Our Services
Our Values
We work hard to be a genuinely values-aligned therapeutic practice. This means we regularly consider our values in all of our decisions:
Anti-racist: PTC is a white-owned business and we acknowledge the privilege we hold. We are committed to working to dismantle those systems that uphold white privilege. We also know we must always be listening and learning.
Neurodivergent-affirming: We are neurodivergent-owned business and work to adapt our environment as much as we can. Our therapies/support strategies are for support, not to change / modify the ND person or 'make them fit' within the neurotypical paradigm.
Pro-choice: PTC is proudly pro-choice and supports the reproductive choice for all people. We provide abortion counselling.
Accessible: We work hard to make our practice accessible to everyone - from both a technology, therapeutic approach and affordability perspective.
Sex-positive & Kink-affirming: We are a practice where you can explore sex, intimacy, kink, desire and all forms of connection without shame or judgement. We recognise Sex Work as a legitimate profession and advocate strongly for its decriminalisation.
Intersectional: We seek to understand how aspects of a person's social and political identities combine to create different modes of discrimination and privilege.
We regularly advocate on issues impacting our local and global community. As mental health practitioners, we have firsthand insight into the systemic issues impacting people’s lives. We believe its not only acceptable, but important, for mental health practitioners to advocate for change.
Community & Advocacy
Transparent Pricing
Progressive Therapeutic Collective works hard to be a transparent, affordable and accessible service.
We don’t receive any government assistance, nor private funding. All of our work is funded solely through our therapeutic activities.
We have chosen to provide a two-tier payment option for individual counselling, in recognition of the cost of therapeutic support.
The financial discount option is available to anyone. We don’t require a concession card. We operate on a system of trust. If that’s what you can afford to pay, that’s absolutely ok! Please just let us know.
We don’t work with mental health plans, or private health cover.
If you can afford to pay the standard rate, we ask that you do, as that helps us to build our practice and contributes to our pro-bono work.
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.
