About Mary

A steady, caring presence — wherever you're starting from

Mary Silk is a registered psychologist committed to supporting people who are struggling with periods of mental instability, navigating challenging life events, or simply keen to build healthier lifestyle habits. She works with children, adolescents and adults, and believes everyone has the capacity to improve aspects of their life — therapy is about realising that potential, together.

Mary brings extensive experience across some of the most demanding areas of mental health care:

Acute inpatient psychiatric units
Sub-acute psychiatric rehabilitation
Disability services — behaviour support for community and group-home clients
Addiction support (drug & alcohol services)
Homelessness sector
Private practice

She has managed a broad range of presentations — from depression, anxiety and adjustment difficulties through to emotional dysregulation, personality disorders and severe mental illness including psychosis — and has a keen interest in complex trauma.

Everyone has the capacity to improve aspects of their life. Working together, we can realise those abilities — and that potential. — Mary Silk

A Small Gift

Try a one-minute reset

Box breathing is a simple technique used to settle the nervous system: in for four, hold for four, out for four, hold for four. Follow the circle — even one minute can soften a stressful moment.
