DEBBIE KAYA

Provisional Psychologist

Hello Everyone!

My name is Debbie, and I am a Provisional Psychologist from Psychs in Schools. I’m thrilled to join Roxburgh Park Primary School to collaborate with the amazing Wellbeing Team. My role here is to provide specialized mental health support to students in need, whilst also promoting mental health and wellbeing for every member of the school community. I’m deeply passionate about helping children discover their inner superpowers and ensuring they have opportunities to thrive no matter what obstacles or challenges they may face.

I will be here for the remainder of the year, and I am very excited to immerse myself in the school community and get to know everyone. So please say hello if you see me walking around the school during your breaks or in your classrooms.

I wanted to share a little bit about myself. I’ve lived in Melbourne’s northern suburbs my entire adult life and cherish the vibrant multicultural community we have here. I am a proud parent to two school-aged children and have a delightful fluffy ragdoll cat named Rosie, who I hope will one day join me as a therapy companion. In my free time I enjoy spending time in my garden as my favorite way to relax and connect with nature. I also love going for walks in nature trails and spending my holidays at the beach. Cooking is another favorite thing of mine and I especially love making Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. 

I can speak two languages, English and Turkish which I find exciting because it allows me to connect with more people. I look forward to meeting and learning more about each of you and having an amazing rest of the year together. Feel free to ask me any questions or share your own interests with me. I can’t wait to hear about all the things you love.

Best Wishes,

Debbie
