Dr Clair Lawson

I’m Dr Clair Lawson, the founder and Director of Lawson Clinical Psychology. I started LCP over 16 years ago because I wanted to create a practice where clinicians could do meaningful, evidence-based work and feel safe, supported and proud of what they achieve.

What began as one small clinic has grown into a group of practices, including services in remote communities. But for me, it’s not about size or numbers. It’s about the people. It’s about the culture we’ve built together and the way we show up for each other and our clients every day. When clinicians feel valued and connected, great care follows. That’s what really matters.

People describe me as direct, fair and transparent. I believe in being clear and honest, working together, and creating a space where people can do their best work without unnecessary stress. I care deeply about building a team that strives for excellence because they believe in what we’re doing.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me planning my next trip, baking something messy or being followed around by my cat, Ziggy.

Sonja Williams

Making the decision to see a psychologist can feel daunting, but as the saying goes, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Together, we’ll take one step at a time, working on what’s important to you, at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m Sonja, a Senior Clinical Psychologist who has worked with adults for over 20 years. I support clients who have difficult family patterns, trauma, anxiety, stress, low mood, and that feeling of being “not good enough.” Together, we’ll explore how things came to be, break free from unhelpful patterns, and take meaningful steps toward emotional wellness and a more fulfilling life.

Clients describe my approach as warm, open, non-judgemental, and compassionate. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches to find the right fit for them. Approaches include EMDR, Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).

I’m also passionate about mentoring and supervising early-career and experienced psychologists, and value the opportunity to give back to the profession.

When I’m not with clients, you’ll find me snorkelling, walking in nature, or trying out new recipes.

Hi, I’m Rebecca, a compassionate and collaborative Senior Clinical Psychologist who works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families.

I support clients experiencing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, emotion regulation difficulties (such as self-harm and suicidal ideation), adjustment issues, parent–child attachment concerns, parenting difficulties, and relationship challenges.

My strength is tailoring therapy to each person’s needs, drawing on a variety of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Systemic Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapies.

Understanding yourself or your child shouldn’t feel overwhelming. I’m here to provide clarity and direction.

I’m Kelly, a clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience in both cognitive assessment and therapeutic work. I have substantial experience understanding how people think, learn, and experience the world, providing assessments for learning disorders, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, giftedness, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).

I work with individuals of all ages, helping them and their families make sense of their strengths and challenges through cognitive assessments. Whether your child is struggling in the classroom, your teen feels overwhelmed, or you’re an adult wondering why things have always felt a little harder, I offer insights that can open doors to the right support and strategies.

My approach is warm, thorough, and practical—I believe assessments should be more than just a report; they should be a roadmap to your success. I also love mentoring and supervising other psychologists and sharing my knowledge to help improve assessment practices.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me at the beach, lost in a good book, travelling and exploring Western Australia (and beyond), or unwinding with some guilty-pleasure trash TV.

If you’re feeling alone in your suffering, please know—you’re not. To be human is to suffer.

I’m Lucy, a senior clinical psychologist, and I work with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just not quite themselves. My job is to really listen—to help you feel heard, understood, and less alone in whatever you’re going through.

Together, we’ll make sense of why things feel so hard right now and what might be keeping you stuck. I’ll support you in finding new ways to respond to your challenges and encourage you to reconnect with the things that really matter to you. I’d love to help you move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with who you are.

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve worked with adults facing anxiety, depression, parenting stress, perinatal difficulties, chronic pain, health issues, grief and loss, relationship and work problems, trauma-related difficulties, low self-esteem, self-criticism, perfectionism, and more.

Dr Emily Castell

Lots of clients come to therapy knowing they want to feel differently, but not knowing what they want to work on. It’s ok not to know—we can work that out together!

I’m Emily (She/Her), a senior clinical psychologist, helping teens and adults to not only reduce the not-so-good stuff they’re feeling, but get more of what they want in life. I work with clients who want to trust their own judgment and find freedom from relationship and family patterns.

