About Us
We’re a team of Psychologists, Accredited Mental Health Social Workers, EMDR and Couples Therapists who are passionate about providing inclusive, evidence-based support for mental health, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
We understand life can be messy sometimes. If you’re interested in becoming a happier, more fulfilled you, get started and get in contact today!
The Therapy Hub is a place where you can find support, compassion, and creative ways to think about and work through problems and difficulties and start to thrive as individuals, couples and families.
At The Therapy Hub we have a team of highly skilled and qualified mental health professionals, who will work with you to work towards your mental health and wellbeing goals. We are a fun, relaxed team and try to bring a sense of ourselves into sessions (that includes whimsical mugs, bad jokes and sometimes bad art or drawings). You can find our therapists using art, sensory toys, weighted blankets, board games, Uno, lego, drawing, mindfulness, walking therapy and so much more in sessions to help you feel engaged and supported. If there’s something you’d like us to try, don’t be afraid to ask. We want you to feel comfortable and safe in sessions with us. We not only support each other in our learning and development, many of our team members also share their skills and expertise with the wider professional community and other therapists through training, presentations and supervision.
We are an LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive team and understand the need for culturally-sensitive and neurodivergent-affirming practice.
