Skye Dong

Skye Dong holds a dual PhD and Doctorate of Clinical Psychology, and a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours I) from the University of Sydney. She has over a decade of clinical and research experience in hospital, private practice, and not-for-profit settings. She believes that successful therapy is both an art and a science, and aims to provide a collaborative experience built on a trusting therapeutic relationship, empathy, and understanding. She pursues this goal through providing direct clinical care (individual and group therapy), ongoing academic research, program development, and clinical supervision of trainees.

She has a strong interest in relational and psychodynamic psychotherapies. Along with more common issues of anxiety and mood, her expertise is in working with those going through major life transitions. This includes adjustment to loss, illness, chronic health conditions (particularly chronic pain, cancer, spinal cord injury, and life limiting illnesses), complex trauma (C-PTSD), parenting, perinatal concerns, and workplace burnout/ compassion fatigue. She recently co-authored ‘The Cancer Pain Book’ on managing cancer pain, developed an accompanying app, and continues to engage in active research particularly in the areas of meaning-making after loss. She is a Circle of Security Parenting Program trained facilitator and has a strong interest in group psychotherapy. See www.skyedong.com for more information.
