** Telehealth Only **
Caitlin Waldie is an AHPRA-registered psychologist offering inclusive, trauma-informed therapy via telehealth to adolescents and adults across Australia. Her approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative, with a strong focus on creating a space where clients feel safe, respected, and understood. Caitlin works alongside clients to explore challenges with curiosity and compassion, supporting meaningful and sustainable change at a pace that feels right for each individual.
Caitlin practices from a person-centred and strengths based framework, drawing on evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment informed models. Therapy is always tailored to the client’s unique context, values, identities, and lived experiences.
Across her work, Caitlin places particular emphasis on self-compassion, values-aligned living, and building a more supportive relationship with oneself. She works primarily with adolescents and adults, and is also open to working with children where telehealth is appropriate. Caitlin takes a collaborative approach and, where helpful, is happy to liaise with families, schools, workplaces, and other professionals as part of a broader support network. Neurodiversity-affirming practice
Caitlin has a particular passion for working with neurodivergent people, including Autistic individuals, ADHDers, and those exploring or adjusting to a later-in-life diagnosis. She practices from a neurodiversity affirming perspective, understanding neurodivergence not as a deficit, but as a natural and meaningful variation in how people experience and interact with the world.
She particularly enjoys supporting late-identified adolescents and adults to explore identity, unpack masking and people-pleasing patterns, navigate burnout, and develop practical supports for executive functioning, relationships, and work or study environments. Caitlin also works with families of children following diagnosis, offering emotional support, psychoeducation, and practical strategies to foster regulation, connection, and confidence.
Her work in this area is informed by both professional and lived experience, and by ongoing involvement in research. Caitlin recently co-authored a national study
examining what neurodiversity-affirming psychology looks like in practice, contributing to the development of models of care that centre lived experience, safety, and respect.
Psychosexual therapy
Alongside her psychology training, Caitlin has completed a Master of Science in Medicine (Sexual and Reproductive Health), specialising in psychosexual therapy. She brings this specialised lens into her therapeutic work with clients exploring sexuality, gender, body image, intimacy, and sexual wellbeing.
Caitlin works across a broad range of psychosexual concerns, including identity exploration, sexual functioning and desire differences, shame, and the psychological impacts of sexual trauma. She also has a strong interest in menstrual and reproductive mental health, including premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), perimenopause, and menopause, and supports clients navigating the emotional, relational, and identity impacts of hormonal and life-stage transitions.
Additional areas of support
Caitlin also works with individuals experiencing:
● Chronic illness and disability, including ME/CFS, POTS, hEDS, MCAS, and other invisible or fluctuating conditions
● Stress, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and low self-esteem
● Mood and anxiety disorders, including depression, generalised anxiety, panic disorder, health anxiety, OCD, and social anxiety
Caitlin currently works with Medicare clients with a Mental Health Treatment Plan, self and plan-managed NDIS participants, and private clients. All sessions are delivered via telehealth (video or phone), offering flexibility, accessibility, and comfort. After-hours appointments are available. Outside of work, Caitlin enjoys walking her border collie, Maisie, spending time with loved ones, and getting lost in a good book. She is always happy to accept a book recommendation.
