Liz Joshua
Psychologist
To book an appointment please call 07 3283 5400 and talk to one of our friendly receptionists
Hi, my name is Liz and I came to Psychology by a rather circuitous route.
On the way – amongst other successful and enjoyable learning experiences in airline management, and real estate, I was a registered nurse. Psychology has now been my chosen niche for a number of years – working with children in detention, child safety, child and youth mental health and now working privately in clinics with adults and children. I am very fortunate in being able to work with people across the life span. I have an eclectic style that allows me to comfortably integrate evidence based interventions with individual clients. Anxiety, depression and trauma are my chosen special interest areas…
“Together we can explore how to make life work.”
