Clinical Experience and Approaches

Throughout her career, and even before she was Psychologist, Yelka has worked in organisations supporting those with severe and complex mental health concerns. 

This includes having worked for NDIS-funded NGOs, NSW Health community mental health, emergency department and inpatient units, private hospital eating disorder wards, complex and neurodivergent-specific private practices, employee assistance programs and refugee trauma services. 

Yelka has training and experience using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Schema Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, Narrative Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

She also has a professional interest in supporting the next generation of psychologists as an academic mentor and sessional university teacher for undergraduate psychology classes. Yelka is registered as a Psychology-Board Approved Supervisor.

Personal Experience and Interests

Yelka is the eldest child of hard-working migrants who came to Australia for a better life from a developing nation. She identifies as female, introverted and has always been somewhat eccentric. Yelka is an ally and advocate for all diversity groups including but not limited to First Nations, CALD, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill and all body sized/shaped peoples. She has a variety of lived experiences with mental and chronic health conditions. 

To keep life interesting, Yelka loves to have a joke, art and craft, sing at karaoke (badly), play D&D and open-world video games, talk to her house-plants, and re-watch fantasy or sci-fi movies while crocheting.
