Due to Covid-19 lockdown, we are conducting all sessions via ZOOM and Phone to help stop the spread. 

Dr Fabiola Barba Ponce

I’m a Sydney-based registered psychologist, originally from vibrant Mexico—think tacos meets flat whites, with a dash of PhD academic rigour on top.

When I’m not in session or onsite in your business, I lecture at the University of the Arts London and Macquarie University, where I’m also a  Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Risk Analytics, exploring how work and life collide.

Credentials?

  • BA in Psychology
  • Master’s in Management & Social Development 
  • PhD Psychology (yes, I love uni that much)

I work with high performers—leaders, founders, big thinkers—who have it together but still need space to pause, recalibrate, and lead with clarity.

My approach is evidence-based, globally informed, and culturally attuned, with just enough Mexican spice to keep it human. Growth and mental health don’t need to be complicated; they can be evidence-based, transformative, strategic, and sometimes even fun.