With six years’ experience in private practice, I’ve worked with clients feeling down, anxious, experiencing relationship or family issues, exploring neurodivergence, sexuality and or gender identity, people impacted by trauma, and those experiencing or recovering from family and domestic violence.

Clients often say that I am quiet, calm, and gentle, offering space to reflect. I bring a warm, playful, and transparent approach to therapy and don’t shy away from being direct when needed.

In therapy, expect deep conversations, experiential activities like chair work and imagery rescripting, and collaborative whiteboard sessions to map things out.

Outside of sessions, I love planning my latest nail set, eating pastries, swimming at the beach, watching early-morning Rage with my daughter, and drinking very good coffee.

My approach is warm, caring, and flexible, allowing us to focus on what really matters each time someone walks through my door.

I genuinely love what I do and feel lucky to walk alongside my clients—supporting them through challenges, celebrating their wins, and helping them move towards the life they want to live.

In my free time, you’ll find me trying out new recipes, relaxing with yoga, or playing at the beach with my kids.

Making the decision to start therapy can take time. It’s normal to feel uncertain about where to begin. You may have a clear goal for therapy, or perhaps just feel that you would like things to be different.

I’m Chloe, a clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and adults. The people I work with are struggling with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, low mood, emotional regulation difficulties, and interpersonal difficulties.

In my work, I enjoy collaborating with clients and shape therapy to people’s individual needs. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to support meaningful change.

It’s important for me to understand the research underlying psychology so that I can bring these insights into my therapeutic work. Alongside clinical practice, I also work as a researcher, and I completed a PhD exploring the relationships between social anxiety, shyness, autistic-like traits, and face recognition.

Outside of therapy and research, I enjoy spending time in nature and searching for the next book to read!

Sophia Lego

We all have different parts of ourselves that shape how we think, feel, and behave. Sometimes these parts work together, but other times they pull us in different directions, leaving us stuck or overwhelmed.

I’m Sophia, a Clinical Psychologist who helps adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

I understand how consuming struggles like anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, perfectionism, worry, self-esteem issues, stress, and relationship difficulties can be. With a deep appreciation for the complexities of human experience, I work with clients to explore the parts of self and the patterns—thinking, behavioural, and relational—that keep them stuck.

Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, trauma-informed care, and Schema Therapy, I create a warm, collaborative space where clients feel supported to challenge, reframe, and shift unhelpful patterns, building skills that lead to lasting change.

My approach helps create self-compassion, emotional flexibility, and a sense of balance—so that you take meaningful steps toward the life you want.

Above all, I want you to feel truly heard, valued, and empowered.

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring new cafés with a coffee in hand or unwinding by the beach.

When you come to see me, you’ll immediately feel warmly welcomed. What you’ll get with me is my unbroken focus. I listen well and I listen deep. I genuinely love spending time with people no matter how they might be feeling—it’s why I do what I do.

I work with young children, adults, and couples—anyone wanting to understand themselves more deeply, create real change, or who feels so broken that they need someone to stay with them while they find hope.

I’m experienced in helping people with relationships, parenting challenges and complicated family dynamics. Some of the therapy models I use are ACT, EFT for couples, systemic therapy, and attachment-focused therapy.

Therapy with me isn’t always dark or difficult. Sometimes we’ll laugh together or notice the absurd in life. There’s one thing I am steadfast about: You are not broken. You’re stronger than you think. In my years of experience, I’ve learned why therapy works when it works, and why people get stuck. I’ll help you make sense of your situation and yourself, so that you’ll know how to move forwards and thrive.

I won’t just apply a manual to you—we’ll write the manual for you instead.

Being a therapist is a privilege I deeply respect.

Seeking help takes courage, especially for those who've experienced hurt or felt unseen in past relationships. That’s why I strive to create a safe, collaborative space in therapy built on humility, authentic connection, and curiosity. Through my work, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of articulating previously unspoken experiences and feeling truly understood.

