Adela Kiveric is an AHPRA Registered Psychologist, Board-Approved Supervisor, and Advanced Behaviour Support Practitioner. She balances her clinical work with providing supervision to emerging and experienced psychologists, as well as running the role of Chair of the AACBT Queensland branch.

Over the last decade, she has worked in settings including various private practices, educational spaces, government, and not-for-profit organisations (including with child-safety clients and individuals living with a disability).

Her current interest is supporting business owners and young professionals with their mental health challenges and improving the quality of their lives and relationships.

Adela is trained in Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural therapy (DBT), Cognitive Intervention for PTSD (CI-PTSD) and utilises a tailored, evidence-based approach with each individual client.

She completed her Bachelor of Psychological Science with Honours at the University of Queensland in 2013. Since then, she gained her general registration with AHPRA and has attended numerous trainings, conferences, and workshops to continue developing her skills in psychology, supervision, and leadership.

Outside of the therapy room, Adela enjoys cooking and eating good food, painting, and spending time out in nature with her loved ones. As you will be able to see, Adela loves her plants and enjoys nurturing and propagating them (although not always well!).

If you’re wondering where her last name (and accent) come from, it’s Bosnia, a small but mighty European country. After a chaotic start to life due to a war in the 90’s, Adela moved to Australia in the early 2000s to start her new life here. She continues to speak the native Bosnian language and visits the country regularly. Despite the challenges faced, Adela uses her personal experience to further empathise with and show compassion to her clients.
