Dr. Prudence Fisher
Clinical Psychologist
I have 25 years as a clinical psychologist and work routinely with anxiety, depression and stress management. I work within several theoretical frameworks, CBT; ACT, Grief, Trauma models, Drug & Alcohol misuse and Relationship and Sexual therapy are some of the models I utilize.
For the past 24 years I have specialised in Women’s Health working exploring effective pathways for women to regain balance and wellbeing both within and outside of intimate relationships. I work with women who have experienced significant distress through losing sexual desire or experiencing pain within intimate relationships as well as working with women who have exaggerated premenstrual tension and menopause symptoms. These symptoms are often also associated with anger, anxiety, changes in mood, tiredness and sleep disturbances. I work with women adjusting to complex gynaecological conditions including diagnosis, treatment and recovery from cancer.
More recently I have completed my PhD in the area of young women and wellbeing and work with young women through the transitional years into adulthood. I am also are increasingly identifying how work place politics impacts on busy women’s and men’s lives and wellbeing and explore pathways to better negotiate the workplace.
