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. Christina's therapeutic approach draws upon a range of evidence‑based modalities, with her work mainly informed by EMDR therapy, parts work, mindfulness, and self‑compassion. She applies these modalities within a trauma‑informed framework, supporting clients to develop emotional regulation, present‑moment awareness, and internal stability. Christina maintains a daily mindfulness practice, has extensive experience facilitating mindfulness and compassion‑based groups, and has developed meditation scripts for digital platforms.
