Dr Auretta Kummar is a Clinical Psychologist and founder of ASK Psychology Fremantle. She holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and has experience delivering evidence-based psychological services to adults, adolescents, and children.

Her area of expertise aligns with her doctoral research and clinical practice, focusing on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety-related disorders including social anxiety, separation anxiety, phobias, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Auretta also works with a range of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, and gender diversity (see full list below).

She is trained and skilled to deliver a range of evidence-based psychological treatments including compassion-focused approaches, mindfulness-based techniques, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, neuropsychotherapy (especially for fear-related disorders), acceptance and commitment therapy, gradual exposure therapy, exposure and relapse prevention, schema therapy and EMDR Therapy. Her approach is collaborative and tailored, working with each client’s strengths, needs, and treatment goals to support meaningful and sustainable change.

Auretta’s doctoral research investigated the impact of an eight-week compassion-focused, mindfulness-based exposure therapy program for individuals with posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSD) —an area she remains active in clinically and academically.

David is a registered Psychologist with multiple years of experience in treating children and adolescents aged 9 and above, as well as adults, couples, groups and families. 

David’s therapeutic approach is eclectic, which means he uses a wide variety of evidence-based interventions such as CBT, DBT, Trauma-informed Approach, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Schema Therapy. 

David generally likes to use a combination of cognitive (thoughts), emotional and behavioural interventions, focused according to the client’s needs, preferences, self-identified goals, and strengths.

David is aware that starting therapy can be a daunting process. He recognises there must be a balance between empowering the client and having a framework and direction to maximise the therapeutic potential of each session. To maintain this balance, he frequently ‘checks in’ throughout the course of the therapy to determine whether it is meeting his client’s expectations and needs. He places a high value on building and strengthening the therapeutic relationship through empathy and validation to promote feelings of safety, security and feeling heard and valued. David also likes to encourage and utilise a ‘strength-based’ approach.

A former engineer, David has a strength in delivering evidence based therapeutic methods combined with an empathic and person-centred approach which places the client’s needs at the front and centre. 

David is currently accepting new clients both in-person and via telehealth.
