Dr Erin Seeto is a Counselling Psychologist, based in Sydney, and has worked in various settings including hospitals (UK NHS), community, local government, education, specialist services, and private practice.
Following her Masters in Social Work in Scotland, Erin worked in the field of learning disability and mental health for a number of years. Moving to London, Erin then pursued her Doctorate in Psychology which is where her interest in adjustment, identity, and post-traumatic growth developed while working with individuals who had experienced acquired brain injuries.
Erin’s additional interest in perinatal mental health led her to Gidget House shortly after settling in Sydney. Erin sees the importance of increasing awareness of both women’s health and perinatal mental health issues where small changes can have a substantial positive impact on clients and their families. As a Clinician, Erin is committed to working with diverse cultural populations and sensitively adapts her practice to the cultural needs of her clients.
After considerable perinatal training, Erin was motivated to continue this work on a permanent basis. Erin’s recent experience within this field has focused on adjustment, grief, loss, pregnancy, and post-traumatic growth. Utilising this experience, Erin draws on a systemic approach to understand the difficulties that clients face within the perinatal period.
Over the last 10 years, Erin has dedicated time to building her career through expanding her role to include developing and facilitating training of health care professionals to individuals, small and large groups. Erin is a Board-approved supervisor providing supervision to psychologists, accredited mental health social workers, and other professionals within the mental health field.
Additionally, Erin is on the board of the Australian Psychology Society NSW College of Counselling Psychology advocating for the needs of the membership specifically and the profession, more generally.
