Dr Christina Faber
Peninsula Psychology was founded by Dr Christina Faber, registered Clinical Psychologist.
Christina is passionate about improving the mental health and well-being of others. She offers a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to support people through difficulties and promote healing and growth.

She believes that these practices can lead to greater self-awareness, increased emotional stability and less suffering. Christina has a personal daily practice and attends yearly silent meditation retreats. She has facilitated many mindfulness and compassion based groups and has written meditation scripts for apps such as Smiling Mind.