I’m Tahlia, a clinical psychologist. My role is to guide you in making sense of your story, processing painful experiences, overcoming obstacles to a fulfilling life, and cultivating your authentic self. Sometimes that means offering frameworks to help you better understand unhelpful patterns, suggesting strategies for approaching your thoughts and feelings differently, or working through difficult past experiences using techniques like imagery rescripting or EMDR. We’ll work together to figure out what fits best for you.

I draw from and integrate a range of therapies, including Schema, EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT.

All clients are welcome, regardless of background or concerns. I’m especially drawn to working with PTSD and complex trauma, relationship and self-esteem difficulties, and neurodivergence. I am affirming of all genders, sexualities, neurotypes and cultural backgrounds.

Hearing your stories, sharing your pain, and seeing your growth has been profoundly humbling and has deepened my sense of purpose in helping you find yours. The journeys we take in therapy are not easy or pain-free, and often come with bumps, scrapes, and tears — but the destination is a place of acceptance, confidence, and understanding.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, perfectionism, low mood, big life transitions, or performance pressures, I’m here to offer support grounded in trauma-informed care, evidence-based strategies, and authentic conversations.

With experience in both athletic and artistic spaces, I understand the pressures that come with performance—whether on the field, on stage, or in everyday life. You not only want to improve your craft, but also build resilience to handle challenges along the way.

My work draws on therapies like CBT, ACT, and DBT, but I always adapt them to suit your needs. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening now and take steps towards the future you want.

Outside of work, you’ll find me dancing, staying active, listening to music, or enjoying a big meal with my Italian family.

Chloe Nunn

I’m Chloe, a Clinical Psychologist with a passion for helping you not just get by, but truly thrive. I always say, “Why struggle if you don’t have to?”

I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life across the lifespan, including emergency first responders. I understand how challenging life can be. Whether you’re carrying something you’ve never shared before or navigating a tough situation, I’m here to listen—without judgment—and help you through it.

In therapy, we’ll dig deep to uncover the root of your struggles, then create a personalised plan for lasting change. You're the heart of the process, and your growth is my priority.

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy spending time at my family’s cattle station—swimming in the creek, driving out to check on the cows, or riding my horse, Starki. (Who, by the way, has impressive bloodlines—his sire was a Melbourne Cup winner!)

You’re not alone on this journey. I would love to support you on the next step toward a better you.

Tom Callaghan

It’s easy to get stuck when “what if” thoughts creep in, leaving you feeling worried, overwhelmed, anxious, or sad.

I’m Tom, a Clinical Psychology Registrar, and I help people untangle thoughts and feelings that get in the way of living life fully. My approach is curious and collaborative, working alongside you to find ways of thriving.

In session, you can expect guided reflection to help you better understand your patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. I pair this with structured strategies to help reduce the burden and create more clarity. I do this using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and am Level 1 trained in Schema Therapy.

Outside of the four therapy room walls, you’ll likely find me running, drinking coffee, or enjoying live sports. I live by the quote, “If it’s hard, I will do it now. If it’s impossible, I will do it presently.” — Don Bradman.

Aimee

It’s an honour to support individuals and families in accessing psychological support and therapy. Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, so I aim to be a warm and welcoming voice to guide you through the process.

My name’s Aimee (she/her). I recently completed a Bachelor of Psychological Science and Criminology and hope to continue my studies. My long-term goal is to support young people and families seeking justice, safety, and successful reintegration into the community.

I have a deep love for people and connection, which has led me to volunteer in youth programs that promote safety, support, and belonging for young people.

Being part of the client relationship team at Lawson Clinical Psychology sparked my passion for people. Problem-solving is a strength of mine, whether it’s rescheduling an appointment or guiding you through the often confusing Medicare process. I’m here to help you.

Outside of work, I enjoy coffee, long walks, and good chats with close friends. My two big Maremma dogs, many cats, and mini farm animals are my world. You’ll often find me on spontaneous four-wheel-drive and outdoor adventures with friends and family.

