Working in the area of trauma, Psychologist Shannon Barker has seen many people who have faced extremely difficult situations with incredible courage and resilience. It’s this ability to overcome and thrive that’s driven Shannon’s passion for mental health. Shannon confesses that these people who she’s had the privilege of working with throughout her extensive career are an inspiration and have given her hope for our future.

When Shannon’s not supporting her clients in a psychology setting, you’ll see her out on the jogging track or immersed in her kitchen, baking delicious treats for her family – both hobbies complimenting each other well!

With a Bachelor of Behavioural Science with Honours from La Trobe University as well as extensive training including EMDR, Schema and CB Therapy, Shannon is well-equipped to treat a variety of clients who are motivated to improve their wellbeing. 

Shannon consults out of our Geelong West and Ocean Grove clinics.
