About

Dr. Raileen Merlino

Helping and understanding people has always been a driving force in my life, which is why it has been a great honour to work as a psychologist since 2004. Taking a positive journey with someone, seeing them move from a negative state to a positive one is extremely rewarding.

I work on the premise that everyone has the right to feel fulfilled and happy. My clients’ goals become my goals, and I work toward these goals with compassion, respect, empathy and determination, using a range of techniques and therapies.

The therapies I use include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

In my private practice I specialise in:

I also have expertise in transgender issues and gender dysphoria/identity, and sexuality – which is an area not all psychologists specialise in.

In relation to forensic psychology, I’ve written over 100 reports. Health specialists also routinely refer their patients to me.
