Dr Vanessa Spiller is a Brisbane-based Clinical Psychologist with nearly 30 years of clinical experience. She works therapeutically using a variety of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, and strengths-based approaches, but has received training in a wide variety of modalities, including EMDR.

 Dr Spiller works with adults and young people on issues such as anxiety, OCD, adjustment to change, trauma, and grief and loss. She also works with other members of the LGBTQIA+ community, including those who are gender diverse or questioning. 

Dr Spiller also works extensively with families and young people impacted by FASD, autism, ADHD and other complex neurodevelopmental conditions. She uses brain-based approaches to understanding each individual, developing supports and interventions best suited to their specific needs. 

Her use of Feedback Informed Treatment means that therapy is always modified and adapted for the individual, never a one-size-fits-all. Dr Spiller utilises evidence-based approaches combined with practice-based evidence to ensure that the work done together is meaningful, helpful and on track!

Dr Spiller has also worked in several Australian universities, providing lectures and professional development activities in areas such as professional practice, child and adolescent work, and adult psychopathology and ethics.

She is a STAP-approved supervisor and has provided professional supervision across her career.
