Dr Nadia Boscaglia is a clinical psychologist with over 20 years’ experience as a practitioner. She has expertise and passion for working in a range of areas including: perimenopausal depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), sexual concerns (lowered libido, sexual shame, regaining pleasure after sexual trauma), eating disorders (especially bulimia and binge eating), obsessive–compulsive disorder, and all anxiety presentations.
Her approach integrates evidence-based therapies, especially EMDR and Schema Therapy. She is practical, direct, and warm, and believes that serious clinical work does not require solemnity at all times (she welcomes expletives, humour, and pun in the therapy room).
Nadia has published research on body image during pregnancy, and mood disorders in the context of gynaecological cancers, and provides training to other health professionals on recognising and responding to mental health concerns during perimenopause and menopause.
Nadia has completed an additional year of intensive training with the Institute of Somatic Sexology and is a member of the Somatic Sex Educators’ Association of Australasia. This training informs her work with people seeking to reconnect with desire, improve sexual function, and expand intimacy in ways that are grounded and evidence-informed.
Nadia holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, which is the highest level of clinical psychology training in Australia, and is registered with the Psychology Board of Australia with endorsement in Clinical Psychology. She is accredited with the EMDR Association of Australia as a practitioner of EMDR. Nadia is passionate about training the next generation of psychologists and is Board Approved Supervisor and has lectured to and supervised advanced Clinical Psychology trainees across multiple Australian universities.
