Directions is a psychologist practice based in Townsville, North Queensland, specialising in the emotional wellbeing of families and children.
Reviews for this provider are mixed and too limited in number to identify strong recurring themes. Some parents report positive experiences with individual therapists — one noting that a practitioner named Shane is "amazing" with their child, and another saying Jutta was helpful with both her children — while staff are described by one reviewer as understanding and compassionate. However, one detailed critical review raises serious concerns about administrative dysfunction, including unanswered emails, slow report turnaround, and paid services not delivered, alongside high costs and no positive outcome reported.
