About Equal Psychology

Who we are

Equal Psychology is a private practice for adults and older adults across a diverse range of human experience, from ADHD, to everyday stress and burnout, through to anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic health.

We're two registered psychologists and co-founders, Matthew Hallam and Natalia Cajide. We see clients in person in Kew and Croydon, and online across Australia. Meet the team.

What we believe

We're built around a simple belief: the environments, systems, and relationships surrounding care matter as much as the care itself.

So we pay attention to the things most practices treat as background. The spaces you walk into. How easy or hard it is to find us and get started. The experience of the first person you speak to. And the wider community of clinicians and referrers we work alongside.

We hold ourselves to that standard because the people we work with deserve care that matches the complexity of their lives, and because the wider system rarely makes room for it.

Where we're headed

We're working toward an integrative practice, where clinicians of different disciplines work as one team rather than alongside one another. In a world where everyday human contact keeps thinning out, connection is becoming one of the things people most need and most struggle to find. That's the work we're building toward.

How we sit with people

Three things shape the way we work. They're less a set of company values than a description of how we are in the room with you.

• Curiosity. We start by getting curious, not by deciding what's wrong with you. Understanding how you work comes before anything else.
• Resourcefulness. We work from the belief that you're more capable and resourceful than you might feel right now, and that a lot of what you need is already there.
• Acceptance. Not acceptance that things are broken. Acceptance that things are as they are right now, so we can drop the judgement and work with what's real.

Get started

Most people begin with a free 15-minute Meet and Greet, online or in person, with no obligation. If you already know what you need, or you're an existing client, you can go straight to the booking portal to book any of our services.
