Our Clinicians

Psychologist bio photo

Andy Utley

Holding dual endorsements as a Clinical psychologist and Educational - Developmental psychologist, I bring experience and training supporting clients with the complexities of mental health conditions to those with neurodevelopmental disorders and educational challenges. I have a passion to work with adolescents through to older adults. My area of interests include trauma, through which I have completed advanced EMDR training, and neurodiversity, in particular ADHD. I also enjoy supporting clients who are autistic, experience anxiety, depression and also have an understanding and expertise in Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness Disorder (PPPD).

Drawing on a background from my first career as an Occupational Therapist, I bring a holistic approach to my support of clients on their journey. Alongside using EMDR, I also combine CBT, ACT, DBT and Schema therapy tools to assist people. I also provide cognitive, educational, and neurodiverse assessments for clients 8 years and older, and have close partnerships with psychiatrists who can assist adults if required.

Outside of work, my interests are times with family and friends, especially if there is food involved and would love to have more time for adventuresome activities I’ve previously enjoyed such as snowboarding and trail running. One of my favourite memories is bungee jumping in New Zealand as a young adult! I would love to try sky diving too!

I consider it an honour to work along people to gain mastery over their challenges in life, and for some to achieve complete symptom resolution. I look forward to working with you.

Speech pathologist

Kellie Utley

I am a certified practicing Speech Pathologist at Utley Allied Health. With a Master of Speech Pathology and a Bachelor of Social Science I bring a diverse educational background to my work. While working in the welfare and community health sector, I witnessed the challenges many young people faced as a result of communication difficulties, leading me to pursue a career in speech pathology.

I have a keen interest in understanding evidence-based ways to support individuals with their communication and swallowing needs so they can fully participate in their chosen social and academic settings. 

I have a wide range of experience within the speech pathology field working with both children and adults. This has included the provision of assessment and interventions for language skills, speech sound assessment and therapy, stuttering therapy for adults and children, voice therapy, videofluroscopy, and swallowing assessment and interventions.

When not working, I love spending time with my family, hosting friends over for meals, and taking on new challenges.
