Insight. Presence. Compassion.

At Mindful Presence Psychology, I offer compassionate, evidence-based psychological support for adolescents and adults. I aim to provide a calm and supportive space to explore challenges, build insight, and foster meaningful change.

I offer therapy sessions to individuals, tailored to understand each person's unique strengths and needs. Whether you're seeking support for mental health challenges, emotional wellbeing, life stress and challenges, or space to explore patterns with greater awareness, I work with you to support your growth and clarity. 

Individual therapy sessions are available both in-person in Maroochydore, or via tele-health anywhere across Australia.

About Me

Kara Child

BSc (Psych), BPsychSc (Hons), MProfPsych, MAAPi

I became a psychologist to help people. Plain and simple. I want to help people navigate through the suffering and achieve emotional awareness and balance so they can live a life that is meaningful to them, whatever that looks like. Life can be hard, and challenging, and there can be times when it can be overwhelming, and seemingly too much. And there can also be times when you just feel lost without direction. This is where I believe it can be helpful to work with a psychologist. I work with people experiencing a range of mental health concerns including:

  • Anxiety & worry

  • Depression & low mood

  • PTSD and trauma 

  • Addiction

  • Stress & burnout

  • Emotion regulation difficulties

  • Adjustment to life changes/transitions

  • Anger management

  • ADHD

  • ASD

My approach to working with people is grounded in mindfulness-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), together with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I also provide EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).​ I have a keen interest in how Eastern philosophy can help with the challenges we face in today's world and integrate this into my work.
