About

Psychology that takes its time.

The psychologist behind Yellow Stable: her background, her approach, and how therapy, assessment and supervision fit together for children, adolescents and adults.

Myra Jennings

Myra Jennings is the Founder and Director of Yellow Stable Psychology and a Clinical and Counselling Psychologist with more than 20 years of experience. She holds endorsements in both Clinical and Counselling Psychology, is a Board-approved supervisor, and is an ANZAED Credentialed Eating Disorder Clinician.

Myra works with people across the lifespan, including children, adolescents and adults. Her practice is trauma-informed and neuroaffirming, with particular interests in trauma, emotional regulation, Schema Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). She is particularly interested in understanding how early experiences, relationships and patterns of coping can shape emotional wellbeing and functioning across different stages of life.

Her style is warm, calm and collaborative. Myra places considerable importance on developing a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a space where people can safely explore their experiences, better understand themselves and the patterns contributing to current difficulties, and develop meaningful and sustainable change.

Her dual endorsement informs the way she works. From the counselling psychology tradition, she draws on the therapeutic relationship, individual strengths and an understanding of identity, relationships and meaning. From clinical psychology, she brings expertise in psychological assessment, formulation and evidence-based intervention for a broad range of psychological and developmental concerns.

Myra began her career in 2002 with the Victorian Department of Human Services and has since worked across government, private, educational and community settings, including Headspace, Monash University and with First Nations communities across Australia. She has also consulted within the corporate sector in areas including leadership, workplace culture and behavioural strategy. Since 2010, she has worked in private practice alongside senior clinical and leadership roles across government and not-for-profit services.

Myra is a Fellow of both the APS College of Counselling Psychologists and the APS College of Clinical Psychologists.

The practice

Therapy, assessment and supervision

Therapeutic support

Myra provides psychological therapy to children, adolescents and adults, tailoring her approach to the individual, their experiences and their developmental stage. Her work is trauma-informed and neuroaffirming, with particular interests in trauma, emotional regulation, Schema Therapy and EMDR.

She supports people experiencing:

Anxiety and mood concerns
Trauma and the impact of adverse experiences
Emotional and behavioural regulation
Obsessive–compulsive presentations
Perfectionism and self-esteem difficulties
Eating disorders and body image concerns
Parenting and family challenges
Sleep difficulties in children
Social and communication difficulties
School anxiety and attendance difficulties
Stress, adjustment, grief and loss
Neurodevelopmental conditions, including ADHD and Autism

Myra has a particular interest in supporting children and adolescents with emotional regulation, school engagement and school-related difficulties. Where appropriate, she works collaboratively with parents, schools and other professionals and provides school advocacy and support, helping young people’s emotional, developmental and learning needs to be better understood and supported within the school environment.

Myra draws on a broad range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), mindfulness-based approaches and Play Therapy.

Her work with trauma, emotional regulation, Schema Therapy and EMDR extends across the lifespan. When working with children and adolescents, interventions are adapted developmentally and may involve parents or caregivers where appropriate, recognising the important role of relationships, family systems and the young person’s broader environment in supporting change.

Therapy at Yellow Stable

Psychological assessment

Myra provides comprehensive psychological assessments for children, adolescents and adults from approximately age 6½. Her approach is collaborative and neuroaffirming: assessment looks beyond diagnosis to develop a meaningful understanding of each person’s strengths, challenges and individual support needs.

Assessment may explore:

Attention and executive functioning (ADHD)
Autism and neurodevelopmental profiles
Specific learning difficulties, including dyslexia
Intellectual and cognitive functioning

Where appropriate, assessment considers information across home, school, work and other settings to develop a comprehensive picture of the person’s functioning. Myra aims to translate assessment findings into clear, practical and individualised recommendations that can support learning, wellbeing and everyday functioning.
