Ruth Rudge
Clinical Psychologist
About
I have been working as a Clinical Psychologist since 1995. I have Sri Lankan/Australian heritage. I have experience working with a wide range of psychological concerns. I have specialised in working with Aboriginal clients and families and have strong connections with my own Aboriginal family. I work with a wide range of therapy models. I aim to be easy to communicate with, meet the client where they are within themselves, to create a safe and trauma informed care space for the clients and to walk alongside them on a journey towards positive change and understanding in their lives.
