Natasha Bogdanoski (she/her)

Natasha Bogdanoski is a Provisional Psychologist with a strong passion for working with children, adolescents, and emerging adults. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Psychological Science, a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours), and a Master of Professional Psychology.

 

Natasha has dedicated much of her life to working with children and young people, bringing a depth of understanding shaped by both professional experience and genuine care. Prior to her psychology training, Natasha worked as an educator in before- and after-school
care and as a karate instructor for five years (2015–2020), roles that strengthened her ability to engage, support, and connect with children across developmental stages.

 

As the eldest of three siblings, she brings a naturally nurturing, patient, and compassionate approach to her work. Natasha has worked in Ballarat, a regional community where access to psychological services
can be limited. In her role as a provisional psychologist, she supported children, adolescents, and emerging adults presenting with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, often within the context of trauma and neglect.
 

Her special interests include supporting individuals to manage interpersonal relationships and navigate complex family dynamics. She is also passionate about working with clients experiencing anxiety using evidence-based approaches tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals. Natasha is trained in the administration and interpretation of psychometric assessments and uses this information to inform comprehensive, individualized
treatment planning.
 

She is committed to evidence-based practice and integrates principles from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and attachment- informed approaches. Natasha places a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, believing that safety, trust, and connection are essential for meaningful change.

 

Natasha is eager to continue learning alongside play therapists, art therapists, and music therapists to build on the collaborative work already supporting young people and their families.
