Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
Starting therapy takes courage, and we honour that. Our approach begins with simply listening – really listening – to understand what brought you here and where you’d like to be. Whether you’re a Caringbah executive battling burnout or a Burraneer parent struggling with postnatal anxiety, we create a safe space for your story.
Our psychologists use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy, but we’re not rigid about it. We adapt our approach to what works for you, not what a textbook says should work.
Support for Life’s Real Challenges
Life in the Sutherland Shire might look picture-perfect from the outside, but we know everyone faces challenges. From the pressure of mortgage stress to relationship struggles, parenting challenges to workplace anxiety, our psychologist in Cronulla team helps you develop practical skills for managing life’s complexities.
Located in Woolooware with easy access from Kurnell, Greenhills Beach, Lilli Pilli, Miranda, Gymea and Kirrawee, our clinic provides a private, comfortable space where you can focus on your wellbeing without worry.
Building Resilience, Not Dependence
Our goal isn’t to see you forever. We focus on building your psychological toolkit – teaching skills and strategies you can use long after therapy ends. Think of us as your mental fitness coaches, helping you build strength and resilience for whatever life throws your way.
