• Our approach

  Sessions at Innermind Psychology focus on listening, guidance, and practical solutions in a compassionate, non-judgmental space. The psychologists work with evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, SFBT, Narrative Therapy, EMDR, Schema Therapy, Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and CCPT, tailored to each person's needs. Your psychologist will help you understand what's happening, validate your feelings, and provide you with strategies and tools to work toward problems that feel more manageable and acceptable to you. Sessions can be conducted face-to-face at the Fremantle practice or remotely via phone or secure video platform. The goal is to move from overwhelming emotions toward clarity, peace, and positive change, with your psychologist present as a guide at every step.

• Working with families

  Family therapy sessions at Innermind Psychology are designed to involve family members in healing and strengthening relationships. Sessions may include the entire family or specific members, depending on what's most helpful for your situation. The psychologist creates a safe space where everyone gets the chance to speak and be heard without interruption or negative reaction, and they explore how your family communicates, solves problems, and expresses emotion. Through this process, unhealthy patterns are identified and replaced with more positive ways of interacting. The psychologists have years of experience, including in Family Court processes, and work with compassion and clarity to guide your family toward meaningful connection and constructive solutions.
