About Me

My name is Dr Kylie Hutchings Mangion, I am passionate about helping adults navigate the complex world we live in. Enabling you to develop the skills to manage challenges that you may find yourself facing. Helping you work through difficult emotions and gain insight into your interpersonal relationships.

I understand the pressure ongoing study brings, the demands placed on graduates early in their careers and the range of challenges faced in balancing life, relationships, family during career progression.

I am focused on providing you the opportunity and safe space to explore any traumatic events, fears or unwanted behaviours that may be impacting the quality of your life. Offering services in Sydney and Port Macquarie.
