About Dr. Pree

Hey, I’m Pree!

I am the psychologist behind She Speaks. I am fervently driven in wanting to enhance the lives of my clients, and women in general. In my career to date, no matter the psychology setting, I have noticed a recurring theme of women not feeling or being listened to, not having agency and autonomy in their own lives, and struggling against the societal pressures placed upon us. If you can relate, I am here to help you get your voice heard.

I am a feminist (i.e. believe in equal rights and opportunities for all people) on a mission to dismantle the patriarchy. I am particularly focused on doing this in areas that affect women strongly, including:

  • dismantling diet culture and the toxic beauty standards we are held to

  • deconstructing patriarchal motherhood, instead taking a matricentric feminist lens and seeking to unpack and rise against the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers

  • fighting medical misogyny

Connection is my jam. I believe the foundation of good therapy is a strong relationship.

This doesn’t mean we will just do “talk therapy”, or that I will always tell you what you want to hear. Therapy is about trust and honesty, and with a solid connection you can be supported to work through your challenges and find new ways to get your needs met. Additionally important values in therapy to me are: integrity, compassion and mutual respect, centering you as the expert in your own life, empowerment, advocacy and transparency.

My therapeutic modalities

I take an individualised approach to therapy, taking into consideration your preferences and hopes for what you want to achieve from our work together. Therapeutic modalities that I am trained in include:

  • Schema Therapy

  • Emotion Focused Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - Enhanced (for Eating Disorders) 

  • Mindful Self Compassion and Compassion Focused Therapy

I don’t operate on a one size fits all approach. I will draw on as many of these modalities that I believe will assist you. Therapy will also generally involve psychoeducation pertaining to your specific challenges, to help you better understand what might be holding you back, so that you can move forward.
