Tessa Bellamy is a Clinical Psychologist who began her training with a Bachelor of Psychology with First Class Honours at the University of Tasmania, before going on to complete a Master of Clinical Psychology at the University of Southern Queensland. Her career has taken her through community mental health services, hospital-based teams, and private practice settings across Australia and the UK, where she has supported children, adolescents, adults, and families with a wide range of mental health needs.
In her clinical practice, Ms Bellamy brings a warm, compassionate, and collaborative approach. She draws on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and schema-informed approaches, helping clients understand and shift long-standing patterns rooted in early experience. She adapts her approach to suit the individual, with a particular interest in trauma, neurodiversity, and complex emotional difficulties.
All clinicians at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic are trained to conduct comprehensive assessments, considering you as a whole person rather than a specific issue. They tailor treatment and integrate multiple therapeutic perspectives to create a plan that is both evidence-based and uniquely suited to you.
Ms Bellamy works with individuals experiencing depressive and anxiety disorders, stress, trauma (including complex and developmental trauma), OCD, emotional dysregulation, attachment and interpersonal difficulties, adjustment difficulties, bereavement, low self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, self-harm, and suicidal ideation and behaviours. She also has specialist experience in neurodevelopmental conditions, including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).
Alongside her clinical work, Ms Bellamy has held roles at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne and in NHS leadership, and remains actively involved in clinical supervision and service development.
