Meet Our Team

Our Geelong team is made up of warm, experienced psychologists who are truly passionate about helping you improve. Each of them have had over six years of training in the assessment and treatment of mental health issues. Our team uses evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Trauma Therapies to support our clients.

What Makes Our Team of Psychologists Different?

We truly hear you and believe you are making an appointment with us to feel more clear and confident in living a fulfilling life. We also know that therapy can feel like trial and error and we believe that tailoring therapy to each person's unique needs is the best way to provide effective care.

In 2021, we became the first Psychology Practice in Australia to use scientific matching to find the best match for each client. We are also accountable in your care. Each client rates their progress and helpfulness of each session so that we can tailor every session to your needs and aim for every session being better than the last.

This approach helped us reach the top 25% of mental health services in the world in 2025 when comparing other mental health services that use our approach. We are so confident in our approach we have published our results over the last seven years to inspire other services to focus on excellence in mental health care.

Our Team

Here you can read about each team member to get a feel for who they are. We provide a photo of each Psychologist as well as a video to better understand who the Psychologist is and if they are a good fit for you. Each Psychologist's bio shares more about their passion areas, their treatment preferences as well as who they are as a person.

You can also go through our matching process by clicking "Get Matched" which will identify which Psychologists treat your unique issues and who is available within 6 weeks. We call this an "Optimal Care Match" — it means your Psychologist has been trained and has a preference treating your unique challenges and can be seen quickly for optimal care.

This way from day one we are focusing on the Psychologist whose skills are the best fit for your needs and you can get a feel for who they are before you even have the first session. We hope this creates a sense of clarity and confidence for all our clients making their first appointment.

You can book your first appointment online or call us on 0414 232 043 to speak to our lovely reception team.
