About Libby

Libby Purcell | Registered Psychologist, Vida Psychology Support

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 25 years’ experience providing collaborative psychological support to children, young people, adults and families. I offer a warm, flexible and client-centred approach, tailoring support to meet individual needs.

I have a keen interest in the strong connection between physical and mental health, and how factors such as sleep, exercise, nutrition, and daily routines contribute to overall wellbeing. My work takes a holistic and strength-based approach, supporting clients to build skills and resilience to navigate everyday challenges.

Experience

I have extensive experience achieving positive outcomes across a range of settings, including:

  • Educational settings – from preschool to Year 12
  • Non-government organisations
  • Private practice

I am committed to providing trauma-informed and culturally responsive care to a diverse range of clients, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those managing complex trauma and attachment-related difficulties. I also provide inclusive, affirming support for neurodivergent clients.
