About Candice Mayer

Candice has worked across private practice and school settings, supporting children, adolescents, and adults. Her experience within both private and public school environments has given her a grounded understanding of the pressures young people face — academically, socially, and emotionally.

Her work is shaped by a genuine curiosity about people and what may help them move forward. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the individual, drawing on evidence-based approaches that aim to fit the person rather than a fixed formula.

Candice holds a Bachelor of Psychological Science and a Graduate Diploma of Psychology Advanced from Monash University, and is registered with the Psychology Board of Australia. She has a special interest in adolescent and young adult mental health, and in supporting families navigating this stage of life.

Evidence-based

Grounded in current research and clinical best practice — always with a human touch.

Collaborative
