Clinical Psychology Registrar
Stephanie Römer is a Clinical Psychology Registrar and researcher completing her PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Wollongong, where her work explores the neurobiological and psychological evidence of food addiction.
Her academic journey includes a Master’s in Neuropsychology and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
Stephanie works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, burn-out, emotion regulation difficulties and interpersonal struggles. While her PhD research centres on addictive behaviours and eating disorders — areas she continues to support clinically — her practice extends to broader mental health needs. She has refined her skills across varied settings, from an Eating Disorders Service and The Forensic Hospital to private practice and online therapy platforms. Her therapeutic expertise spans multiple frameworks, reflecting her adaptability and commitment to personalised care, and offering a collaborative, non-judgemental space for growth.
Stephanie integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Enhanced (for eating disorders, CBT-E), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Maudsley Family Based Therapy (MFBT) and Motivational Interviewing.
As an Associate Research Fellow with Project Air Strategy, Stephanie contributes to developing interventions for youth with complex mental health, integrating her clinical expertise with research to create practical, evidence-based strategies for youth and families. Recognised globally, she serves as Student President of the International Society for the Study of Personality Disorders (ISSPD, 2024-2026).
Stephanie is open to referrals for primary and high school aged children and adolescents, as well as young adults. She provides therapy in English, German, and Dutch.
