Brodi Killen

Brodi has worked in the mental health field for over 7 years and predominantly works with children and their support networks offering individual, group and parenting sessions. She is passionate about supporting individuals and their support systems to understand how they experience the world and how they, and those around them can make adjustments and advocate to make their world ‘easier’. Brodi adopts a systems/family approach, placing equal importance on working with a child’s family and school to help children achieve success in their everyday life.

Individual Support 

Brodi supports clients using a person-centred approach tailoring intervention through evidence-based practices including cognitive behaviour therapy, interpersonal therapy, schema therapy, play therapy and mindfulness.  She supports individuals with a wide range of presentations including, but not limited to: 

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Low self-esteem/confidence

• Behavioural concerns

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

• Autism,

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

• Intellectual Impairment

Brodi is assisted by her puppy, and maybe one day, animal assistant therapy dog, Obi! Obi loves his toys and treats, but especially loves coming into the clinic and helping her clients feel more comfortable in sessions. He also loves his safe space at home though, so we can’t guarantee he will be on duty when in clinic. We appreciate your patience as he cannot meet every person who comes in.
