Dr Johanna King

Registered Clinical Psychologists

“An experienced psychologist working across the age range with a special interest in psychodynamic psychotherapy, as well as existential and systemic approaches.”

About Me

This experienced clinical psychologist supports individuals across all ages to navigate life's complexities. Drawing on psychodynamic, existential, and systemic approaches, they help clients understand how past experiences and relationships shape current challenges. Sessions create a thoughtful space to explore deep-seated patterns and find new perspectives. This thorough approach suits those seeking to make lasting sense of their inner world and connections.

Approach

Across life stages, I shape sessions to move at a measured pace, blending exploration of earlier relational patterns with practical attention to present choices. In my Perth clinic I offer appointments in English and Afrikaans, creating a calm, focused setting where adolescents, adults and families can speak openly. Work is collaborative: we trace how mood, anxiety or transitions are held in relationships, use reflective space to test new ways of relating, and sometimes set small between-session steps to practice change. This approach often helps people seeking steady, thoughtful shifts in their lives.
