Maree Fewster

I’m a Provisional Psychologist with a Master of Professional Psychology from Victoria University, a Master of Social Science (Environment and Planning) from RMIT and a Bachelor of Arts and Science from Monash University. I work with children, teenagers and adults, and am dedicated to helping individuals of all ages, abilities and cultural backgrounds navigate life’s challenges and work towards their personal goals.

I aim to provide a warm, safe and respectful space where you can feel heard and talk openly about what is happening in your life. My approach to therapy is holistic, collaborative, trauma-informed and neuro affirming. I am mindful of how difficult experiences can affect you, and I respect different ways of thinking, learning and communicating.

I draw on approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy, adapting sessions to your needs. Together, we can explore your concerns, recognise your strengths and work towards goals that matter to you.

My experience spans private practice, community mental health and disability support. I have experience supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress and grief, as well as people navigating neurodivergence, learning difficulties and parenting challenges. I also have experience working with people affected by dementia, substance use and schizophrenia.

I also have a particular interest in music psychology, having completed my thesis in this area. I’m interested in the connection between music and emotions, and how music may be incorporated into psychological practice where appropriate.

I bring a wealth of life and work experience to my practice. Having travelled widely, I am passionate about understanding and celebrating different cultures and perspectives.
