Mikayla Conlan

My aim is to help clients build authentic and fulfilling lives. This often starts with us working to make sense of yourself and your experiences, and cultivating self-compassion. We work collaboratively together on what is important for you. I strive to provide a warm and nonjudgemental space that is neuro-affirming and culturally responsive.

I’ve been working at Jeffery & Ree Clinical Psychologists since 2022 and I work with people across the lifespan across a range of presenting concerns, such as:

  • Mood difficulties including depression: low mood, loss of motivation, hopelessness, and difficulty enjoying life.
  • Anxiety: excessive worry, overthinking, social anxiety, panic, and difficulty coping with uncertainty.
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): intrusive thoughts, compulsions, checking, reassurance-seeking, and perfectionism.
  • Trauma responses and PTSD: the impact of difficult or distressing experiences, including ongoing emotional and relationship difficulties.
  • Self-esteem: self-criticism, low confidence, perfectionism, and feelings of not being good enough.
  • Stress, burnout and adjustment difficulties:  feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, struggling with life changes, or finding it difficult to balance competing demands.
  • Sleep difficulties: insomnia, difficulty falling or staying asleep, poor sleep quality, and the impact of sleep problems on daily functioning.
  • Emotional regulation difficulties: feeling overwhelmed, reacting strongly to situations, frequent irritability, anger, shame, sadness, or impulsive behaviours,

I use evidence-based treatments tailored to your goals, including:

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy,
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy,
  • Schema Therapy
  • Self-compassion
  • Family Systems based interventions.

I completed my undergraduate training at the University of Western Australia, and a Masters of Applied Psychology in Clinical Psychology at Murdoch University.

When not at work, I enjoy reading a good book, trying out new recipes, and keeping active.
