Mental Health & Wellbeing
As an adult mental health practice, mental and emotional wellbeing is our ‘bread and butter’.
We work with individuals across the spectrum of emotional challenges, from people navigating complex mental health issues, to people looking to improve their resilience and optimise their wellbeing.
We help people lift their mood, reduce their anxiety, improve their self-esteem, regulate their emotions, put a stop to overthinking, cease people-pleasing, let go of unrelenting standards, work through difficult childhoods, focus on the present - and build a fulfilling and meaning future.
In Australia, people can seek a Mental Health Care Plan referral from a GP to access 10 Medicare subsided appointments with a psychologist each calendar year. If you feel that your wellbeing isn’t where it should be, speak to your GP, call us and take the first step to improving your emotional fitness.

Talking with a Psychologist gives you a safe and confidential space to explore your challenges. After assessing your needs, we can work together to formulate a plan. This can involve changing patters of thinking, feeling and behaving - or learning skills, strategies and techniques to overcome what’s holding you back.

No. You do not need a referral in order to book with a psychologist. However, you will need a referral in order to access a Medicare rebate or other funding to help cover the cost of appointments. If you’re wishing to speak to one of our psychologist, we recommend you book an appointment to speak to your GP and have them send us a letter and a referrral.

This is typically worked out on an individual basis, as it can be a ‘how long is a piece of sting?’ question. However, there are some guidelines from research we can follow. Most people can feel hopefully after the first or second appointment, though people typically begin to notice their improvements after the third session. A ‘typical’ course of a treatment like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is 10-12 sessions, which also includes a ‘relapse prevention’ plan to conclude therapy.
