Toni Mansfield
Psychotherapist and Family Therapist
Toni is a psychotherapist who works with adults, adolescents, and families. She has extensive experience working with life transitions, relationships, childhood trauma, grief and loss, anxiety and depression. Toni has an integrative approach to psychotherapy, working from a place that welcomes all aspects of our experience, recognising how adaptive and resourceful each person is.
She believes a good therapeutic relationship is built on trust and collaboration, and works to deepen our attention to our internal experience and our relationships with others. In doing this, emotional and psychological difficulties that cause suffering can be better understood, and fresh experience, newfound perspectives, and lasting change can emerge.
Toni has worked in public and not-for-profit settings in the areas of mental health, family therapy, complex trauma, childhood development, childhood sexual abuse, transcultural psychiatry and experiences related to immigration and forced migration. She also facilitates reflective practice groups and individual supervision with nurses, allied health teams, and doctors.
Toni holds a Masters of Clinical Family Therapy, with additional training in developmental psychiatry, psychoanalytic theory, and Jungian analytical psychology.
