Veterans Psychology

The mission of Veterans Psychology is to provide exceptional, evidence-based psychological services to military members and veterans.

Veterans Psychology connects the veteran community with mental health professionals who are veteran focused and veteran informed. Many of our clinicians are veterans themselves, so have first-hand understanding of the military experience. Veterans Psychology prioritises service delivery to Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) card holders, but we also welcome private self-referrals.

Calum Ramsay

Everyone struggles with something. We can’t control every thought, feeling, or body sensation we have, but we can find ways to create balance and choice in our lives. In sessions, you can expect to develop skills to help you understand yourself with compassion, while keeping “who you are” at the centre of the process.
I prioritize developing clarity, trust, and respect in our work, so that counselling can act as a stabilizing and supportive presence in your life. I work from an integrative approach, drawing from a selection of research-supported theories like ACT, EFIT, and narrative therapy. My work is also informed by the 12 years I worked in international and Olympic rugby, helping athletes make difficult decisions under pressure.

Narelle Hudson

As a counsellor, I believe people are ultimately the experts on their own lives. I see my role as one to walk alongside clients & support them by: hearing their story, offering suggestions or new information & validating their strengths & resilience. My aim is to help clients feel heard, understood, validated and supported to be the best version of themselves possible. I understand one counselling model does not fit all as everyone is unique. I am a person-centred therapist; although I often incorporate other modalities, depending on client needs, which may include CBT, SFT, ACT, MI or EFT. I predominantly work in the areas of: grief and loss, suicide and bereavement, relationships, mental health and addictions.
