My name is Christelle Ardill and I am a Psychologist located in the idyllic seaside city of Wollongong. I've been practicing as a Psychologist for 10 years now (time flies when you're having fun) and in this time have committed to developing my professional persona in a way that let's my authentic self shine through. I pride myself on developing genuine therapeutic relationships with my clients, and take an honest and compassionate approach to therapy.
My primary clientele consists of those who have experienced significant trauma in their lives, and it is my role to help them integrate their life story and establish who they want to be. I also work a lot with neurodivergent populations, mood disorders, and members of the LGBTQI+ community.
I offer both telehealth and outdoor face-to-face sessions. My outdoor sessions can be walk and talk (you set the pace) or we can simply sit and talk in a non-clinical setting (possibly with coffee and croissants).

I have worked in a range of settings and have always been pulled towards working with people who are going through significant changes and life transitions. From marriage to divorce, life to death, new beginnings to endings, change often happens quickly but the process of transition takes time.
