Who we are
Client-centered, evidence-based, and as individual as you are.
Committed to providing meaningful psychological care, we know there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution to the challenges you may be facing.
Our goal at Mind Cookie Psychology is to work collaboratively to help you achieve the personal outcome you are looking for, in a safe and relaxed space.
We go beneath the surface and help:
Adults experiencing long standing concerns
Adolescents adjusting to change
Children with behavioural issues
Executives and businesses dealing with stress
And through short and medium term interventions, individuals with:
mental health concerns
adverse life events
relationship conflict and
general concerns
Every person is unique, meaning the services you require will need to be just as unique. Through Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, solutions focused, schema therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), our psychologists have experience working with clients from all walks of life – and are with you every step of the way.
