Julie Bryant

About Me

I’m Julie Bryant, a registered psychologist based in Sydney with experience supporting people across the perinatal period, eating disorder recovery, anxiety, mood concerns and life transitions. I’m passionate about helping people understand their emotional experiences, reconnect with their strengths and feel more grounded and supported in their daily lives.

My style is warm, practical and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard and respected, and where we work together on changes that feel meaningful and manageable. I have a particular interest in attachment-focused parenting and in supporting people through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. I have completed Perinatal Mental Health training through the Centre for Perinatal Excellence (COPE) and InsideOut Institute training for eating disorder treatment.

Presentations

I specialise in working with a wide range of individuals, including:

• Adults and Young Adults: Managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions
• Families: Parenting challenges, family dynamics, and conflict resolution
• LGBTQ+ Individuals: Identity exploration, coming out, and relationship concerns
• Individuals with Trauma: PTSD, grief, and trauma recovery
• People Facing Life Transitions: Life stage changes, career changes, relocation, or personal growth
• Women in the perinatal period: Pregnancy anxiety, birth trauma, adjustment to parenthood, and postpartum mood concerns

Whether you’re facing specific mental health concerns or simply looking for support in your personal or professional life, I’m here to help.

Therapies

I employ evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Some of the therapies I use include:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helping you move towards what matters most, even in the presence of difficult emotions.
