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.
