Michelle LaPuma

I’m an experienced Clinical Psychologist and have been on the J&R team since 2012. I’m dedicated to providing high quality individualised treatment to my clients.

I specialise in treating child and adolescent issues, insomnia, anxiety, eating disorders, binge eating, and obesity. I have worked in the United Kingdom, Sydney and Perth across adult mental health and child and adolescent services. I also have a keen interest in research, and have presented at a number of national conferences, and published papers and book chapters in the field of obesity and eating disorders.

My training is in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and I have undertaken specialist training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Circle of Security and Family Therapy. My qualifications include a Masters in Clinical Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Psychology from the University of Western Australia. I am fully registered with the Psychology Board of Australia.
