PSYCHOLOGY SYDNEY

For a Healthy Mind and Body

A Compassion Focused, Trauma Aware, Inclusive Psychology Practice.

♥ Happy Mardi Gras ♥

An Integrated Psychology Practice

Our Vision is to empower individuals to cultivate self-compassion, resilience, and meaningful connection by providing inclusive, affirming, and evidence-based psychological care.

We envision a world where every person feels worthy of care, seen in their individuality, and supported in their journey toward mental wellness to be able to navigate life with confidence.

What sets us apart is our integrated, compassionate approach to Eating Disorders (including ARFID), Neurodivergence, and Trauma. We work closely with individuals and families, meeting each person where they are — with respect, curiosity, and care.

We don’t pathologise difference. Instead, we embrace and celebrate neurodivergence for its unique strengths, perspectives, and challenges. Our work is deeply rooted in lived experience, and we lead with a trauma-aware, inclusive, intersectional and weight-neutral lens.

Our team brings together credentialed eating disorder clinicians, a neurodivergent-affirming dietitian, and EMDR-trained professionals — all committed to walking alongside you to navigate life with confidence.

The heart of what we do is to motivate and empower you to embrace your true self and treat yourself in the best possible way, psychologically and physically.

We value lived experience, are neurodiversity affirming and inclusive.

Our approach to an integrated self

Compassion Focussed

Compassion is an essential aspect of wellbeing. The overarching goal is to cultivate compassion for self and others and reduce shame and self criticism. It brings together neuroscience and psychology to help us understand what drives us to behave, feel or think in these particular ways and help us learn new strategies that generate contentment and safety.

Mindfulness Based

When we are practising mindfulness we are engaged fully in what we are doing rather than ‘getting lost’ in thoughts. We are allowing feelings and thoughts to be as they are, letting them come and go rather than trying to push them away or make them stay. Mindfulness simply means being in the present moment with awareness, openness, and acceptance. Mindfulness contributes to an acceptance of self without judgement.

Trauma Aware

Being trauma aware is understanding trauma and its effects on development, health, wellbeing, relationships and the world around us and putting this into practice in all our interactions.

Trauma aware practice brings together neurobiology, an understanding of attachment, and our early developmental experiences to foster physical, emotional and psychological safety. It is a strengths based framework recognising that we responded the best way we could.

Healing from trauma occurs in a relational context. The goal is to work with the mind and body to develop a sense of safety in the world around us, build trust, develop skills and create opportunities for empowerment.

Intersectional Lens

We understand that mental health is shaped by the interplay of many different factors. Each person’s experience is influenced by the overlapping aspects of identity—such as race, gender, class, sexuality, disability, culture, and religion—which can sometimes amplify challenges or provide unique sources of strength.

By embracing an intersectional approach, psychology moves beyond one-dimensional views of identity and opens the door to more accurate, compassionate, and socially just care.

We recognise that one size does not fit all, and we are committed to meeting each individual where they are, with respect for their unique story and needs.

Inclusive

Care

We celebrate and respect the many ways people can be different, honouring the full spectrum of human experiences.

We value lived experience and support individuals of all neurotypes, holding a gentle, weight-neutral approach to care, especially in the treatment of eating disorders.

Our space is open to people from all walks of life, faiths, and cultural backgrounds.

We warmly embrace bodies of every shape and size, and we are dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and affirming environment for all bodies, identities, and expressions.

Above all, we are a welcoming and inclusive place for the LGBTQIA+ community.
