Newcastle Child & Adolescent Psychologist
Ms Julia Macris, MAPS
Julia Macris is a Psychologist in Newcastle whom is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). She holds a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) from the University of Newcastle and is currently completing a Master of Business Psychology.
Julia is experienced in supporting clients of varying ages with differing complexities. She has a particular interest in working with children, young people, and their families. Julia is passionate about assessment and believes they can better assist clients in understanding their neuropsychological profile as well as recognising their strengths and areas that need support.
Julia utilises a person-centred, strength-based approach drawing on elements from Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma-informed practice. Each session is individualised and tailored to meet the needs of the client. When applicable, Julia thoroughly enjoys using Play and Art therapy, providing a creative and fun environment to best support the child and their family.
Julia recognises the importance of rapport as well as the need for a collaborative approach, recognising clients are the experts in their own lives. She also utilises a neuro-affirming approach to all of her work, modelling a difference in the brain rather than an abnormality and framing challenges as differences rather than deficits.
