Welcome, you have found a SAfe space to talk.

About you…

Are you feeling the pressure of life stressors? Have you experienced something traumatic and need help to process what happened? Do you experience depression or anxiety and would like support to cope?

I offer a safe and supportive space for you to talk, maybe for the first time, about the things you are experiencing now or the difficult events from your past. Through our work I aim to help you develop an understanding of your challenges, start the process of healing from stress and trauma, resolve symptoms of emotional suffering, and learn to utilise healthy coping responses.

 about me… 

Hi, my name is Dr Linn Aslund and I am a Clinical Psychologist working on the beautiful Gold Coast. I work in the field of adult clinical mental health with a particular interest in single event and complex trauma, mood disorders, as well as interpersonal, stress and adjustment challenges. I also provide treatment for those suffering from Tinnitus distress.

I have completed a Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), and have over 12 years experience working in mental health. I am registered as a Clinical Psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).

My approach to therapy comes from a genuine interest and care for your emotional wellbeing. My therapeutic framework is trauma informed and integrates aspects of Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (including Trauma Focused CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Somatic (body) work, and Mindfulness practices. For complex trauma presentations my treatment is based on the Three Phased Approach for Complex Trauma Therapy.

I welcome both old and new clients to join me in my beautiful new clinic in Labrador. Please be in contact if you would like to be on my waitlist!
