Founder.
Snr Clinical and Health Psychologist.
Author.
Dr Natasha Herron (formerly Dr Natasha Perry), is a Senior Clinical and Health Psychologist with a deep commitment to early intervention and transdiagnostic care. With 20 years of industry experience across public, private and not-for-profit sectors, Natasha has supported many children, young people, adults and families with the skills they need to make meaningful changes to their lives.
Natasha’s aim is to help children, young people, and parents to feel supported, and empowered—developing emotional resilience, stronger relationships, and practical skills to thrive both at home and in their wider communities. Her work is grounded not only in Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) framework and evidence, but also in lived experience of supporting neurodiversity, informing a compassionate, realistic, and strengths-based approach.
Natasha has had training targeting attachment, emotion regulation, social competence, family functioning, parenting skills and behaviour management and several other therapeutic modalities. In her work she supports wellbeing and mental health for children and young people while addressing symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, and behavioural challenges, adjustment and/or trauma. Natasha provides transdiagnostic care (tailored to each person’s unique needs) and prioritises the therapeutic relationship. She practices with warmth and holds a firm belief in every individual’s capacity for growth and change.
For the past decade, she was an Allied Health Clinical Leader in the public sector, supporting teams to deliver compassionate and evidence-based care where she has been recognised as an innovative leader, educator and clinical supervisor committed to best-practice multidisciplinary care.
In recognition of her leadership and innovation, Natasha was awarded a prestigious Churchill Fellowship. This international opportunity shaped her expertise in policy, service design, and sustainable health care improvements, and sparked her enduring passion for environmental psychology—the study of how the spaces we live, learn, and heal in can impact wellbeing.
Natasha is passionate about prevention and early intervention, and her clinical approach is grounded in trauma-informed, neuroaffirming and relational practice, drawing on theoretical models and her evidence-based interventions.
A little bit more...
Natasha has contributed to the field of psychology through scientific publications, textbook chapters, and presentations at national and international conferences. She also teaches and mentors the psychologists as a Clinical Supervisor, and is Clinical Lecturer at the University of Newcastle. Natasha is Aboriginal and proudly served as a Clinical Council member with Gayaa Dhuwi (Proud Spirit) Australia. Alongside this, Natasha is an Authorised Clinician for the NSW Children’s Court and works in public health supporting a team of Aboriginal clinicians to provide culturally appropriate care for clients seeking mental health treatment.
Natasha founded Your Space Collective in 2026. YSC is the coming together of years of clinical experience together with a newfound passion for supporting neurodiverse clients and integrated with the knowledge of thoughtfully designed environments fostering calm, connection, and resilience.
Outside of her professional work, she is deeply grounded in family life. She understands firsthand the joy and complexity of raising children and creating a home that supports wellbeing. Her lived experience as a mother shapes the warmth, practicality, and compassion she brings to her work with families.
She is a creative at heart, an amateur golfer and an unapologetic epicurean who delights in beautiful food shared with people she loves. Living and working on Awabakal Country, she is grateful to be surrounding by colourful birdlife, the coastline and local bushland.
