Memory Sendah — Psychologist

Not taking new clients

English

Hi, I’m Memory

My work interests and competences straddle the fields of clinical, forensic, health, counselling, and community psychology. Work abroad with academic and research institutions, governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental organisations immersed me in applications of psychology to public health, mental health and well-being, and behaviour change and therapy. In Australia since 2007, I have been privileged to provide individual and group therapy services to clients from diverse demographic and cultural backgrounds. I enjoy working out solutions to challenging problems, and engaging clients in developing sustainable coping effectiveness.
