Tim Bonaldi

Tim is a registered Psychologist who has experience in working with people from all walks of life with a wide range of mental health issues. He takes a gentle, warm, and caring approach to help support clients through challenges that they may face in life. Tim believes people are not defined by the challenges they face, and therefore takes a holistic approach to client care. Tim is reflective and values working together with clients as a team. He works from a client-centered approach and provides a trauma-sensitive framework. He strongly values the therapeutic relationship and encourages collaboration and honesty throughout the therapeutic process. Tim specializes in helping people navigate life transitions and the complications that come with it. He can also help you explore your identity and life direction (personal growth). Tim has a special interest in helping people manage anxiety (general and social), criticism from self and others, people pleasing, perfectionism, and struggles with self-worth. Tim can also help you identify what you want in relationships with others and yourself. He enjoys working with people who want to explore why they are experiencing issues, and how they can live a fulfilled life. Tim enjoys working with people aged 18 years old and over, and ensures he is constantly learning and developing his skills through the latest research and training.

Tim has worked in trauma sensitive community health settings with people experiencing complex mental health conditions.
