Sydney Psychotherapist - Colette Rayment PhD
As a registered psychotherapist with over two decades of clinical experience, I specialise in providing psychodynamic therapy to individuals and couples. My practice is grounded in rigorous academic training, including a PhD from the University of Sydney and postdoctoral studies in the History of Ideas, alongside extensive clinical supervision and personal analytic therapy. I offer both short-term and long-term therapy sessions conducted entirely online, focusing on helping clients navigate emotional pain, trauma, and relationship challenges.My approach integrates evidence-based models such as the Conversational Model, Object Relations, and Relational Psychotherapy, tailored to each client's unique needs. I also provide professional supervision for clinicians and mentorship for writers, particularly those working on academic or creative projects. With affiliations to leading professional bodies like ANZAP and PACFA, my practice combines academic rigor with compassionate, client-centered care to foster self-awareness, emotional regulation, and meaningful personal growth.
