We specialise in

Life Changes

Navigating life's transitions can feel overwhelming, whether you're facing career shifts, relationship changes, or major life milestones.
Our experienced psychologists understand that change, even positive change, can activate anxiety and uncertainty about the future. We aim to provide a supportive therapeutic environment to help guide you through these changes. Here, you can process these transitions with professional guidance and develop healthy coping strategies that actually work. Life changes are inevitable, but you don't have to face them alone.

PTSD and C-PTSD

Trauma can leave lasting imprints on both mind and body, affecting how you move through the world and relate to others. Our experienced psychologists understand that PTSD is not a sign of weakness but an often normal response to abnormal experiences. It's your nervous system’s way of trying to protect you. We provide trauma-informed care using evidence-based approaches to help you process traumatic memories safely and reclaim your sense of agency. We offer EMDR and other evidence based trauma therapy modalities. Healing is possible, and you deserve professional support to help you move from surviving to thriving.

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety can manifest in countless ways, and each subtype may manifest in various symptoms which require their own tailored support. From persistent worry and racing thoughts to physical symptoms that impact your daily functioning; Our qualified practitioners understand that you often can't simply think your way out of it. We offer evidence-based treatments and tailored approaches to help you regain control over anxious thoughts and physical symptoms. You deserve to function, and live a fulfilled life without overwhelming fear or worry disrupting your days.

Skill Enhancement

Building emotional intelligence and coping skills empowers you to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. Our practitioners help can help you develop practical tools for communication, stress management, and emotional regulation that serve you in all areas of life. Whether you're looking to improve relationships, enhance workplace performance, or simply feel more equipped to handle daily stressors, we provide personalised skill-building support. Investing in your emotional toolkit is one of the most valuable gifts you can give yourself and those around you.

Self-esteem & Self-worth

Your relationship with yourself forms a foundation to many other relationships and experiences in your life. When self-esteem and self-worth is low, it can impact future relationships and our engagement with the world around us. You can feel stuck in patterns of self-criticism and doubt that seem impossible to break. Our Surry Hills based practitioners help you identify and challenge negative self-talk while building authentic confidence rooted in self-compassion.

Grief & Loss

Loss comes in many forms. Death of loved ones, end of relationships, job loss, or even the loss of dreams and expectations you held dear. Our compassionate psychologists understand that grief is not linear and there's no right way to grieve. We provide a safe space to honour your loss while learning to carry it alongside hope for the future. Your pain is valid, and professional support can help you navigate the complex emotions of grief while finding meaning and connection again.

Individual and relationship Therapy - Surry Hills or telehealth Australia wide.

Individual therapy and relationship therapy provides a dedicated space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Our Surry Hills therapists understand that every person's journey is unique. What works for your friend, colleague or family member might not be the right approach for you. That's why we tailor each counselling session to meet your specific needs and circumstances.

Our qualified clinician team creates a therapeutic environment where authenticity is celebrated and vulnerability is welcomed. You don't have to pretend everything is fine. You don't have to have all the answers before you walk through our door. Sometimes the most powerful healing happens when we simply allow ourselves to be seen and heard by someone trained to understand the complexities of human experience.

We work with a range of therapeutic modalities because people heal differently. Some find relief through practical strategies, while others benefit from psychodynamic approaches or mindfulness-based interventions. The relationship between you and your therapist forms the foundation of effective treatment. It's about finding that connection where real work can happen.

Individual therapy isn't just about addressing mental health concerns. It's also about growth, self-discovery, and building the skills you need to navigate life's inevitable challenges. Clients often find that investing in their psychological wellbeing creates positive ripple effects across all areas of their lives. Relationships improve. Work becomes more manageable. Daily stressors feel less overwhelming.

The decision to seek therapy takes courage. We honour that courage by providing professional, ethical, and compassionate mental health services that respect your pace and honour your unique story. Our counselling approach is collaborative, meaning you're an active participant in your healing journey.
