About Me
Rose Martinovic (she/her)
BPsychSc(Hons), MPsych(Clin)
I am a clinical psychologist who provides therapy to adults. In therapy sessions I take a calm and gentle approach to create an environment where clients feel comfortable expressing and exploring their concerns. Recognising that each person’s journey is unique and multifaceted, I approach therapy with a genuine curiosity and openness to understanding the whole person, not just their presenting issues.
Philosophy
In our sessions, I encourage clients to share not only their struggles but also their triumphs, joys, and the everyday moments that shape their lives. Beginning therapy takes courage, and I actively implement regular check-ins to ensure that clients feel consistently heard and supported.
I approach therapy with the belief that clients are the experts of their own lives, and I am open to adapting the therapeutic approach in response to the evolving needs and goals of each client. In essence, I aim to create a therapeutic journey that honours the uniqueness and diversity of each client’s lived experience.

Therapy as a Partnership
I view therapy as a partnership, where open communication and mutual respect lay the foundation for meaningful change. I aim to create a therapeutic space that is inclusive and affirming of diversity. I continuously educate myself on cultural competence, sensitivity, and the intersectionality of identities to ensure that individuals from all backgrounds feel acknowledged and understood.
By integrating a culturally responsive lens, I aim to tailor therapy to the unique context of each client’s life, promoting a sense of belonging and safety.
