Feeling like life has become one hurdle after another?
Regain clarity and confidence with practical psychology support that helps you move forward.
Therapy can feel expensive, and take a long time to get started.
That’s why Forward Thinking Psychological Services exists: to support you toward a healthier, happier, and more functional life - with shorter wait times, fewer administrative hurdles, and transparent fees.
We work exclusively with adults, supporting concerns such as:
Health conditions and chronic pain that impacts quality of life
Anxiety-related difficulties, including Trauma/PTSD
Depression, Grief and Low Mood
Work-related stress and life transitions
We also provide comprehensive psychological assessments, including for ADHD or other concerns, to support study or vocational needs.
Sessions are delivered via telehealth, with Medicare rebates, and reduced gap fees for students and young adults to promote early access to care.
If you’re unsure whether this service is the right fit, you’re welcome to get in touch for further information or a brief discussion - with no obligation.

Support is available when you’re ready
In Australia, therapy wait times often exceed 12 weeks, with many psychologists managing long waitlists. Access is even more limited in rural and remote areas, and some clinics in larger centres may not be accepting new clients for extended periods. These barriers (along with the normal anxiety of meeting a new therapist) can make getting the help you need feel daunting.
Life can be challenging, and reaching out for support is a big step. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply want a better way forward, we’re here to help. Our goal isn’t just to ease the immediate strain - we provide insight, clarity, and tools that last well beyond our sessions.
We’re ready to meet you and work together on what comes next.

This varies depending on the person and the concerns you’re seeking support for. Some people find that 3–4 sessions are sufficient for short-term or specific issues. On average, many clients attend 6–10 sessions, which allows time for assessment and meaningful therapeutic work. More complex or long-standing difficulties may require longer-term support.
-
This is a common experience, and it’s completely understandable to feel unsure about trying again. While our clinicians bring experience and evidence-based skills, research consistently shows that the relationship with your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of success. The best way to explore whether therapy might be different this time is through a free 15-minute consultation, where we can talk openly about what hasn’t worked in the past and whether we’re well placed to help.
