Mia Johannsen is a registered psychologist who specialises in eating disorders, body image and relationship difficulties. 

MIA’S APPROACH

Mia is a warm and nurturing psychologist who takes a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults. Mia has a wonderful ability to tap into her client’s inner strength and resources and assist them in building self-esteem, developing insight into their own patterns of behaviour and setting healthy boundaries in relationships with others.

Mia’s clinical practice is grounded in evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). Mia is also formally trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Enhanced (CBT-E) for treatment of eating disorders. Mia’s key research in her postgraduate degree focused on the influence of early attachment on trust and relationship satisfaction later on in life.

Mia's clients have described her as friendly and easy to talk to. Outside of work, Mia enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading a good book and walking her dog Freddie!
