Constant worry, panic, shutdowns or the feeling that everything is too much.
Depression and low mood
Gentle, practical support when life feels flat, heavy or hard to get through.
Trauma and PTSD

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?
No, you can book privately without a referral. To claim a Medicare rebate, you’ll need a Mental Health Treatment Plan and referral from your GP before your first session.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. You’re welcome whether you’re diagnosed, self-identified or simply wondering. If you’d like clarity, we can talk about an assessment.
What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?
Therapy focuses on mental health, healing from the past and managing emotions. Coaching focuses on specific goals, such as executive function skills, work or life changes. Many people benefit from a mix of both.
Do you offer after-hours or telehealth appointments?
Yes. We offer selected after-hours appointments, and therapy by secure video anywhere in Australia. Contact us to check availability.
Is the clinic neuro-affirming?
Yes. We see ADHD, autism and other neurotypes as natural differences, not something to fix. We build on your strengths and adapt therapy to suit you.
