About

Dr Candice Quinn is the founder of the 11th HR clinic,  a registered psychologist and executive coach with over 20 years’ experience spanning public and private sectors. Her extensive training includes a Bachelor of Psychology with First Class Honours and a Bachelor of Laws from Southern Cross University, a Master of Science in Medicine (Clinical Epidemiology), a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Sydney focusing on the neurobiology of clinical depression, and a Master of Organisational Psychology from Macquarie University. She is also currently completing an MBA at Bond University.

Dr Quinn’s early career involved multidisciplinary team work in child and adolescent mental health, crisis risk assessment, telehealth, and cultural diversity in mental health assessment. Her PhD research explored the biological, neuropsychological, and behavioural factors underlying different types of clinical depression, with practical experience contributing to the iSPOT-D clinical trial at Westmead Hospital.

Following her academic research, Dr Quinn applied psychological principles in the property and insurance sectors across Queensland, deepening her understanding of organisational behaviour, and what influences on wellbeing and performance across the Human Resources sector, with a particular focus on negotiation and conflict resolution. Her organisational psychology training has strengthened her expertise in systems-thinking and practical interventions, reinforced by leadership development training.

Today, Dr Quinn combines evidence-based clinical, organisational, and environmental psychology solutions to support individuals, teams, and organisations facing complex challenges in an increasingly volatile and uncertain world. Her approach integrates systems thinking and innovative strategies to help clients overcome obstacles and achieve sustainable wellbeing and performance.

Dr Quinn founded the 11th HR clinic to deliver this integrated, person-centred care. The clinic specialises in supporting people through trauma, injury recovery, psychological distress, burnout, and life transitions.

Dr Candice Quinn provides clinical and coaching psychology services to individuals facing a range of challenges, including workplace stress, burnout, anxiety, trauma, and neurodiversity conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

With a focus on capacity building for education and work, her clinical approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), complemented by the GROW coaching model and the Socratic method to support meaningful thought and behaviour change.

A key part of Dr Quinn’s approach involves assessing psychosocial factors that influence health and wellbeing. She works with clients to first understand whether their environment may be contributing to distress before addressing individual vulnerabilities, helping build resilience in the context of their unique life circumstances.

Dr Quinn also supports individuals affected by natural disasters, offering psychological care ranging from community-building and early intervention to treatment for acute stress reactions, anxiety, and trauma. While CBT forms the foundation of her clinical work, she integrates Gestalt therapy techniques when appropriate and collaborates with a network of specialists providing alternative therapies, such as equine-assisted psychotherapy, to address deeper psychological challenges.



Her coaching services focus on personal and professional development, assisting clients with problem-solving complex systemic challenges, navigating team and organisational dynamics, leadership growth, and career advancement.

Beyond individual care, Dr Quinn partners with organisations to provide workplace investigations, conflict resolution, and professional development programs aimed at enhancing employee wellbeing and organisational culture.
