Currently fully booked Hi, I’m Bianca. I’m a Clinical Psychologist with a special interest in trauma and nervous system regulation. Whether you're facing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties or childhood trauma, I aim to support you in finding clarity and resilience. I also aim to help you rediscover feeling safe in your body - something many of us lose after stress or trauma. In the therapy space, I ensure I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each client. I'm authentic, human and relatable. I take a non-judgmental stance, and guide clients toward empowerment, connection and integration.
I'm experienced in managing an array of mental health difficulties. Public health work taught me how to offer clients lasting relief within a short time frame. While my approach is holistic and trauma-focused, I'm trained in CBT, ACT, DBT, NT, time-limited psychodynamic psychotherapy & BWRT. I value holistic approaches and multidisciplinary care.
I know that reaching out when you’re feeling low, overwhelmed or stuck, can seem daunting but there is so much value in you having taken the first step to seeking help. You deserve a holding, healing space and someone to walk alongside you on your journey back to yourself. I’m here to offer you that. I look forward to hearing from you.
Take the first step to help. Bianca Barnard now

My inclusive, holistic approach is informed by a special interest in trauma and nervous system regulation and is grounded in evidence-based techniques. My special interest is trauma work but I am also skilled in assessing and working with neurodiverse clients (who often may have been misdiagnosed as presenting with another disorder).
