Meet Kara

Welcome. I’m Kara Thomson, a Clinical Psychologist with over two decades of experience supporting individuals and communities through evidence-based psychological care. My practice is grounded in compassion, integrity, and a deep respect for the complexity of human experience.

I hold an endorsement in Clinical Psychology and am an AHPRA Board-approved supervisor, committed to nurturing the next generation of psychologists. My clinical work focuses on helping people navigate challenges such as trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

Alongside my clinical work, I bring extensive expertise in forensic psychology, having worked across correctional and legal systems for many years. I specialise in risk assessment, intervention for complex presentations—including violent extremism, sexual and violent offending and cognitive impairment—and the development of therapeutic programs within forensic settings. My approach is both rigorous and humane, balancing psychological insight with ethical responsibility.
