 The meaning behind Oak Haven

Oak Haven reflects the oak as a symbol of strength, stability, and growth, and a haven as a place of safety and refuge. Influenced by Jungian ideas of inner development, the name represents a supportive space for grounded growth and healing.

A Pathway to Healing

Care is tailored to individual needs, using evidence-based approaches to support challenges such as trauma, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and emotional wellbeing, while fostering meaningful change and a stronger sense of connection.

Oak Haven Psychology offers warm, trauma-informed therapy in Newcastle and telehealth nationwide, providing a safe and supportive space for healing, growth, and self-understanding.

Inclusive. Respectful. Affirming.

Oak Haven is a safe and welcoming place for all.

About Me

Liana Riddington

I am registered psychologist offering a calm, thoughtful, and compassionate approach to therapy. My work is grounded in creating a space where people feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported at their own pace.

​

A strong focus is placed on understanding each person’s unique story. Therapy is guided by curiosity, collaboration, and a belief in each person’s capacity for growth and change.

​

Approaches are evidence-based and tailored to individual needs, supporting greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of connection — both within oneself and with others.

How Can I Help?

Everyone deserves to feel heard and understood.
