Gavin Ivey
Clinical Psychologist & Psychotherapist
Dr Gavin Ivey (M.Clin, Ph.D.) is a Clinical Psychologist and psychotherapist, with more than 30 years professional experience. In addition to ongoing client work, he has trained psychologists in various universities, supervises other psychologists, and has published numerous scholarly articles in the field of psychology and psychotherapy.
Gavin believes that lasting psychological growth involves more than learning cognitive 'strategies', and that self-discovery, self-insight and self-acceptance lie at the heart of each healing journey. His clients can expect to be emotionally challenged as well as supported, and to be guided by an experienced, insightful, curious and compassionate psychotherapist.
Gavin tailors his therapeutic approach to each person’s unique experiences and difficulties, respecting clients’ complexity and potential for change. His therapeutic stance is informed by the interpersonal, attachment, and psychodynamic traditions.
Gavin works individually with adult clients experiencing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, identity conflicts, grief and loss. He treats people of all genders but has a special interest in men’s psychological struggles.
Gavin consults at Chrysalis Allied Health on Thursdays and Fridays.
