Carlie Robertson PGdip MSc
Hi, I’m Carlie
I'm a Mental Health Occupational Therapist with 18 years of clinical experience and over 20 years working in the mental health space, walking alongside people through life’s highs and lows. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals from all walks of life as they navigate challenges, rediscover their strengths, and create meaningful, balanced lives.
I have a particular passion for supporting people who experience intense emotions. Over the years, I’ve seen and experienced firsthand how overwhelming it can be when emotions take over, and how transformative it is when people learn skills to navigate them with confidence and compassion.
As well as being an occuppational therapist, I hold additional certifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Somatic Therapy, and have spent the past 16 years as a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) practitioner and group facilitator. I’m deeply committed to holistic, trauma-informed care that honours the connection between mind, body, and environment.
I’ve always believed that true well-being is about more than just managing symptoms. It’s about nurturing the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. That’s why I’m passionate about blending evidence-based mental health support with holistic practices that honour each person’s unique story, values, and goals.
On a personal note, discovering in adulthood that I have ADHD gave me a whole new perspective on the work I do. It’s shaped the way I connect with others, making space for humour, honesty, and permission to be perfectly imperfect.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me on, in, or near the water. it’s my sanctuary and favourite place to reset. I’m endlessly curious about what helps people feel more at home in their own lives, and I feel so lucky to be part of that process for others.
