Johanna "Joh" Knyn
General Psychologist
MPsychProf; BPsychSc

Personal Profile

Joh is a generally registered psychologist with experience supporting adults across a broad range of mental health concerns, with particular expertise in complex and developmental trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, and dissociative coping responses. Since 2016, she has worked with individuals seeking long-term, relationally focused therapy to build safety, stability, and meaningful change.

​

Joh works with presentations including anxiety and depression, trauma and complex PTSD, stress and burnout, neurodivergence (including Autism and ADHD), identity and self-worth concerns, life transitions, and interpersonal or relational difficulties. She has a particular interest in supporting individuals impacted by developmental and relational trauma, as well as those who experience dissociation or longstanding trauma-related coping patterns.

​

Her therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in a phase-oriented understanding of recovery. Her therapeutic approach focuses on strengthening emotional regulation and distress tolerance, increasing capacity to remain present during periods of heightened affect, deepening self-understanding, and supporting clients to move toward lives that feel more aligned, connected, and sustainable.

​

Joh draws on a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed frameworks and has undertaken specialised training in trauma-informed and relational practice. Her advanced clinical training includes:

​

  • Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies (CPAT – Therapist)

  • EMDR Level 1

  • Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) – Foundations

  • Blue Knot Foundation Three-Phased Approach to Trauma Treatment

  • Gottman Method – Level 1

  • Board-Approved Supervisor Training

  • Selected professional development through the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD)

 

In addition to clinical practice, Joh contributes to trauma-informed practice through supervision, training, and the development of clinical resources. She is a Board-Approved Supervisor and is committed to supporting reflective, ethical, and sustainable practice across the profession.

​

Joh values continuity of care and works collaboratively with clients who are seeking depth-oriented, longer-term therapy within a safe and compassionate therapeutic relationship.
