What we help with

Evidence-based treatment, tailored to you.

From Balaclava, Ripponlea and Elwood we see the full range — anxiety that hums under everything, low mood, relationship strain, disordered eating, trauma old and new, and adults wondering for the first time whether they might be neurodivergent. There's no problem too big or too small to bring in, and no label required to start.

Our psychologists provide anxiety treatment, therapy for depression, OCD treatment with ERP, CBT for insomnia, trauma and PTSD therapy, addiction support, and postnatal depression and anxiety care — using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy and EMDR, matched to what you're dealing with.

If you're not sure what you need, that's completely normal — you don't need a label to start. Our psychologists will help you clarify what's going on in your first session, and our what to expect guide walks you through how therapy works.
