Romy Briner is a registered Clinical and Perinatal Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology.
Romy is passionate about supporting parents and infants during the perinatal period. She understands the importance of people receiving non-judgemental and compassionate care during this tender time.
Romy provides individual psychotherapy. Some of the issues she can help with include:
- Treatment for depression and/or anxiety in pregnancy and the postpartum
- Support in one’s recovery from a traumatic birth
- Coping with the adjustment to parenthood, including changes in the couple’s relationship
- Strengthening one’s bond with baby
- Processing childhood issues that may arise during pregnancy or after birth
Romy uses psychodynamic and attachment-informed principles as the foundation of her therapeutic work. Babies are welcome to attend sessions.
“I recognise that reaching out to a psychologist takes considerable courage. I aim to provide a
safe space for clients to put their thoughts and feelings into words. This is so they can
understand themselves better and find ways to create meaningful change. I hope to help clients
find fulfilment in their parenting experience, and to foster a secure and loving bond with their
infant.”
In addition to her formal psychology education, Romy has completed an introductory course in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy through the Victorian Association of Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapists (VAPP) and training in the Circle of Security-Parenting program.
