Chloe Ripper , AHPRA

Chloe Ripper is a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), bringing five years of clinical experience supporting adults with a wide range of concerns. She has worked across private, community, employee assistance and aged care settings, offering both individual and group therapy to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, career challenges, caregiver stress and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Her practice emphasizes a warm, open and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and build greater self-awareness. She draws on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and also integrates client-centered techniques and motivational interviewing to tailor support to each person’s needs. Chloe takes a strength-based stance, helping clients identify and use their own resources to improve relationships with themselves and others.

Chloe works part-time with a small caseload and is available for appointments in the mornings, with flexibility around which days she sees clients. She also aims to offer weekend appointments for people who cannot attend on weekdays. She welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers compassionate support for those ready to engage in that work.

Approaches that guide online therapy and care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed steps toward a meaningful life. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and issues involving avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress by changing how people think about and respond to challenges.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client to find their own solutions, which can be especially useful for building self-esteem, addressing interpersonal concerns and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chloe works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so care remains responsive and personally relevant.

Online therapy with Chloe can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without needing to travel, and allow therapists and clients to work together in ways that suit each person’s life.
