Naomi de Weger

Naomi de Weger is a clinical psychologist working in Thornbury, Melbourne and via Telehealth. She works with adults with trauma responses, abuse and neglect, loss, anxiety disorders, life transitions, relationships, and existential themes. Naomi primarily uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT). When working with people experiencing PTSD or C-PTSD, she tends to offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Naomi is trained in Narrative Therapy and Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Her practice is also informed by Schema Therapy.

No single approach works with everyone. Naomi tailors therapy to focus on what matters most to the person. She seeks to build honest therapeutic relationships, grounded in empathy and uses feedback to collaboratively adjust her approach. A priority includes non-stigmatising of mental ill health by understanding concerns within their context (and providing diagnostic assessment where that may be useful).

Naomi welcomes working with people of any spiritual or religious background, and gender, sexual and relationship-structure minorities. She aims to work in a culturally sensitive, neurodiversity-affirming, and body and size-inclusive way.

Naomi seeks to create spaces where people feel safe to engage in the challenge of therapy.

I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations and the ways in which their elders past and present have cared for and nurtured their lands and waters for millennia. I extend this acknowledgement to all Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people connected to each of the hundreds of countries that make up the continent that is called Australia. I was born here and am of Dutch migrant and English and Irish settler descent. I hold in mind the traumatic impacts of colonisation which continue today and that I benefit from unceded lands and waters for which a treaty has yet to be negotiated.
