Our Team

Hello and thank you for letting me introduce myself. My name is Vivian and I am a registered psychologist. I enjoy getting to know the person you are and what brings you to The Rosy Room. From there, we will work together to better understand and navigate any challenges you may have.

I have over 10 years of extensive experience working with young people over the age of 12 and adults with a wide variety of clinical presentations including anxiety, mood disorders, stress, interpersonal difficulties, trauma, grief and loss, chronic health conditions and more. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. My approach utilises a range of evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to tailor treatment plan to your specific needs and goals.

It can be quite overwhelming and confusing when seeking help. Finding the right fit for you can have a positive impact on the treatment outcome. I consider myself as an empathic, warm and genuine therapist that you can feel safe and respected when you share your vulnerability with me. I will work patiently with you at your pace to achieve your therapeutic goals and provide you gentle encouragement where necessary.

Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to meeting you at The Rosy Room.

My name is Ginny, and I am a provisional psychologist at The Rosy Room. As an early career psychologist, my journey into this field has been fueled by a deep passion for helping individuals from all walks of life navigate their unique paths to alleviate sufferings. Over the years, I am honoured for the opportunities to deepen my understanding in the mental health field. My experience includes working primarily with children and family at a private clinic and a not-for-profit organisation and supporting clients of all ages.

If you’re here, I would like to acknowledge that is a courageous first step, and I commend you for seeking support. I appreciate the time walking with my clients’ journey and witnessing their incredible strengths achieving their life goals. Together, we’ll explore the stories that shape our life, and work towards meaningful change.  My therapeutic approach is warm and client-centered but also fun and inspiring. I believe that you are more than the labels given to you and my role is to guide you towards choice and control that enhance your well-being and fulfill your potential.

I collaborate closely not just with my clients but also the system around them. I believe that parents and caregivers play a crucial role helping clients to feel understood, accepted, and empowered in the therapeutic process. I collaborate closely with the clients’ supporting team to ensure consistency and predictability that we are all working together towards the same goals.

I create a safe, holistic, and trauma-informed space where you can feel good about yourself and view your life story with different lenses. I utilize non-direct approaches including Play, Narrative and Art Therapy and a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life

My name’s Nicole, I’m a Provisional Psychologist and work every Wednesday at the Rosy Room.

I started my journey to become a psychologist 11 years ago and over the past few years, I have pursued a diverse range of opportunities to expand my knowledge in the field. I have interned in a private clinic with clients of all ages, worked in a community mental health facility with adults, and more recently with young people in a forensic setting.

I am completing my final year of training, which means I am considered an early career psychologist. I am passionate about mental health and will always see you as more than the single choices you have made in life. While I recognise how rich and meaningful life can be, I also know that no one gets out of life unscathed. Regardless of where you currently are in life, you have braved the first difficult first step and acknowledged to yourself that something must change.

I work with clients of all ages and particularly enjoy working with adolescents, aged 12 and over. I collaborate and work alongside my clients because I understand that finding the right therapist is one of the best predictors for your success. I believe shame dies when you have a safe, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed space to tell your story. My role is to support my clients to feel empowered and recognize patterns of behaviours that are leading them away from a meaningful life.

When it comes to my approach, I don’t believe one size fits all. I tailor my approach to your specific needs, utilizing frameworks such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.

Thanks for taking the time to read more about me. I wish you all the best moving forward and I hope to work with you at the Rosy Room.

Hi there.  I’m delighted to have the opportunity to introduce myself and then meet and collaborate with you at The Rosy Room.  My name is Courtney and I have 15 years of experience working across research, academic, private and community sectors.  I enjoy working with young adults (i.e., 14 years and above) and adults to support them in reaching their goals and use numerous evidence-based treatments including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Sensory Modulation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT).  I am also informed by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy (ST).

I believe in neuroaffirming practice for neurodivergent people and can assist families in liaising with schools regarding the implementation of such into individualised learning plans.  I can also help with mood disturbance/emotion regulation difficulties, anxiety/intrusive thoughts, bullying and school avoidance, self-harm/suicidal ideation, poor self-concept, sexuality and gender questioning, grief and bereavement, and trauma.  I realise that you will bring your own strengths, intentions, and wisdom to therapy and hope to build on these with you.

Outside of The Rosy Room, I have maintained volunteer work since University.  Previously I have volunteered through St Vincent de Paul for interventions such as Safer Families and the Family Plus Initiative.  I continue to volunteer for Girl Guides Queensland where I am a Leader of a Lilly Pilly Guide Unit.

If you think we may be able to work together to better understand what is happening for you and then find ways to work towards the life you wish to have, feel free to call The Rosy Room.  I work at The Rosy Room on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Thank you for your time.

