Dr Felicity Chandler is a Clinical Psychologist and Board Approved Supervisor (PsychBA) based in Sydney.  Felicity is passionate about mentorship and education, and provides supervision, clinical support and professional development to Gidget Foundation Australia clinicians working with families in the perinatal period.

Felicity has extensive experience in perinatal mental health and child development.  She has a comprehensive understanding of developmental psychology and has a particular interest in the attachment relationship between child and caregiver. Her honours research explored the relationship between chronic maternal depression and social-emotional outcomes during middle childhood; her doctoral research focused on the internal working models of caregiver attachment in children on the autism spectrum.

Felicity has worked with several mission-driven organisations and multidisciplinary teams across the public, not-for-profit and private sectors, and has been a contracted Gidget Foundation Australia clinician over a number of years.  She is dedicated to advocating for women and families who too frequently face the challenges of the perinatal period without feeling held, heard, safe or supported.
