Dr Gina Lattas is a Forensic Psychologist and Psychologist based in Gosford, NSW. She works from Suite 9, Level 3, 1-5 Baker Street, Gosford NSW 2250. Appointments are focused on helping people work through tough times, and on getting clear, practical support that can be used in day to day life.
In many cases, Dr Lattas supports individuals who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, or feeling overwhelmed. She also looks at how thoughts, emotions, and daily habits can affect how someone copes. When things feel out of control, it can be hard to know where to start. Sessions are set up to slow things down, sort out what’s going on, and build a plan that feels doable.
Dr Lattas offers individual counselling sessions and uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques. CBT can be useful when someone wants to understand patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and learn new ways to handle pressure. Stress management is another key part of the work, including practical skills for calming the mind and settling the body when life gets intense.
She also provides psychological assessments. These can be important when a person needs better clarity about what’s happening, or when information is needed for formal matters. With forensic psychology, the work can involve careful, structured evaluation, done with respect for the person’s situation and wellbeing.
Dr Lattas’ approach is grounded in professional training and ongoing learning, and she aims to keep the process clear and straightforward. Even when support is for more complex situations, sessions are still about listening, making sense of the problem, and taking small steps forward. Over time, many people find that having a plan and the right tools can make a big difference.