As a former barista, I’m passionate about coffee—so feel free to request one in the clinic or ask for local café recommendations!

With a keen eye for detail (yes, I colour-code LCP’s calendar) and a natural ability to multitask, I help keep things in order—scheduling appointments, handling enquiries, and making sure everything is where it needs to be.

I genuinely care about the people I work with and take pride in creating a warm, supportive environment for both clients and colleagues. Fun fact: I also love a good laugh—I firmly believe a bit of fun makes the workplace a better place for everyone!

Outside of work, I’m passionate about mental health and community support. I volunteer as a crisis supporter with Lifeline and help neurodivergent students transition to university. I’m also working towards my Bachelor of Psychology, with the goal of pursuing a career in clinical psychology—driven by my passion for making a meaningful impact in people’s lives.

Ellie

I’m Ellie a member of our Client Relationship Team. Creating a warm and welcoming environment for clients is something I care deeply about.

Therapy may feel daunting, so I prioritise making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. It brings me joy when clients feel comfortable enough to relax and make themselves at home. Whether that’s having a small chat at reception, helping themselves to a tea, letting us make them a coffee, or them quietly settling into the space.

I also love supporting our clinicians when they need assistance. Our support ensures the clinic runs smoothly so your therapist can focus on providing the best possible care to you.

Outside of my work, I'm passionate about furthering my knowledge, which is why I'm currently studying counselling and learning AUSLAN to better connect with a wider range of people.

Other than this, you can usually find me at the beach with friends, gardening, reading a good book with my cat on my lap, or practicing yoga to unwind.

Admin support is not just about ticking off tasks. The best admin support is about creating systems that make work easier for everyone.

My name is Natasha and I’m Clair Lawson’s Personal Assistant (I also like to think of myself as being the team’s ‘girl Friday,’ helping wherever I am needed).

Although I don’t connect with clients at LCP directly, I take great pride in working behind the scenes to support clinicians and the Client Relationship Team in any way I can.

The LCP value of always putting the person first applies not only to the relationships between clinicians and clients, it’s truly evident in all communication within the team. It’s a real privilege to work with such wonderful humans.

When I am not tapping away on my laptop, I love to sit down in a quiet moment, in a comfy spot, with a great book and a nice strong cup of tea.

Starting therapy is about allowing yourself space to pause, reflect and be met with understanding.

Hi I’m Georgia, a Clinical Psychologist who works with children, teenagers and adults. My role is to create a safe space where you can show up as you are, without judgement. I will walk alongside you as we make sense of what feels hard right now and move toward a life guided by what matters most to you.

I tailor my approach to focus on what works best for your unique needs and style. I utilise evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I support people to navigate a wide range of concerns including OCD, anxiety, depression and trauma. I am passionate about helping people to understand how their brain works best, including embracing neurodivergence.

Outside of sessions, I enjoy reading, being in nature, finding new places to eat and listening to music.

Michelle Teo

The foundation of healing begins with a safe connection.

My role is to offer a secure, grounded, and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, explore your emotional landscape, and make sense of your unique story. I believe the most powerful changes emerge from a truly collaborative relationship built on trust and gentle curiosity, especially when navigating feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, or past experiences.

I am Michelle, a Clinical Psychologist Registrar. My therapeutic approach is centered on empowering you with skills for lasting change. I utilise various evidence-based frameworks, tailoring them to your individual needs and goals. My core modalities include Schema Therapy (for restructuring long-standing emotional patterns), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Approaches (for emotional regulation and awareness), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I also integrate techniques like Parts Work and imagery rescripting, informed by my research on how mindfulness reduces depressive symptoms.

I completed a Master of Clinical Psychology and have diverse experience working with adults, young people, and families across hospital, outpatient, and private practice settings. This background has equipped me to support clients through a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment challenges, and emotion regulation challenges.

I approach therapy with genuine warmth, groundedness, and a gentle sense of humour, ensuring you feel seen and valued. My philosophy is "Healthy mind, healthy body." Outside of work, I pursue this by staying active (jogging, yoga) and indulging my hobby as an avid fruit hunter, always on the lookout for seasonal picks.

