Clinical Psychologist in Darwin

Evidence-based counselling in Darwin for individuals and couples, plus Autism and ADHD assessments.

Kerri Thomas, clinical psychologist at Breakthrough Psychology

Meet Kerri

I have a longstanding connection to Darwin and the Top End, and I’m an experienced clinical psychologist providing counselling and relationship therapy to support meaningful change and healthier relationships. I’ve been in private practice since 2010 and hold a Master of Clinical Psychology and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

I run a week-long clinic in Darwin each month and offer telehealth appointments across Australia. My work includes counselling, relationship therapy, and comprehensive Autism and ADHD assessments.

As the Northern Territory’s only Certified Gottman Therapist, I support couples to strengthen connection, improve communication, and build relationships that are sustainable over time. It’s been a privilege to help many couples deepen intimacy and develop healthier, more constructive ways of managing conflict.

I use an evidence-based, solution-focused approach, with a particular focus on relationship counselling, Autism and ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

My goal is to support you to navigate challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence.
