Barin Popal

I am a registered Psychologist who works with a welcoming, inclusive, and non judgemental approach. I believe that each individual holds the answers they seek within themselves, and my role is to guide and empower them in uncovering those solutions. My therapeutic style focuses on building clients’ mental “toolbox” through evidence-based practices, drawing primarily on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I have experience working across hospital, detention, school, and community sectors, supporting people through a wide range of challenges. I have a particular interest in drug and alcohol counselling and relapse prevention, anger management, depression, adjustment reactions, and transitional life challenges. I am passionate about helping clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to create lasting change in their lives.