Hi there! My name’s Dan, I’m a Clinical Psychologist who’s excited to start working with people in need. When people work with me, the most common feedback I hear is the appreciation for our strong therapeutic relationship. Naturally, this is underpinned by establishing a safe, trusting, and relaxing environment where people can feel heard and understood. 

I pride myself on providing care to clients that is both genuine and flexible. The things that I value most in offering therapy is knowing when to just listen and when someone needs to be “called-out” or challenged. Another piece of therapy which is often useful is a process-oriented approach in which we will often reflect and analyse together what’s going on in the here-and-now moment. 

I work predominantly with teens and adults (15years+) in an individual capacity. Therapy with myself is flexible and can be short-term or long-term but whatever that decision is you can trust that I will make the time to get to know you and your situation deeply before we make that decision collaboratively. I enjoy and have experience working with a wide-variety of presentations, including interpersonal, mood, anxiety, personality, identity, self-esteem and trauma related issues.  

Prior to working in Private Practice for the past several years, I’ve also had experience working at the Child Mental Health Inpatient Unit at the Queensland’s Children’s Hospital, as well as the Oncology and Palliative Care Unit at The Prince Charles Hospital. Whilst working in these different settings I’ve developed an eclectic therapeutic approach that integrates Schema, Psychodynamics, Acceptance and Commitment, and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy approaches.

Whether you decide to work with me, another clinician or not at all I know that looking into therapy for yourself can be a difficult process so thank you for your time.

Hi, I am Jotham but feel free to call me JJ. I am a Clinical Psychologist at The Rosy Room, and I want to welcome you to this great practice.

I have experience working with clients across the lifespan and I operate from an evidence-based perspective and tailor my approach specific to each person’s individual needs and presentation. I work from a biopsychosocial perspective where I carefully consider each person’s presentation from their unique biological, psychological, and social factors that contributes to their experience.

In my approach, I draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness Techniques, and Emotion Freedom Techniques (EFT; also known as Tapping).

As a therapist, I consider myself warm and welcoming, and you can expect me to treat you with the dignity and respect that everyone deserves. I will meet you wherever you are in this moment and work with you towards improving your mental health and leading a more fulfilling life. You can expect me to be transparent with you, listen attentively and non-judgementally, work with you towards shared goals that is in your best interest, and always treat you as a person and not a condition. I am genuinely interested in helping my clients and I continuously strive to improve my clinical skillset to provide the best possible service that I can.

I work with a range of emotional, psychological, and behavioural disorders, but I also work with people simply looking to better manage stress, improve their productivity, improve interpersonal relationships, improve their self-esteem, or maintain healthy psychological functioning. I also offer psychological assessments available through The Rosy Room.

Thank you for visiting The Rosy Room, and I look forward to meeting you.

Hi, I’m Nadia, one of the clinical psychologists here at The Rosy Room.

I feel privileged to see the people I see and do the work I do here. I know when people come to therapy, particularly for the first time, it can be a big step- I am grateful to be working alongside those willing to take that step.

Currently I work with adolescents and adults. I see people who are needing a hand with anxiety, depression, relationship/family/and interpersonal issues, emotional regulation and anger management, study or exam stress, perfectionism, assertiveness skills, self-esteem concerns, and more.

I draw on evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), interpersonal therapy (IPT), schema therapy (ST), family systems therapy (FST), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). My approach is warm, laid back, and empathetic. I am interested in knowing what you want to achieve out of therapy, so I can offer strategies and skills to help. I will encourage you to reflect, be curious, and challenge yourself, so that you can build insight and grow. Each person is different, so we can adjust treatment and pace, depending on what you need.

In addition to psychology, I have worked across the mental health, disability, and community services sector since 2012 in various capacities. I have six brothers and a husband (so men’s mental health is personally quite important to me), I have an old kelpie dog who herds anything she sees, love a hot milo, and I hope to one day hike Kilimanjaro.

Thanks for reading about me. I look forward to meeting you at The Rosy Room.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to stop by. I guess you’re here because something in life doesn’t feel great at the moment. Firstly, good on you for recognising and owning that. Secondly, take a deep breath… help is on the way.

My name is Jessica and I am the owner of The Rosy Room. I am super passionate about caring for people and working alongside my clients to help achieve wellness. It is the biggest privilege to do this kind of work with my clients and witness tales of utter strength and resilience. Sitting in the raw, juicy, real, human stuff is my thing and I invite you to join me in that, if it so calls you.

My therapeutic approach is very warm, personable and real. You are not your symptoms or condition. You are a human with your strengths and challenges. My work with you is about highlighting habits that are not serving you and assisting you to take action that will propel you into the place you truly belong.

