Psychology for when work is what hurt you.
BioPsyche specialises in occupational psychological harm — burnout, moral injury, workplace trauma, and the slow wear of chronic work stress. Whether or not you have a claim, what you’re carrying is real, it has a cause, and it can be worked with.
Is this you?
You were good at your job. You may still be. But somewhere along the way, work stopped being something you do and became something that is happening to you.
What is occupational psychological harm?
Occupational psychological harm is harm to your psychological health caused or worsened by work — by the load, by how the work is organised, by what you witnessed, or by how you were treated. It includes burnout, moral injury, workplace trauma, and chronic occupational stress, and it is now formally recognised in Australian work health and safety law.
You don’t need a diagnosis, a claim, or a crisis for it to count — or to get help with it.
Who I work with
Teachers. Nurses and midwives. Doctors and allied health professionals. Psychologists, counsellors and support workers. Disability and community workers. Public servants. Emergency services personnel. Managers carrying more than their role. And anyone whose work has cost them more than it should.
Why BioPsyche
This is the work, not a sideline
Occupational psychological harm is the focus of my clinical practice, my supervision work, the education program I’m building, and the book I’m writing. You won’t need to explain why work can injure a person. I already know.
I know the systems you’re inside
Twenty-five years across workplace rehabilitation, psychological injury, employee assistance programs and private practice means I understand WorkCover, return-to-work pressure and HR processes — and what they do to people.
Neuro-informed, in practice
With a background in biomedical science as well as psychology, I work with your nervous system rather than against it. Safety before change. Regulation before insight. Compassion before correction.
“People are not broken. Their nervous systems are doing exactly what they were shaped to do.”

About Suzanne
I’m a registered psychologist with over 25 years’ experience, a background in biomedical science, and a practice built around one conviction: that work-related psychological harm is real, common, and treatable.
I’m currently writing a book on burnout, moral injury and the systemic causes of practitioner distress, and developing Still Cracked, an education and prevention program for the professions that carry the most.
