Keeping Your Health in Mind
Our Practice
Our NDIS psychology supports are designed to meet your needs in the community as we come to you. Without the confines of an office space, we are able to travel to you and have a session at a place and time of your choosing. We have found this approach allows for greater flexibility for a number of people and reduces barriers to seeking care.
We also offer Telehealth through our online booking system catering to those with a Mental Health Care Plan or fee paying. Medicare rebates are $92.90. If you would prefer face-to-face appointments please contact us for arrangements in the Strathpine area.
We are proud to provide a high-quality level of support using a client centred approach – which means we will listen to you and your needs, taking the time you deserve.
We have experience in treating a number of mental health conditions and disabilities using individualised approaches. Our clinicians have extensive experience supporting people with dual diagnoses across the child safety, justice, mental health and disability sectors. We are committed to supporting your life and personal goals and believe in working closely and collaboratively to achieve strong outcomes.
As Registered Psychologists we are trained in evidence-based styles of therapy. Depending on your Psychologist, they will be utilising the techniques most suited to your presentation.
Whether your reason for seeking therapy is due to curiosity, encouragement from a loved one, or because you have been struggling with an issue that won’t seem to go away, we want you to know that any reason, is a good enough reason to reach out.
You are valued, important and not alone. Please get in contact because we would love to help you live your best life.
Our Services
NDIS Clients
We provide Psychology services for children, teens & adults with an NDIS plan. Our services include travel to & from your home or preferred location for added convenience & support in your natural environment. We can offer services to both self & plan-managed clients.
Mental Health Care Plans
We offer a fee for service for those looking to access support privately. Accessing a mental health care plan through your GP can provide you a contribution from Medicare (Gap Fee $121.51) towards up to 10 appointments per calendar year. Please contact us for face-to-face arrangements, or you can book our Telehealth option online.
Assessments
We are able to administer a number of assessments to assist with your NDIS application or review, as well as clarify a diagnosis or even help you so better understand yourself. Assessments can cover cognitive, functional & emotional domains, as well as personality and job assessments. Please contact us to discuss your assessment needs.
Telehealth
We offer remote sessions via video for added convenience and accessibility. To engage in these sessions you will require a quiet and private location, and a device with a camera including phone, computer or tablet. Headphones are recommended to maintain privacy.
Our Clinicians
Kate
Kate is a registered psychologist with over 10 years of experience working in the disability sector throughout a variety of roles and has a good understanding of the system. She works with children, young people, and adults.
Kate has experience in supporting people with a wide variety of mental health concerns. She uses a biopsychosocial and strengths-based approach to working with people and is experienced at working with multiple stakeholders to ensure the best outcome for clients.
Kate is passionate about not just supporting people with disabilities, but their support systems. Having a family member with a disability is a unique experience that comes with its own amazing moments and challenges. Being a part of a support system can contribute to stress, anxiety and depression, and carers often put their needs on the backburner. Being the best version of yourself flows through to the whole family, and seeking support may be exactly what you need.
