About Harriet

Harriet Iles — Founder, Clinical
Director & Registered Psychologist

I believe that knowledge is power and consider self-awareness and mindfulness to be essential catalysts for positive behavioural and cognitive change. My practice is centered on empowering you with psychoeducation and evidence-based tools to foster meaningful and purposeful change.

“To restore means to re-establish,
reconnect and come back to.”

Throughout my career, much of my clinical work with individuals and groups has centered on helping them reconnect with themselves, fostering mindfulness of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, while guiding them to align with their own defined values, needs and purpose.

Driven by my passion for providing a safe space for growth and my love for evidence-based therapy, I founded Restorative Space to further my mission of meaningful healing and personal development.
