your strengths and vulnerabilities — you are never alone in it."
