About Craig
Craig Parker
Psychologist, MAAPi
I’m a registered psychologist with over 10 years working in mental health. My experience spans adult mental health, suicide intervention, and my current role as a psychologist at a local youth service counselling teenagers and young adults.
Therapeutic Approach
I believe therapy works best when built on a collaborative relationship where you feel safe, heard and respected. Everyone’s situation is unique, which is why I adapt evidence-based approaches to match your specific needs and goals.
My practice draws from several therapeutic frameworks:
– Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
– Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
– Schema Therapy
– Ericksonian Brief Therapy
– Mindfulness training
Professional Registration
– Registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)
– Member of the Australian Association of Psychologists (AAPi)
Adults
Psychotherapy and Counselling for adults
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or life’s challenges? Perhaps you’re struggling with relationship issues, work stress, or finding direction in life. Many of my clients initially feel stuck, unsure how to move forward, and looking for real, lasting change.
I create a supportive, confidential space where you can:
– Develop practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress
– Work through relationship and family challenges
– Navigate life transitions and career pressures
– Build stronger self-awareness and confidence
– Process grief, trauma, and past experiences
Drawing from evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and Schema Therapy, I’ll work with you to address both immediate concerns and develop lasting positive change.

Adolescents and Teenagers
13 years and over
Today’s teenagers face unique pressures and challenges. Whether dealing with anxiety, school stress, friendship issues, or family dynamics, having the right support can make a significant difference.
With extensive experience in youth mental health services, I understand the importance of creating a space where young people feel comfortable, heard, and respected.
I work with teenagers to:
– Build practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress
– Navigate school pressures and academic expectations
– Develop stronger relationships with family and friends
– Understand and manage emotions effectively
– Build confidence and resilience
– Work through identity and direction questions
My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a relaxed, engaging style that helps teens feel comfortable and understood. I believe in working collaboratively with young people, helping them develop their own tools for managing challenges while building independence and confidence.
Have Questions?
I understand that seeking help for your teenager can feel daunting. Parents often have questions about how therapy might help their specific situation.
Feel free to email me to discuss your teenager’s needs or request a brief phone consultation.
