About Carly Dober


Carly is a psychologist with a particular interest in the issues that may stem from difficult life experiences. 


She has previously held governance posotions as a Director at the Australian Association of Psychologists Incorporated (AAPi) and at Body Safety Australia. 


She is an Ahpra Board Approved Supervisor.


Carly has experience in guiding individuals to understand themselves, their experiences, and their social context, in order to reach a place of greater self-acceptance and increased wellbeing. As part of the process, she supports clients in understanding and responding to emotions, developing assertiveness to strengthen boundaries, understanding trauma and how this impacts behaviours and functioning, and unpacking and challenging gender stereotypes. Carly is passionate about preventative mental health care, acknowledging the multitude of systemic and social actors that may get in the way of our optimal wellbeing.


Carly takes a person-centered, holistic approach to therapy; she draws from eco-psychology, and utilises evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness, and Nature Therapy to help clients break free from the negative life patterns that underlie longstanding psychological difficulties and challenging relationships. At the heart of Carly's approach is the belief that all of our emotions make sense and hold important information about our values and needs.


Carly is a trained Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist, yoga teacher,  and is a passionate climate and conservation activist.
