Dr Ingrid Cranston is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Fitzroy, VIC. You can find the practice at 1/35 Rose Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065. She offers therapy for individuals, couples, and families, so people can get support in the way that fits their situation.
In many cases, Dr Cranston helps with anxiety and the thoughts and feelings that come with it. She also runs individual therapy sessions and uses a practical, skills-based approach, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). At times, that means working through worry, stress, and patterns that can keep things feeling stuck.
Couples therapy is another big part of her work. This can be useful when communication has turned hard, when conflict keeps repeating, or when both people are trying to understand what is getting in the way. Sessions are usually focused on ways to slow things down, talk more clearly, and build healthier routines together.
Dr Cranston also looks after families. When family life gets tense, it can affect school, sleep, and daily mood. Therapy can help bring more calm and structure back, and it can give parents and carers tools for handling tough moments.
CBT and anxiety management counselling are at the centre of how she works. That usually involves learning simple strategies, spotting triggers, and trying small changes that can make a real difference. People often find it helpful that the sessions are grounded and focused on what can be done between appointments, not just talking about what has happened.
Over time, her experience has been shaped by real-world challenges people bring to therapy. Some clients are dealing with ongoing anxiety, others are navigating relationship strain, and some are trying to support family members through change. The plan is made around each person’s needs, pace, and comfort level.
Dr Cranston’s training sits in clinical psychology and psychology, which supports her work across individual, couple, and family sessions. If you’re looking for a calm, practical approach to therapy in Fitzroy, she can help you find a starting point and work from there.
