Meet the Team

Pam Saunders-Ward 

Founder - Registered Psychologist

Hi, I’m Pam Saunders-Ward, a registered psychologist with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I have worked across both the United Kingdom and Australia, providing evidence-based psychological therapies to a diverse range of clients.

I provide a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach, helping clients process difficult emotions and better understand behavioural responses in a safe and supportive environment.

I utilise a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have a particular interest in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, working collaboratively to guide them through recovery.

I enjoy working with a wide range of clients and have a special interest in working with children and families, as well as Defence personnel, Veterans, NDIS and frontline workers.

In addition, I offer specialised services including report writing, professional supervision, and other tailored supports. Please feel free to get in touch for further information.

Let me support you in meeting your goals. I am available for both online and in-person sessions.

With five to six years of university training, she brings strong clinical skills and a genuine commitment to delivering high-quality care.

Working with a provisional psychologist is a great option for those seeking evidence-based psychological support at a more affordable rate. You will receive professional, thoughtful care aligned with the high standards of our practice.

Provisional psychologists are closely supported by experienced, Board-approved supervisors, ensuring clear treatment planning and quality clinical outcomes.

Georgia is in the final stages of her clinical placement and works under the supervision of our AHPRA Board-approved supervisor, ensuring the highest standard of care across all cases.

She brings valuable experience from Solid Rock Psychology and the ISN Clinic, where she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of assessment and therapeutic settings.

Georgia enjoys working with a diverse range of clients and utilises evidence-based therapies tailored to individual needs. She also offers specialised assessments in ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
