Nice to meet you.
Hi there, I’m Mitra (pronounced Mee-Tra) Storey. I’m a Clinical Psychology Registrar and the Director at Resilient Roots Psychology.
I have two postgraduate psychology degrees and ISST standard-level accreditation in Schema Therapy.
I went back to study after a long gap because doing this work well matters deeply to me, and I take that responsibility seriously.
My own experiences of therapy showed me how transformative it can be when it lands at the right moment. I want every client to walk away with that same sense of possibility and change.
Outside the therapy room I’m usually in the kitchen experimenting with a new recipe, hanging out with my animals, or searching for the perfect coffee.
I look after myself because my wellbeing is important to me and allows me to show up for the people around me; I look forward to showing you how to do the same.
The wound is the place where the light enters you.
— Rumi
Meeting you where you are.
The Story Behind Resilient Roots
I’ve lived in four countries, grown up bilingual and bicultural and have been practising for the past nine years across the mental health system—from hospitals to community services. This life has taught me to sit comfortably in the grey areas: the spaces were identities overlap, cultures intersect, and recovery or belonging can feel layered. I notice both the nuances that make each person’s story unique and the common threads that connect us all.
I wanted to create a space where therapy could feel personal, steady, and grounded. A space without the heaviness of organisations, where people don't feel rushed or lost in a system.
Resilient Roots grew out of that intention: to offer high-quality, thoughtful therapy with enough room to really meet people where they are—like tending to the roots so the bloom can finally happen.
I work with adults who are tired of just "getting by" and want something different for themselves—healthier relationships, a stronger sense of self and community, and a life that feels more like their own.
Down-to-earth. Straightforward. No fluff.
What to Expect: Therapy with Mitra
Many of my clients grew up in complex or emotionally tricky families or are stepping into therapy for the first time because they're ready to stop repeating old cycles.
My motivation to do this work is personal: I know how powerful therapy can be when it truly meets someone at the right moment in their life. I want my clients to experience that same sense of possibility and change.
Working with me feels down-to-earth, warm, and straightforward. I won't sugar-coat things, but I'm gentle in how we approach the hard stuff. I'm here to help you understand yourself, build skills that actually make life easier, and reconnect with a version of yourself you can like—maybe even trust.
