Individual Therapy
We are a practice that knows who we are.
We are general counsellors, working across a broad range of issues. Some of our key focus areas include trauma, grief, gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, self-worth, family dynamics, sex, life transitions and stress.
However, we don’t claim to be specialists in any one particular field.
If we don’t have the necessary skills or knowledge to work with your particular requirements, we will let you know.
Therapeutic alignment and fit is critical.
We work hard to provide a trauma-informed, gender-affirming and integrative space.

Pay the Rent & Mutual Aid
The Pay the Rent movement calls for non-Indigenous individuals and businesses to regularly contribute financially to Indigenous organisations as part of reparations and restorative justice. This movement aims to provide tangible support to Indigenous communities, addressing historical and ongoing injustices while fostering a sense of accountability and solidarity.
At Progressive Therapeutic Collective (PTC), we've been paying the rent since our inception four years ago.
Each year, we allocate 1% of our annual profit to The Westerman Jilya Institute for Indigenous Mental Health and another 1% to Decolonise Sex Work Australia, a Blak mutual aid fund for sex workers. As a white-owned business, we believe it’s crucial to acknowledge and address systemic injustices against Indigenous communities. Our commitment to mutual aid is about taking concrete actions to bring aboug meaningful and genuine social change.
