About Mil
Mil Truscott MProfPsych, BPsychSc (Hons).
Mil Truscott is a fully registered psychologist with over eight years of professional experience across private practice and the not-for-profit sector. She has dedicated her career to supporting adolescents and adults through a broad range of complex psychological concerns, including mood disorders, grief and loss, substance use, trauma, and the perinatal period.
Now the central focus of Mil’s practice is her work with the breast cancer community—a clinical interest informed by lived experience. By combining therapeutic training with a firsthand understanding of navigating a cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship, Mil champions an authentic and safe therapeutic space. She provides grounded support to individuals and their loved ones, helping them process the emotional complexities of breast cancer in a time where the medical model often overshadows the psychological impact.
Mil's clinical practice is grounded in established, evidence-based modalities. Mil has undertaken extensive training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness and compassion-based approaches, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Her work is further informed by trauma-informed principles and contemporary integrative frameworks, supporting nuanced, formulation-driven care tailored to individual presentations.
She considers herself an ally of the LGBtQIA+ and Indigenous communities, undertaking additional training to increase knowledge around service provision to these communities. Additionally, her understanding of neurodiverse-affirming practices supports a safe space for this community.
