Resilience Matters Clinical Psychology
Welcome to Resilience Matters Clinical Psychology
ABN 74 267 593
Resilience Matters Clinical Psychology was founded by Clinical Psychologist Stuart Lokhee to bring the diverse skills of psychologists together.
The psychologists on this site provide independent, practical, compassionate and evidence-based assessment and treatment for children, adolescents and adults. We recognise that every person’s experiences, strengths and goals are unique, and we tailor treatment accordingly.
Our approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in current psychological research. Where appropriate, we can work collaboratively with GPs, psychiatrists, paediatricians, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals to support meaningful and lasting change.
Our Psychologists
We bring together skills across Clinical Psychology, Health Psychology and Counselling Psychology, with additional experience in research, education, professional supervision and diverse professional careers outside psychology.

How We Can Help
Psychological therapy can provide a way to explore what you are going through and begin to make sense of it in a clearer, more manageable way. When life feels overwhelming, whether due to anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, sleep difficulties, or relationship challenges, therapy can help you better understand what is happening, rather than feeling caught in it.
One view is that psychology helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, physical responses, and behaviours interact, and how these patterns maintain difficulties over time. Patterns can be shaped by past experiences and the meanings we have made from them, and deeper patterns, sometimes called schemas or core beliefs, can quietly influence how you see yourself, others, and the world.
Therapy helps bring these patterns into awareness so they can be understood and worked with. This may include learning practical strategies to manage stress and emotions, reduce overthinking, improve sleep, and strengthen coping. It can also involve processing difficult experiences in a safe and structured way, so they feel less overwhelming and less present in daily life.
For some people, therapy is also about reconnecting with personal values, strengths, and direction, and taking small, meaningful steps toward change.
While the methods may differ, the aim is the same: to help you feel more grounded, more able to cope with life’s challenges, and more connected to a sense of wellbeing.
Every person’s experience is unique, and therapy is tailored to your needs, goals, and pace.
