ROSIE ADAM
Registered Psychologist
PSY0002448636
Rosie is a Registered Psychologist (PSY0002448636) and the psychologist behind Bellingen Psychology, nestled on beautiful Gumbaynggirr country,
Rosie provides psychological therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, trauma, emotional overwhelm, life transitions and difficulties with emotional regulation. Her work also incorporates a neuroaffirming approach when supporting adults exploring or navigating neurodivergence. Her professional background spans community mental health, youth services, residential rehabilitation, schools, and private practice across the Mid North Coast.
This breadth of experience has shaped a practice that is both clinically grounded and deeply attuned to the realities of modern life.
Rosie’s approach
Rosie takes a collaborative, trauma-informed and person-centred approach to psychological therapy. Her therapeutic work draws from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)-informed strategies, attachment-informed approaches, emotional regulation strategies and EMDR.
Rosie’s approach is tailored to the individual rather than relying on a single therapeutic model.
Clients often describe her style as calm, direct, and compassionate. She aims to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to grow, and challenged enough to move forward.
Who Rosie works with
Bellingen Psychology is focused on supporting adults who are seeking thoughtful, collaborative psychological support.
Clients may seek support for:
Anxiety and persistent worry
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Chronic stress
Trauma-related difficulties
Emotional overwhelm and regulation difficulties
Life transitions and adjustment
Relationship and attachment patterns
Neurodivergence and questions around ADHD or autism
Difficulties associated with high levels of responsibility, performance or ongoing stress
Outside of the therapy room, she enjoys spending time outdoors, gardening, exploring local markets, travelling, and finding the small moments that bring connection and joy. She loves learning, creativity, and the wonderfully unexpected things in life - including discovering music that blends unlikely worlds (yes, techno bagpipes are a favourite!). Rosie values a slower pace, time in nature, and creating meaningful experiences with family and community.

Telehealth psychology across NSW
Bellingen Psychology currently provides appointments via secure telehealth across NSW.
Telehealth can provide greater flexibility and privacy for people who live regionally, have demanding schedules or prefer to access psychological support from their own environment.
Professional work
In addition to her own practice, Rosie also provides psychological services as a contracted psychologist through Reflective Psychology.
Bellingen Psychology and Reflective Psychology are separate practice arrangements. Information about appointments, fees, funding and service availability may therefore differ depending on which practice the client is accessing.
