Caitlin Thamm, a 28-year-old psychologist based in Brisbane, Australia, has transitioned from a 15-year career in dance, including formal training and participation with Queensland Ballet, to a focus on supporting the mental well-being of dancers. Recognizing the lack of mental health resources in the industry, she pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Human Services in 2018 and a Master of Counselling from the University of Queensland in 2020. Now a registered counselor, Caitlin employs a multi-faceted theoretical approach to create a safe and empathetic space for her clients, particularly those in creative fields like dance, where she offers personalized care to address their unique challenges and foster personal growth.
