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.
