About Georgie
A/Prof Georgie Paulik-White is a clinical psychologist, researcher, and trainer with over 20 years of experience working with complex mental health presentations. She is internationally recognised for her work in transdiagnostic voice hearing and psychosis, and has particular expertise in the role of trauma, dissociation, mental imagery, and meaning-making processes in psychological distress and recovery. Her work spans clinical practice, research, and professional training, with a strong focus on translating emerging evidence into practical approaches for clinicians working with complexity.
Georgie completed her PhD on voice hearing at the University of Western Australia in 2007 and has since published extensively, including a textbook and more than 60 peer-reviewed publications across the fields of psychosis, voice hearing, complex trauma, dissociation, mental imagery, and suicide prevention. Her research has contributed to the development and evaluation of innovative psychological interventions, particularly imagery-based approaches for distressing voices, visual hallucinations, trauma-related difficulties, and suicidal experiences. She has a particular interest in the clinical application of Imagery Rescripting and Schema Therapy across a range of complex presentations.
In 2016, Georgie co-founded Perth Voices Clinic, which has since become a recognised centre for the treatment of complex presentations and the training of mental health professionals. Through Over The Bridge, she provides workshops, supervision, consultation, and professional development opportunities for clinicians seeking practical, evidence-informed approaches to working with complexity.
Georgie maintains active collaborations with leading international researchers and clinicians, including Prof. Arnoud Arntz (Netherlands), Prof. Craig Steel (UK), A/Prof. Chris Taylor (UK), Prof. Peter McEvoy (Australia), and Prof. Chris Lee (Australia). Her training is grounded in both scientific evidence and real-world clinical practice, with a strong emphasis on translating emerging research into practical skills that clinicians can use immediately in their work.
