About Us

Foundations is a family-focused clinic built on strong values of authenticity, inclusivity,

connection, and integrity. We are a purpose-built private clinic providing therapy for

adults, children and adolescents, with special interest in supporting perinatal mental

health, parenting support, support for dads, and child mental health. Our team of

clinicians are highly trained with postgraduate degrees in Clinical Psychology and are

registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency. They are

passionate about working with parents and young people to ensure strong foundations

are set for life.

We offer individual therapy for adults and young people, neuropsychological assessments,

group therapy programs, and seminars. Our clinicians can indicate their preferences for

clinical work, and have the opportunity to experience variety in the workplace if this interests

them. Our community is for all families. Our clinicians are trained to deliver therapy that is

culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+ inclusive, and compassion-focused. Our hope is that all people

will feel a sense of belonging when they walk through our doors.
