DONNA STAMBULICH
“People have the extraordinary and innate ability to heal themselves coded within. The moment one commits themselves to be their own champion they take the first step to unlock their own unique potential”.
Donna Stambulich is Clinical Director and Founder of North Perth Psychology Centre. Donna has over 13 years clinical experience in the treatment of alcohol and other substance abuse and misuse disorders, co morbidity, trauma and general psychological disorders. Other areas of interest include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, attachment and the treatment of emotional distress resulting from grief.
Donna is also a published academic in the area of Second Families, Child Support and the Family Court System. Donna has recently completed her Master’s in Clinical Psychology, researching Vicarious Trauma amongst AOD clinicians.
Donna’s therapeutic approach is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere in which people can feel safe to explore the nature and meaning of their present difficulties, and so find effective ways to resolve them.
Donna utilises clinically proven and evidence-based therapies. Different treatment approaches are used to best suit the client and their goals. The type of treatment provided can range from brief, focused treatment for acute symptoms or problems, to more long-term therapy for entrenched personality, relationship or coping issues. Therapies include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Skills and Schema Therapy.

LORRAINE SHERIDAN
Dr Lorraine Sheridan is a Forensic Psychologist and Adjunct Associate Professor at Curtin University, bringing over 25 years of experience in treatment, assessment, and research settings.
Lorraine's expertise spans pre-sentencing psychological assessments, expert witness reports for the Family Court, threat assessment, therapy, and psychological evaluations across various contexts including the workplace and immigration tribunals. She is a published researcher, mainly in the areas of stalking and violence prevention, and regularly provides professional consultation to organisations and public figures worldwide.
Before moving to Australia from the UK, Lorraine assisted authorities in an “offender profiler” role. She has a particular passion for the cases that defy easy categorisation - the complex, the unusual, and the genuinely puzzling. After 25 years, it is the people and cases that challenge assumptions and demand creative, rigorous thinking that she finds most compelling. She brings that same curiosity and depth to every client she works with, however straightforward or complex their situation may appear.
Lorraine's approach to therapy is grounded in warmth, evidence, and respect for the individual. She recognises that the people who seek support often carry complex histories and unique circumstances, and she is committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space in which genuine change becomes possible.
Interests
Lorraine can assist with a broad range of presentations across adult, adolescent, and forensic contexts, including:
Anxiety and Depression
Forensic and Legal Assessments
