Juliana Gavranich
Clinical Psychologist
BSc (Hons), MPsych (Clin)

Juliana is a Clinical Psychologist and mother of three young children. She started her career ten years ago working in the disability sector with children and families, and individually with young adults. After becoming a parent, Juliana became immensely interested in issues relating to pregnancy and the postnatal period, and decided to focus on perinatal psychology as a dedicated area of practice. She works collaboratively with expecting mothers and parents during the postnatal period (up until three years after birth) to help them connect to their beliefs and values, reach their potential and enhance their emotional wellbeing during a time of big adjustments. Issues she assists with include depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, trauma, prenatal diagnoses, parent-child bonding, relationship difficulties, and parenting support.

JJuliana helps to create a kind, loving and nurturing space in the home environment, by offering a home visiting service for those who are unable to attend clinic appointments. Please contact Juliana to enquire about eligibility requirements for a home visit. She works in a warm and genuine way, using a relational, attachment-based framework and draws from a range of evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Rapid Eye-Movement Desensitisation (EMDR).  She is also a certified Circle of Security parenting educator.
