About Our Services

Our Approach 

At Inner Eastern Psychology, we provide clinical services that are evidence-based and person-centred. Our team consists of Psychologists and Accredited Mental Health Social Workers. Individual therapy is at the core of our work and is complemented by family, parent and couples therapies. Our clients come from a range of life stages and include children, adolescents and adults. We pride ourselves in working with individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds and identities.

Our services are summarised below. Since a person’s experiences may not be defined by any single set of words, we believe in using a dynamic and collaborative process to find the appropriate therapeutic approach with you.
