Meet The Team
Our team of clinical and registered psychologists endeavour to provide responsive and affirming care to all human beings, including people of colour, LGBTQIA+ folk, First Nations people, and people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds. ​Our psychologists are available for in-person sessions in our Surry Hills clinic close to Sydney CBD as well as online via telehealth.
​
All our clinicians work extensively with difficulties related to depression, anxiety (generalised, social, phobias, etc.), stress related to life circumstances (e.g. work, study, relationships, etc.), and from a trauma-informed model. Beyond this, we have listed some of the special interest areas of our individual clinicians below.​
