About

Renée Ryan, Psychologist

Renée has more than 25 years’ experience consulting as a psychologist and has worked across the Queensland public mental health system and private mental health hospitals.

She applies a warm and empathic, yet practical approach, utilising evidence-based therapy tailored specifically to your situation.

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.

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.
