Profil

Joanne Haldane is a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist and Psychology Board-Approved Supervisor with over a decade of specialist experience working with refugees and survivors of torture and organised violence. Her career spans some of the most demanding contexts in the field — including forensic mental health and maximum secure psychiatric settings, victim-focused psychological treatment, legal assessment and court reporting, the disability sector, and work with Indigenous children in out-of-home care. This breadth gives her an unmatched depth of clinical perspective. Joanne is a senior clinician at the Australian Neurofeedback Institute (ANFI) and STARTTS Neurofeedback Clinic in Sydney, where she specialises in complex PTSD, treatment-resistant trauma, and autonomic nervous system dysregulation.

Joanne expertly blends neuromodulation techniques — integrating infra-low frequencies and frequency band training in neurofeedback — alongside EMDR, Deep Brain Reorientating, and other nervous system regulation tools. She draws on an array of treatment modalities to repair and rewire the fear-driven brain, combining real-time brain regulation with deep trauma narrative work, attachment repair, and systemic healing.
