Hi, I'm Dr Tracey Weiland
Clinical Psychologist in Yarrambat
My work is based on the premise that change is possible.
Life is hard. Obstacles, unexpected experiences, and events are normal parts of life. How we cope with adversity can positively or negatively impact mental health. So too, can our biological predispositions and temperament.
While we cannot change life events themselves, and biology is to some extent “fixed” or stable, a significant component that determines how we fare in terms of mental wellbeing is what I term “Resilience Resources”. Think of this as your toolkit: An eclectic array of skills, strategies, perspectives, behaviours and ways of approaching and solving problems.
Change is possible because these factors can be acquired, learned, or experienced.
Lasting change demands a future-focused outlook that builds hope, positivity, and momentum for change. In therapy, these factors lead to a greater readiness to try solutions and strategies.

What I Value as a Therapist
My values in therapy are guided by what leads to effective change.
Openness and Curiosity
Being honest and open to experience aids the flexible "growth mindset" that promotes development. Closely aligned to openness is Curiosity. A sense of wonder about ourselves and the world fosters a non-judgemental approach, allows space for emotional discomfort, and facilitates attempts to change patterns that no longer serve us.
Autonomy
It's your journey, not mine. Taking an active role in your therapy leads to sustained change. This means making decisions and taking action aligned with values and goals (but not necessarily feelings!). I will be in your corner, encouraging you to create your destiny, identifying blind spots and ways to overcome barriers so you can face the tough stuff.
Persistence
Let's not fool ourselves. Change takes work. And the work of therapy can test spirits and minds. You may require a stop-start treatment approach or discover that a continuous, iterative change process is more effective. But keep at it. And if you "show up" to work – the work of therapy - then I show up too.
Collaboration
A shared vision of your future is essential in forming client-centred goals that align with meaningful outcomes. When we are on the same page and working effectively as a team, we achieve enduring outcomes rapidly. Coaching and accountability are success makers to befriend.
Optimism
Although great insight can come by analysing the past, lasting change demands a future-focused outlook that builds hope, positivity, and momentum for change. In therapy, these factors lead to a greater readiness to try solutions and strategies.
Client-centredness
Therapy works best when adapted to client readiness and tailored to client needs, strengths, goals, preferences and uniqueness.
