Dr. Michael Spurrier
Clinical Psychologist
PhD, DClinPsych, BASc (Hons)
I started Happy Place Psychology in 2015 with the aim of providing clients with a secure, affordable, accessible space to challenge and overcome personal barriers.
I have worked extensively with traumatic life experiences, couples & relationships, depression & anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and addictive disorders - both as a clinical psychologist and as a researcher. I specialize in helping clients address patterns that span a range of life areas - particularly problems related to self-esteem and connection to others.
I work with adolescents, adults and couples and am currently accepting new clients for both online and face-to-face appointments.
“Michael is warm, empathic and is genuinely interested in helping the people he works with. You're in good hands!”
— Dr Marina Ishak, Clinical Psychologist
“I’ve known Mike for almost 10 years. He’s kind, engaged, and generally the type of person almost anyone would find easy to talk to. The online video format works really well for individual and group therapy. It’s a great service and I highly recommend it!”
— Dr Mindy Willing, Clinical Psychologist
