Insight, support, and a way forward.

Our mission is simple.

To help you better understand yourself and move forward with clarity and confidence.

We do this by offering thoughtful, evidence-based assessment and therapy for individuals across the lifespan—from early childhood through to late adulthood.

Our approach.

We’re a young practice, but we make it a point to take the time to understand each person as a whole. We tailor our sessions to each person’s unique needs and provide clear, practical guidance to support meaningful change.

Therapy at Ferngrove.

We offer psychological therapy via telehealth only (interest for in-person sessions are welcome), providing a flexible and convenient way to access support wherever you are.

There is currently no waitlist, appointments are flexible, and Medicare rebates are available with a mental health care plan obtained from a GP.

If you have a mental health care plan, you are entitled to a $98.97 Medicare rebate per 50-minute session. This would bring the total out-of-pocket cost per session to $101.00.

Please note that the MHCP is only viable for 10 sessions within each calendar year.