Lola Goedhart

Hi, I’m Lola a member of the Client Relationship Team here at Lawson Clinical Psychology. My goal is to ensure that every client feels supported, comfortable, and heard from the moment they walk in the door. I understand that starting your therapeutic journey can feel overwhelming, so I make it my priority to provide a warm and welcoming environment for all.

I am passionate about helping others and fostering positive connections. This passion has fueled my desire to create spaces where people can feel seen, heard, and understood, which has led me to volunteer with at-risk high school students to support them through their journey to adulthood. On top of this, I am currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology, which I hope to pursue further.

When I’m not busy at work or studying, you can always find me with a good book (or my Kindle!) in hand. If I don’t have my nose buried in a book, you might find me spending quality time with my little dog Charlie, or outdoors in our beautiful South West, where I am originally from.

I am always here to help make your experience as smooth and comfortable as possible, whether you’re navigating seeking help for the first time, booking appointments, or need a local café recommendation.

Hi I'm Beth, a member of the Client Relationship Team at Lawson Clinical Psychology. I’m here to help make starting therapy feel less daunting and that first step a little easier for clients.

I’m currently completing my Master of Counselling and hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology. One day, I hope to support children as a school counsellor—a path inspired by my passion for mental health and my years of hands-on experience as both a nanny and a gymnastics coach.

Working closely with children has shown me just how powerful a safe, supportive environment can be in helping young people build confidence, form healthy relationships, and develop lifelong skills. I’m honoured to be part of a team that helps make those kinds of spaces possible.

Outside of work, you can find me spending time with friends and family, swimming at the beach (inside the shark net), or in the kitchen baking something sweet.

Julia Banfield

Supporting someone through therapy often means walking with them in a way that feels steady, warm, and gently encouraging—sometimes guiding, sometimes matching their pace, and sometimes simply holding space when things feel overwhelming.

I’m Julia, a Clinical Psychology Registrar, and I’m passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults to better understand themselves and feel more grounded in their everyday lives. I have a particular interest in neurodiversity and eating disorders, and I often work with clients experiencing anxiety, low mood, emotional dysregulation, identity exploration, and challenges at school, work, or within relationships.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and steady. I draw on CBT, ACT, DBT, and Schema-informed approaches, adapting each to suit your goals and energy. Whether you come in with a clear direction or just a sense that something needs to shift, we can figure it out together at a pace that feels manageable.

In our sessions, you can expect thoughtful conversations, practical strategies, and collaborative mapping to make sense of what’s going on. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to be fully yourself.

Outside of work, I love travelling and exploring new coffee and pastry spots around Perth. You’ll often find me walking my dog Hudson, dancing, heading to the beach, and switching to a new creative hobby on a weekly basis.

If you’re looking for a space that feels safe, grounded, and genuinely supportive, I’d love to work together.

It is natural to feel apprehensive about speaking with someone you have never met about very personal challenges you are facing. My goals while working with you are to help you feel comfortable and safe about opening up and to work at your pace on issues that are important to you.

I’m Josh, a Clinical Psychologist who works with adults. My clinical experience over the past 23 years is very broad as I have resisted the urge to specialise in certain challenges, however I have developed some interest areas that I am passionate about. My work with adults has included assisting them to deal with relationship difficulties, all types of anxiety, depression, bipolar, work stress, friendship difficulties, ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, work related challenges, trauma, significant life events, life stress, a life changing medical diagnosis, and parenting.

I use an eclectic approach drawing mainly from ACT, CBT, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, and Transactional Analysis to achieve powerful outcomes for my clients. I would describe my therapeutic style as highly relational and warm, with a good dose of humour at times yet directive and clear when you need me to be. In fact, clients often comment that they feel they can tell me anything which allows us to work more directly and effectively on what really matters.

In my spare time, you will find me walking my border collie, spending time with family and friends, or at the beach.
