About

Dr Imogene Smith is a Clinical Psychologist who works with adolescents and adults. She works to create a safe space for clients by being compassionate, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming. Imogene tailors her approach and draws on a range of evidence-based therapy modalities to support clients in working toward their goals. With the view that therapy is beneficial for most people, Imogene supports clients with social or interpersonal challenges, and life stage transitions such as becoming a parent, separation, or retirement.

Imogene’s doctoral research was on men’s mental health, particularly in the transition to fatherhood. She has an interest in working with new parents, expecting parents and people who are still deciding if they would like to become parents one day.

Imogene currently lectures and coordinates programs within the Master of Clinical Psychology (Post-Registration) program. Her research is currently focused on the benefits of self-compassion for psychology post graduate students.
