Kirrilee Bevan

Kirrilee brings over a decade of experience to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe, respected and genuinely supported. With a warm, thoughtful presence and strong emphasis on building trust, she helps you explore your experiences to be explored with care. Her practice is grounded in evidence-based, attachment and trauma-informed approaches, with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) forming a central part of her therapeutic framework. 

 

Kirrilee recognises that emotional and relational difficulties often develop in the context of lived experience, attachment and wider social environments. In therapy, she helps you make sense of your emotional responses, patterns of relating and the way your past experiences shape your current wellbeing. She works collaboratively and flexibly, tailoring her approach to your needs. Her integrative style lets her respond thoughtfully to complexity while supporting meaningful, lasting change.

​

​Kirrilee works with individuals with a wide range of concerns, including PTSD, attachment/developmental trauma, grief and loss, relational issues, mood and anxiety difficulties and parent–infant attachment. Alongside her therapeutic work she is also a Teaching Associate at Southern Cross University. 

 

Approach and areas of interest: Kirrilee is a trained EMDR therapist and integrates EMDR with trauma-focused therapy, Schema Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness- and somatic-informed approaches. Her work is underpinned by core social work values of dignity, empathy and respect, and she is committed to ongoing professional development to continually strengthen her therapeutic practice.
