Welcome to Caitlin Wright Psychology - A Clinical Psychology Practice That Feels Human.

Caitlin Wright Psychology is a practice that blends psychological science with genuine human connection — honouring both the complexity of the brain and the depth of the heart and soul.

We welcome individuals and groups into a space thoughtfully designed to feel calm and non-clinical. You’ll be greeted with a choice of herbal or black teas, and, most importantly, no bright lights or sterile white walls.

Our approach moves away from asking “what’s wrong with you?” and instead leans into a more curious and compassionate question: “what is going on with you?”

We Look Forward To Meeting You.

You don’t need to wait until things feel overwhelming. Therapy can help with challenges such as:

  • The impacts of trauma—past or recent

  • Anxiety—excessive worry and unsettled body

  • Depression and low mood

  • Burnout

  • Perfectionism and people-pleasing

  • Self-doubt and low self-worth

  • Stress related to work, study, or life transitions

  • Difficulty setting boundaries

  • Emotional regulation and sensitivity

  • Inner criticism and shame

  • Feeling “stuck” or disconnected

  • Navigating relationships and communication challenges

  • Identity exploration and personal growth

Ways to Work Together

  • We provide 50-minute individual sessions for adolescents and adults, using evidence-based therapeutic approaches.

  • We offer group therapy sessions, bringing individuals together in a supportive setting to engage in talk-based therapeutic approaches.

  • You may choose to attend your therapy session via Telehealth rather than coming to the practice in person.

  • Upon request, workshops can be created and run at your work-place.

  • If you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle accident, you may be eligible to access psychological support through your CTP insurance. Therapy can help with difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, trauma symptoms, adjustment to injury, and navigating changes in daily life after an accident.

    We work with your insurer to provide evidence-based therapy and progress reports as required, so you can focus on your recovery.

Modalities Used

  • CBT is an evidence-based therapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, which in turn, changes the way that we feel. It is the gold-standard for the treatment of anxiety (social anxiety, phobias, generalised anxiety) and depression.

  • Polyvagal therapy helps you understand how your nervous system responds to different situations—such as through fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. By learning to notice and gently shift these responses, you can begin to regulate your emotions more effectively and feel more settled in your body.

  • The tri-phased approach is a structured way of working with complex trauma that helps people feel safe, process what’s happened, and move forward in their lives. It usually begins with learning tools to manage emotions and feel more stable, then gently explores and processes traumatic memories, and finally supports reconnecting with everyday life, relationships, and a sense of identity. This paced approach ensures that trauma is not just talked about, but healed in a way that feels safe and empowering.

  • DBT is a skills-based therapy that helps people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and build a more balanced life. It teaches practical tools like mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. DBT is especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by their emotions or who struggle with patterns of impulsive or self-destructive behaviour. It is also effective for self-harm behaviours.

  • EMDR is a structured therapy that helps reduce the distress linked to difficult or traumatic memories. It gently uses bilateral stimulation — such as eye movements, sounds, or tapping — to support the brain’s natural healing process.

Let’s Connect

The Discovery Call is a 15-minute online call where you can talk about what’s been going on and what kind of support you’re looking for. It’s a calm, welcoming space, no pressure, no expectations.

You’ll be invited to share what feels important right now, ask any questions you might have, and explore whether starting therapy feels like the right next step for you. If you're ready, we can book your first session during the call. If not, that’s okay too.

This call is about you: your story, your needs, and your pace.
