Anita Gupta

Clinical Psychologist

B.A., Grad. Dip. Child Psychotherapy Studies, MPsych (Clinical)

I have worked as a Clinical Psychologist for 15 years, in public, community and private settings. I am qualified to work with adults, adolescents and children. In the last ten years, I have worked mostly with children, and have completed specialist training focused on working with this age group. Prior to entering private practice, I worked mostly in the area of trauma recovery. I am also experienced in working with anxiety, mood, behaviour and developmental concerns.

I am passionate about working in collaboration with caregivers to understand their child as an individual, and the underlying reasons for their difficulties. I provide a safe and welcoming space for children to express and understand their concerns. Children often communicate through play and behaviour rather than by verbal means in the way adults do. I also enjoy working with adults, whether this is for parenting support or personal therapy. My work is underpinned by an understanding of attachment theory, a long term mindfulness practice, and training in psychoanalysis and compassion-focused therapies.
