Our approach
Inner Eastern Psychology uses evidence-based, person-centred therapy tailored to each client's needs. Sessions are structured talking therapies, often complemented by tasks outside the session such as thought diaries or practical exercises. The team draws on multiple clinical approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and others, selected based on individual circumstances and goals. An initial assessment focuses on understanding your goals, life context, and struggles to identify the most suitable therapeutic approach. All clinicians are trained independent mental health practitioners—Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, and Accredited Mental Health Social Workers—with expertise across various mental health presentations.
Meet the team
The team comprises experienced Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, and Accredited Mental Health Social Workers with diverse qualifications and specialist training in therapeutic frameworks including CBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, DBT, ACT, and others. Clinicians have expertise across a wide range of mental health presentations including anxiety, depression, trauma, complex trauma, neurodivergence, personality disorders, and eating disorders, among many others. The team comes from a variety of cultural and life experience backgrounds, enabling them to meet clients with openness and curiosity and offer a non-judgmental, affirming approach to care.
Your first visit
The first appointment involves a collaborative assessment and goal-setting process to understand your individual needs, context, and any relevant background information. Your psychologist will explore your current situation, struggles, goals for attending therapy, and may ask about your childhood and development to build a meaningful formulation of how and why certain challenges exist. This assessment phase helps identify which evidence-based approaches are most suitable for your circumstances. The psychologist will work with you to develop a shared understanding of what you hope to achieve through therapy.
