I am Tiffany Rochester, a Clinical Psychologist and Co-Parenting Coach living in Boorloo, on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja (Perth, Western Australia). My expertise has made me a sought-after trainer and consultant in the mental health sector, especially for working with separated families and the family court system. With over two decades of clinical experience, I draw unique insights from both therapeutic practice and the legal system.
As the founder of The Same Mountain and Co-Parenting Companion, I have developed evidence-based frameworks that transform high-conflict family dynamics into workable co-parenting relationships. My approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, and ProSocial principles, along with practical strategies drawn from extensive experience in:
- Expert witness testimony in Family Court proceedings
- Court-mandated therapy for families in legal disputes
- Child and adolescent mental health services
- Youth justice system intervention
- Perinatal mental health support
- Working with neurodivergent children, adults and families
My career includes leadership roles such as Past President of the ANZ Association for Contextual Behavioural Science, Research Associate for Telethon Kids Institute, and Council Member for Collaborative Practice Western Australia. Based in Western Australia, I regularly consult with mental health professionals nationwide on complex separated family cases.
My straightforward, practical approach has earned me a reputation for translating complex clinical challenges into actionable solutions. I integrate real-world experience with current research in my training, helping practitioners work confidently and competently with separated families while maintaining sustainable practice boundaries.
