Renée Ryan, Psychologist
Renée has more than 25 years experience consulting as a psychologist.
Before moving into her private practice, Renée worked in the Queensland public mental health system, in clinical and senior leadership positions (Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Princess Alexandra Hospital and Logan Hospitals) managing community mental health teams. She has worked with defence veterans in the PTSD and alcohol and drug programs at Toowong Private Hospital.
Renée applies a warm and empathic, yet practical approach, utilising evidence-based treatments tailored specifically to your situation. She is passionate in supporting people through their life adjustments, specifically menopause transition, relationship and career uncertainty, anxiety, depression, trauma and the impact of physical health issues, specifically breast cancer support.
Renée has her own experience with cancer and at 47 was diagnosed with breast cancer. Renée understands the positive impact of therapy in reducing distress and bringing awareness and acceptance to challenging life events, making them easier to manage and navigate. Renée works with individuals and family members, at all stages of their cancer experience.
You’re warmly invited into our discreet and calming consulting suite high within the treetops of Paddington. Step away from the challenges of life to engage in self-exploration, learn practical and useful strategies and make change happen where you want it.

Where does North Light Psychology come from?
Renée was inspired to name the practice North Light Psychology, in recognition of North Light, a small lighthouse located at the northern tip of Mulgumpin (Moreton Island), about 40km offshore from Brisbane that holds significant meaning for Renée.
For many years, this part of the island with its rugged and unspoilt beauty, has provided Renée with an opportunity to re-connect with nature, contemplate and reflect on her life journey.
