INTERLUDE

At present, all appointments are provided via secure Telehealth/online video sessions. This allows us to support clients in a flexible and accessible way.

We provide psychological therapy and assessment services for children, adolescents, and adults. We welcome and affirm people of all identities.

We support a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns, including but not limited to ADHD assessments, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress/burnout, trauma, OCD, attachment/relationship concerns, cultural concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, neurodivergence — ADHD and autism, adjustment difficulties, and perfectionism.

We tailor treatment to each client’s individual needs, goals, and preferences. Therapy is collaborative and may incorporate approaches such as:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E)

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed approaches

• Metacognitive Therapy (MCT)

• Schema Therapy

• Solution-Focused Therapy

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT)

The first session is an opportunity to discuss your current concerns, background, and goals. We will explore what has brought you to therapy and begin developing a plan that feels supportive for you.

No referral is required to book an appointment privately. However, some funding streams or third-party services may require referral documentation.

Medicare rebates are not currently available for appointments.

Research has shown that telehealth psychology can be highly effective for many mental health concerns and offers a flexible, accessible alternative to in-person therapy.

If technical difficulties occur, we will attempt to reconnect through video or continue the session via phone where appropriate.

Standard therapy sessions are 50 minutes long unless otherwise arranged.

Your privacy and confidentiality are taken seriously.

Therapy can be a supportive space to better understand your experiences, develop coping strategies, improve wellbeing, and work toward meaningful goals. If you are unsure whether our services are the right fit, please contact us to discuss your needs.
