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.
