Psychology for adults, at a pace that suits you.

Most people arrive carrying something that has become hard to hold on their own. We work with adults and older adults to understand it together, in person in Kew or Croydon, or online across Australia.

If you already have a sense of what's been going on, here's what we work with.

What we work with

Most people arrive with a sense of what they're carrying, even without a name for it. These areas are listed separately for ease of reading, but in practice they overlap, and most of the work begins with making sense of how they sit together for you.

Anxiety

Racing thoughts before the day.Therapy

Depression & mood

A coat that hasn't come off.Therapy

Trauma

Listening for what isn't there.Therapy

ADHD in adults

Everything started, nothing finished.TherapyAssessment

Sleep

Awake again, at 3:47.Therapy

Burnout & stress

Done before the day is.Therapy

Chronic health

Going at the pace it allows.Therapy

Older adults

More goodbyes than there used to be.Therapy

We don't treat a label. We start by understanding what's actually going on, and we do that together.

Who we see
Adults · 18 and over

For child or adolescent psychology, please ask your GP for a referral elsewhere.

If that answers enough, the first step is a short one.

Some people want to understand what they're carrying before they're ready to talk it through, or to get ready for a first session. We write for that too.

Answer

A short, plain-language reply

A common question people bring in, answered in four to five minutes of reading. Written for the situation, not the diagnosis.

For example
What happens in the first session for anxiety? →
Guide

A longer read, one idea deep

Ten to fifteen minutes on a single concept that helps make sense of an experience, with citations and a named reviewer.

For example
Anxiety as information, not malfunction →
Worksheet

Something to print and keep

Brief structured prompts as a fillable PDF. Useful on your own, or to bring to a session and work through with one of us.

For example
The avoidance audit (PDF) →

Starting

You don't have to know what's wrong, or what you need, to make a start. Most people don't. That's what the first conversation is for.

Whether you've been reading for a while, comparing psychologists, or working something out on your own, the next step is smaller than it looks. A free 15-minute Meet and Greet is a chance to see whether one of us is the right fit, before you commit to anything.
