Biyanka Dhother

Senior Clinical Psychologist

I am a licensed Brisbane-based clinical psychologist with a passion for helping adults navigate life’s challenges and move toward greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and meaningful change. I have over ten years of experience as a practicing psychologist, with a background spanning private practice, inpatient, and outpatient settings. I offer a compassionate, collaborative, and client-centred space where you can explore barriers and develop practical tools for growth. While I welcome and work with adults of all genders, I hold a special passion for supporting women as they process trauma, manage their mental health, and navigate life's unique transitions and complexities.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or a desire for personal growth, I aim to provide a non-judgemental, safe, and caring space for exploration and healing.

My approach to therapy is eclectic, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities to meet each client’s unique needs and goals. I am deeply passionate about Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed work and lean heavily into this framework. However, I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership, and I fluidly integrate other therapies and modalities as per your specific wishes and needs. Ultimately, I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make changes that matter most to you. Whether you're working through something specific or seeking deeper insight into long-standing patterns, I'm here to support your journey.

I understand that seeking mental health support can be anxiety inducing and challenging for many people, and I aim to make therapy a comfortable and safe space for all.

I believe that there are no trivial concerns, and I am open to discussing anything that may be impacting your mental health and well-being. I look forward to meeting you, getting to know you, and being there for you with each step.

In my personal life, I find joy in simple moments—spending time with my husband and our two-year-old daughter, being in nature, and exploring new recipes in the kitchen. I believe that genuine connection and openness are key to meaningful relationships, both personally and professionally, and I’m always happy to share more about myself if you’d like to know.
