Denisia Hockley

Denisia has had a diverse and colourful array of life experiences; these include a number of years as a Federal and State policewoman after which she devoted her time and energy to motherhood.

As an adult she entered academia and a very different life as a psychologist and psychotherapist. Having worked with many cultures including ATSI prison inmates, ordinary people "like you!", indigenous Australians in remote central Australia and a variety of people who, for a time, found themselves in psychiatric and/or personal crises.

As a psychotherapist she attended a conference in LA, USA where she pursued her interest in the effects of childhood experience on adult life consequences.

Her research has predominantly revolved around childhood and the effect of various styles of parenting as well as childhood experiences of emotional/psychological/ physical and sexual abuse.

She possesses an innate ability to connect with clients/people who for some reason or another find themselves at a time in life where counselling and/or psychotherapy can help them move forward to a happier more productive life.

An excellent and very 'user friendly' facilitator she runs group programs (authored and manualised by herself). These programs are guaranteed to be fun as well as efficacious. She also holds Certificate IV in workplace training and assessment.

She has extensive experience with those experiencing clinical psychiatric disorders which may include PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Phobias, and Relationship Issues. Above all, as a client of hers you can be assured of respect, empathy and genuine understanding.