I draw on skills through a wide range of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy and Compassion Focussed Therapy. You come in as the expert in your life and I join you on your journey of growth as the expert in psychotherapy, and together we find what’s kinking your hose and getting in the way of you living a joyful and fullfilling life.

I work with adult clients over the age of 18, and I have experience in treating a wide variety of mental health conditions. However, you do not need to have a mental illness to see me, you might just be lost or stuck and in need of some guidance (or a gentle push). I can help you to find time in your life to fit in what’s important, to mend or leave an unhealthy relationship, to find courage to pursue your dreams, to create a healthy relationship with food and your body, or to transition into a new role such as motherhood. No problem is too big or too small.

My favourite areas to work in are-

1. self-esteem and confidence in women– developing self-love and acceptance, learning boundaries and assertive communication skills, kicking perfectionism to the curb.
2. Managing Health, weight and body image issues- creating a healthy relationship with food and your body through self-compassion, mindful eating and nourishing movement.
3. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder- learning how to turn down the volume on the unhelpful thoughts and turn up the volume of your wise, rational self.

If this calls you, you’re ready. Let’s begin the work. It might be tough, but trust me, it’ll be worth it.

P.s. I am not interested in working with clients who are not ready to take self responsibility- if I notice this I will call you out on it. Yes I can be your guide but ultimately you will be doing the work to change your life.

Hello, my name is Tynneille and I am a registered Psychologist at The Rosy Room. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me.

I consider it a great privilege to get to know someone in a therapeutic environment. Opening the door to let someone in takes courage and I look forward to supporting you. I work with people across the lifespan, utilising evidence-based approaches to help manage mental health conditions and everyday challenges. I tailor my therapeutic approach depending on your needs as a client, however I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Schema Therapy and Mindfulness Techniques. I am also qualified in using Gottman Therapy interventions for working with couples.

I approach all therapeutic encounters with patience, understanding, and genuine curiosity as I learn about your personal experiences. I aim to create a non-judgemental space where you can openly discuss your thoughts and feelings around your concerns.

I am currently completing my PhD at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) researching how our mood influences our ability to interpret and recognise emotion in others.

I look forward to meeting with you at The Rosy Room.

(Currently not taking on any new clients)

Hello, my name is Alyssa and I am a Clinical Psychologist. I currently work with adolescent and adult clients across a wide variety of presentations including depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal and communication challenges, post-traumatic stress disorder and a range of other emotional concerns. I also work with individuals who may feel lost in their journey with no specific emotional problem, but feel they need a helping hand in order to become a better version of themselves. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is to create a safe and collaborative relationship that is warm and personable.

I am very passionate about health, wellness and finding a holistic treatment method to help my clients. I believe there is no one size fits all in therapeutic approaches. I endeavour to help my clients develop a greater understanding of themselves, feel more empowered, and make lasting changes.

My approach to sessions is relaxed and human centred. I patiently work with clients, sitting alongside them through difficult times and giving them the gentle encouragement they may need. I consider it an honour to be given the opportunity to support my clients in living a more meaningful life.

At the moment I am currently providing telehealth sessions with clients that are private paying or through WorkCover and you can email me at Alyssa.Infantino@gmail.com to book.

Hello, I’m Ellie.

It is an honour to be the Practice Manager of The Rosy Room.

I am a genuine, kind and caring person and I love getting to know people and hearing all about their unique stories. When not at The Rosy Room I enjoy relaxing with my family and being a Mum.

One of the many reasons I love to work at The Rosy Room is that there is always a warm and inviting atmosphere and it is a privilege to work in such a supportive environment with a friendly and compassionate team. Through my role, I love that I am able to help others and ensure that everyone feels welcomed, encouraged and cared for.

Hey! My name is Lc

I am so pleased to be able to make you feel welcome here at The Rosy Room.

I am currently working my way through my Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology) at QUT. My passion for learning about and understanding psychology began while I was completing my Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice. I believe that learning to understand the inner workings of the mind can truly facilitate a greater understanding of oneself and those around them.

Something that I love about working here at The Rosy Room is that I am able to invite people in, in whatever way they need. It’s so exciting to be able to greet new and unique people everyday and do what I can to make them feel at home.

Hello, my name is Karen, and I feel proud to be a member of the warm and friendly team here at The Rosy Room. It is a privilege to welcome you into such a caring and nurturing environment, and I hope I can help you feel relaxed and comfortable at each visit.

After many years of working directly with people in various roles, I realised my passion for understanding more about the genuine inner person we all are. This led to me enrolling in Bachelor of Psychology (Honours), which I am currently working through and thoroughly enjoying.

When I’m not studying or working, you can often find me in nature somewhere, whether it be trail running, hiking, or camping. When I am relaxing, I love to spend time hanging out with my family.

Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me, and I look forward to chatting with you at The Rosy Room.
