Welcome
The Blue Gum Centre is made up of eleven senior psychologists and psychotherapists.
Our shared purpose is to provide thoughtful, evidence-based therapy that honours each
client's individuality and life circumstance.
Our Values
At our practice, no two people are treated the same. We listen carefully to your experiences, your story, and your goals, and tailor our approach to fit you - not the other way around. While our team is highly trained in evidence-based therapies, we believe therapy works best when it is flexible, collaborative, and grounded in genuine respect for each person's uniqueness.
Who We Help

Our psychologists are trained in a wide range of evidence-based approaches, including:

Is Therapy for You?
Therapy is beneficial when your usual ways of dealing with life’s challenges are no longer working. Sometimes, all of your best efforts to find solutions can end up becoming part of the problem. You may feel out of options, and not able to shake it.
When you no longer feel able to sort out matters on your own, there is clear evidence to suggest the support and objectivity of a trained psychologist or psychotherapist can make a difference.
