Chloe Ripper, AHPRA

Chloe Ripper is a registered psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA), offering therapeutic support to adults across a range of emotional and life concerns. She draws on five years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, social anxiety, low motivation, interpersonal difficulties, self-esteem and confidence issues, grief, sleeping problems, anger and career-related challenges. Chloe has delivered both individual and group therapy in private, community, employee assistance and aged care settings, and she maintains a strength-based stance that aims to build self-awareness and more satisfying relationships with self and others.

Her practice integrates evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness, allowing sessions to be tailored to each person’s needs. Chloe is particularly attentive to caregiver stress and isolation or loneliness, and she works to create a warm, open and non-judgemental space where adults can explore what matters to them. She works part-time with a small caseload and is available for appointments in the mornings, with flexible weekday scheduling and regular weekend options for those who cannot attend during weekdays.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take action towards a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and struggles with motivation.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress and sleeping difficulties and often includes skills practice between sessions.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance and collaboration, giving people space to explore their experiences at their own pace. It can be particularly supportive for building self-esteem, addressing interpersonal distress and processing grief.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Chloe will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging adds flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving or other commitments. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, follow-up on strategies between appointments and maintain continuity of care with appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists without the need to travel.
