Psychologist | Brisbane & Telehealth Australia-wide
A calm, reflective space grounded in curiosity, compassion and connection.
Michelle Johnston Psychology
Registered Psychologist and Director
Hi, I’m Michelle, a Registered Psychologist and Board Approved Supervisor based in Brisbane. I offer both in-person sessions in Hamilton, Brisbane and Telehealth appointments across Australia.
I have experience supporting individuals across the lifespan in a range of mental health settings including community mental health, youth justice systems and mental health services. I have worked with both young people and adults navigating complex mental health challenges, trauma and disrupted attachment.
Over time, my work has evolved beyond a focus on symptom management toward supporting a deeper understanding of each person’s internal world and lived experience.
How I Work With You
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck in patterns that no longer feel helpful.
My approach is grounded in attachment theory and trauma-informed with a focus on understanding the deeper emotional and relational patterns that shape your experience.
Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of what is happening beneath the surface and begin to relate to yourself with more clarity, compassion and understanding.
“I offer a calm space to explore life’s challenges, deepen self-understanding and move forward with greater clarity.”
Areas I Work With
I support adults experiencing:
Anxiety and mood concerns
Trauma and complex life experiences
Attachment and relationship difficulties
Grief and loss
Life transitions and adjustment
Perinatal support
Areas of Special Interest

Young Adults in Transition
Navigating uncertainty, relationships, career direction and self-discovery.
