My name is Dr Mary Asic-Kobe. I am a Clinical Psychologist offering various services, including assessment and diagnosis, evidence-based psychological therapies, cross-cultural counselling, clinical supervision, and organisational consulting.

Before establishing Restore Psychology, I worked in both clinical and senior management roles in the non-profit sector. In my roles, she managed a torture and trauma counselling service, provided individual and group therapy, and delivered psychological well-being and cross-cultural mental health workshops. Additionally, I conducted training and supervision of staff and university students, managed government contracts, and facilitated research and program evaluation.

My therapeutic approach stems from a range of theoretical perspectives and evidence-based treatment approaches, including CBT Therapy, EMDR Therapy, and Schema Therapy, among others. In addition, my extensive experience working with people across the lifespan and from various socio-economic backgrounds and cultures has enhanced my skills in adapting therapy to reflect my client’s individual needs, perspectives, and desired outcomes.

My areas of interest include depression, anxiety, complex trauma, grief and loss, chronic health issues, adjustment difficulties, work-life balance, clarifying values and life goals, problem-solving, communication skills and assertiveness training, among other presenting issues.

More broadly, I am strongly focused on working with her clients to self-manage their symptoms, achieve lasting change, and, most importantly, improve their quality of life. I am committed to improving my performance through client feedback, monitoring outcomes, and self-evaluation, all of which are important aspects of facilitating positive change.
