Adult Psychology & Counselling
Life does not need to reach crisis point before it is worth talking to someone. Whether it is stress at work, a relationship ending, or something that has felt heavy for years, our psychologists work with you to understand what is going on and find a way forward.
What we can help with
Our clinicians support adults with everyday pressures and long-standing difficulties alike.
If what you are facing is not listed here, reach out anyway. Chances are we have a clinician with the right experience, and if we are not the right fit, we will point you towards someone who is.
How it works
Getting started takes a few simple steps.
Reach out, your way
Book online, send an enquiry, or call us. You only need to share as much as you are comfortable with.
We match you
Our intake team considers your concerns and preferences, including clinician personality, age and areas of experience, and suggests your best match.
Your first session
The first session is about building a connection and being heard. Together you will make sense of what is going on and agree on goals and a plan, at your pace.
Therapy shaped around you
There is no one-size-fits-all model here. Our psychologists are trained across a wide range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), schema therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy, interpersonal and psychodynamic psychotherapy, trauma therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. Your psychologist will recommend the approach best suited to your concerns and adjust it as you go.

Fees, rebates and referrals
You do not need a referral to see us. With a referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, Medicare rebates are available for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Private health cover may also apply, depending on your extras policy.
Common questions
What can an adult psychologist help with?
Our psychologists support adults with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, major life changes, sexual and identity concerns, perinatal mental health, low self-esteem and long-standing difficulties. If you’re not sure whether psychology is right for what you’re experiencing, you’re still welcome to reach out — our team can help guide you.
What happens in my first psychology session?
Your first session is about getting comfortable, feeling heard and beginning to make sense of what has brought you in. Together, you and your psychologist will explore your concerns, develop an initial understanding of what may be contributing to your difficulties, and identify what you would like to work towards. From there, your psychologist can develop a tailored plan for your care and support you at a pace that feels right for you. There’s no need to have everything figured out before you come in.
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist?
No. You can book directly without a referral. If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan and GP referral, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate. We also offer affordable appointments with provisional psychologists, with no limit on the number of sessions and no referral necessary.
If you have a referral or Mental Health Treatment Plan or any other funding document, please email this through before your appointment where possible. There’s no need to prepare anything else unless your psychologist has asked you to bring specific information.
