Mimi Forrest

I am a psychologist who works with young children, older children, adolescents, and adults, with a focus on anxiety, emotion regulation, learning and school engagement, parent and family support, and body image and eating concerns. I am passionate about supporting children and families, particularly in private clinical practice, where I can see the direct impact of her work in helping clients achieve their goals. 

I have an interest in developmental psychology and emotional wellbeing has been a lifelong pursuit. I began my journey in allied health by running resilience-building programs for children in group therapy settings while completing her Bachelor of Psychology and Honours year. I find working with clients across the lifespan deeply rewarding, especially the opportunity to work closely with children and families and to see their growth and development firsthand. 

I completed my honours research project on evaluating alternative education programs designed to support student wellbeing, which has further influenced my passion for collaborating with schools to support the diverse needs of students in my clinical practice. Recently, Mimi has trained in CBT-E, a form of cognitive behaviour therapy specifically for eating disorders, and I continue to expand my knowledge and interest in feeding and eating concerns. 

Through my ongoing work, I remain dedicated to providing support for individuals and families to improve emotional wellbeing and achieve personal growth across various life stages.
