I am so glad that you are here!

Amie Neale

Director, Principal [Provisional] Psychologist 


This business is not currently active, but will be active once registration is gained. Thank you for your patience.




Hello, I am Amie.


First, thank you for your interest in my practice. I created The Psych Canvas as a safe and supportive space for healing—because I understand how deeply mental health challenges can affect your life. I also know that long-term emotional struggles can make it difficult to live with the ease and fulfillment we all deserve.


I genuinely appreciate you considering The Psych Canvas to support you on your mental health journey. I’m committed to working collaboratively with you, and I truly value feedback along the way. Please know it’s always okay to share your experience with me—your input helps shape a service that’s better tailored to your needs.


How I can help:

I support individuals through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My approach involves gaining a deep understanding of your experiences so we can work together to create meaningful change—or at the very least, make things feel more manageable.


I have particular experience working with:

    •   Depression
    •   Anxiety
    •   Grief and loss
    •   Burnout
    •   Relationship issues
    •   School-based concerns (including academic struggles and peer relationships)
    •   General support around improving emotional wellbeing and quality of life


Fees:

Standard sessions are priced at $200 each. A full breakdown of services and fees can be found on the Services page.


I’m mindful of the financial barriers therapy can present—especially for our most vulnerable communities—and I aim to make sessions as accessible as possible within my practice.


Rebates:

Rebates are not currently available, but I’m actively exploring options to offer this in the future. I appreciate your understanding and patience as I work on expanding accessibility.


My professional commitments outside of The Psych Canvas:

In addition to running The Psych Canvas, I work as a school counsellor, supporting both primary and high school students. Before this role, I spent several years as a high school teacher. With over 14 years in the school system, I’m highly experienced and confident in working with children and adolescents.


What I am currently reading:

I am currently reading Behave by Robert Sapolsky. This is a great book that breaks down human behaviour at our worst and best. It is taking me awhile to get through, due to study, but I am definitely persisting. 


A bit more about me:

When I’m not working or studying, you’ll likely find me rock climbing (indoors and out), traveling (Greece has been a favorite so far), or cooking. I actually completed my chef’s apprenticeship back in 2006—though these days, cooking is just something I enjoy doing for fun.
