Individual therapy on the Gold Coast

One-on-one support for whatever you’re carrying — anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, trauma or simply feeling stuck. Practical, evidence-based, and entirely focused on you.

For children (4+), teens, adults and older adults · In person or via telehealth.

A calm, welcoming seating space for individual therapy sessions on the Gold Coast

A space that’s entirely yours

Individual therapy is a confidential, one-on-one space to talk openly, be heard without judgement, and work through what’s troubling you at your own pace. Your psychologist gets to know you and your goals, helps you understand the patterns underneath the problem, and gives you practical tools you can use in everyday life.

If you’re not sure whether your concerns are “enough” to warrant support — they are. If something is bothering you or getting in the way of your life, therapy can help.

For children (4+), teens, adults & older adults

How we can help

We provide assessment, prevention and treatment across concerns including:

Anxiety, panic, worry, phobias and social anxiety
Depression, low mood and postnatal depression
Stress, burnout and life transitions
Trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
Grief, loss and adjustment
Self-esteem, identity and relationship difficulties
Anger, sleep, and unhelpful habits or coping patterns

There’s no concern too small. If something is bothering you or getting in the way of your life, therapy can help.

Evidence-based, matched to you

Practical therapy, tailored to you

Your psychologist draws on proven, evidence-based approaches — such as CBT, ACT, DBT, Schema Therapy and mindfulness — and matches them to you rather than the other way around.

The aim isn’t endless sessions; it’s real, lasting change and the confidence to keep going on your own.

Evidence-based care

Approaches we may draw on

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Schema Therapy & Mindfulness

Your psychologist will tailor their approach to you — there’s no one-size-fits-all.

You’re not alone in this

You might recognise some of these

People come to individual therapy for all sorts of reasons — you don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to start. Often it’s simply a sense that something isn’t sitting right. You might be:

Feeling anxious, on edge or unable to switch off
Low, flat or not enjoying things the way you used to
Overwhelmed by work, study or the pace of life
Struggling with sleep, worry or racing thoughts
Carrying grief, loss or a difficult experience
Stuck in patterns you can see but can’t seem to change
Navigating a big life change or decision
Wanting to understand yourself and feel more like you

If any of that feels familiar, that’s reason enough to reach out. Reaching out early often makes the path forward shorter.

Your first session

What to expect when you begin

The first session is a chance to be heard and to get comfortable — there’s nothing you need to prepare. Your psychologist will ask about what’s brought you in, what’s been going on, and what you’d like to be different, at a pace that suits you.

Together you’ll start to make sense of what’s happening and shape a practical, evidence-based plan. Some people come for a handful of focused sessions; others value longer-term support. Sessions run for around 50 minutes, and how often you come is always up to you.

Fees, rebates & getting started

Straightforward to begin — and more affordable than many expect

Good therapy should be within reach — practically and financially.

There’s no referral needed to start. You can book online in a couple of minutes or send an enquiry, and our team will help you find the right appointment and psychologist for what you’re facing.

Many people are eligible for a Medicare rebate when their GP provides a Mental Health Care Plan, which lowers the out-of-pocket cost of each session. Rebate amounts differ for a Psychologist and a Clinical Psychologist — you’ll find current fees and rebates on our Fees & Rebates page. If you hold private health extras cover, you may be able to claim through that instead (you can’t claim both for the same session).

We see clients in person at our Bundall clinic — Upton Professional Suites, Level 1, 105 Upton Street — just minutes from Surfers Paradise, Southport, Broadbeach and Benowa, with easy parking on site. Prefer to meet from home? We also offer secure telehealth appointments right across Australia.

Common questions

You might be wondering…

What can I talk about in therapy?+
Anything that matters to you — from a specific issue like anxiety or grief, to a general sense of feeling stuck or not yourself. There’s no concern too small.
How many sessions will I need?+
It varies from person to person. Many people notice progress within the first few sessions; your psychologist will discuss a plan that suits your goals, never more than you need.
Do you see children and teenagers?+
Yes — we work with children aged 4 and up, teenagers, adults and older adults. See our Child Psychology page for younger clients.
Is what I say kept private?+
Yes. Sessions are confidential, with limited legal exceptions your psychologist will explain up front.
Can I do sessions online?+
Absolutely. Choose in-person appointments in Bundall or secure telehealth anywhere in Australia.
What issues can individual therapy help with?+
Individual therapy can help with anxiety, depression and low mood, stress and burnout, grief and loss, trauma, self-esteem, anger, sleep difficulties, life transitions, relationship concerns and more. If you’re not sure whether therapy is right for what you’re facing, you’re welcome to ask — we’ll point you in the right direction.
What happens in the first therapy session?+
Your first session focuses on understanding you and your goals — your history, what’s troubling you now, and what you’d like to change. From there your psychologist suggests an approach and you decide together how to proceed. There’s no pressure and nothing you need to prepare.
How much does individual therapy cost?+
Fees vary by clinician and whether a Medicare rebate applies. With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, eligible sessions attract a rebate that reduces your out-of-pocket cost. See current fees on our Fees & Rebates page.
