Item description
Life in Balance Psychology is a private practice established in Ringwood in 2011. The practice is led by Imelda Westworth, a psychologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience across government departments and private practice.
Specialising in trauma and EMDR
Trauma therapy and EMDR are at the core of Imelda’s clinical work. EMDR is one of the most thoroughly researched treatments for trauma and PTSD. Imelda is one of the few psychologists in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs with a genuine specialisation in it.
Our approach
The practice draws on a range of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, CBT, Schema Therapy, and DBT.
Treatment is tailored to each individual. The aim is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, and where real, lasting change becomes possible.
Credentials
Imelda is registered with AHPRA and is a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
