We know that taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, so we focus on creating a warm and collaborative space from the very beginning.

We’ll listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and take the time to understand your concerns, your background, and your goals.

We invite you to share whatever feels right for you — it helps your therapist offer more personalised care. At the same time, we respect your pace and want to make sure you feel safe and ready throughout the process.

At times, it may feel uncomfortable, exposing or confronting. By sitting with and working through these experiences with your therapist, you can open the door to healing and new insights.

To create lasting change, it’s important to take what you learn in therapy and bring it into your everyday life. Your therapist will guide you, but the real transformation happens when you actively engage with the process outside of sessions. You might like to consider bringing a notebook to jot down reflections, ah ha moments, or intentions for yourself before and after sessions.

While it takes time to unlearn or reshape longstanding patterns and behaviours, investing in your growth and wellbeing is always worth it and you’re not alone in it.

We ask that you complete the following steps before your first session:

— complete the intake form sent to your email
— review and sign the consent form
— provide a copy of your Mental Health Treatment Plan (if applicable).

The day before your appointment, you will receive an email with a link to an online appointment. Click this link at least 5 minutes before your appointment which will take you to a new window in a secure platform called Coviu. You will not need to download any software or create an account. Simply enter your name, pose for a photo, and proceed with your session!

We are located in the Hurstwood Clinic at 16A Toorak Road, in the leafy suburb of South Yarra.

Enter the building, take one flight of stairs and take a seat in the waiting area. Your therapist will meet you at your appointment time.
