Individual Therapy in Randwick, Sydney & Online
In-Person Therapy
A warm, supportive space to slow down and talk through what’s been feeling difficult or overwhelming. Together, we can make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface and find ways for life to feel a little calmer, more manageable, and more like your own.
Online Therapy
Therapy from the comfort of your own home or another private space. Online sessions can make it a little easier to fit therapy into your week, without the added time and effort of travel (pet appearances are always welcome!).
-
Find what actually works for you
Make sense of what’s been feeling overwhelming and learn how to respond to your emotions in a way that works for you. We’ll work together to understand your patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical ways to navigate stress, relationships, and day-to-day challenges with more clarity and steadiness.
-
Feel more like yourself with others
Build relationships where you don’t have to overthink, over-give, or keep questioning where you stand. As you better understand your needs and patterns, it can become easier to communicate, set boundaries, and connect with others in a way that feels more natural and less exhausting.
-
Be a little kinder to yourself
Move away from constant self-criticism and the feeling that you should be coping better. With more understanding and compassion for yourself, your emotions can begin to make more sense, helping you feel more grounded, at ease, and like yourself.
Therapy Approaches I Use
Therapy is a shared process, and it should feel centred around you, your experiences, your goals, and what feels most helpful for where you are right now.
In our first few sessions, we’ll spend time getting to know what has been feeling hard, what you’re hoping to better understand, and what you would like to feel different in your life. From there, we can gently build a plan together and choose the therapy approaches that best fit your needs.
-
Helps us understand long-standing patterns that may have developed earlier in life, especially the ways you learned to cope, protect yourself, or relate to yourself and others (parts-work).
-
A trauma therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories or experiences, so they feel less intense, stuck, or overwhelming over time.
-
Explores how earlier relationships may have shaped the way you connect with others, manage closeness, respond to conflict, or understand your own needs.
-
Practical skills to help with big emotions, overwhelm, communication, boundaries, and getting through difficult moments without feeling completely taken over by them.
-
Helps you understand your stress responses, such as fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown, and find ways to feel calmer and more grounded in your body.
-
A therapy approach for OCD that helps you slowly and safely face the things OCD tells you to avoid, while learning new ways to respond without compulsions, checking, or reassurance-seeking.

Frequently asked questions
-
You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Many people come because they feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, disconnected from themselves, stuck in patterns, or unsure why life feels harder than it “should.” Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what has been happening, and explore what might help.
-
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and gently explore what has brought you to therapy. We may talk about what has been feeling difficult, what you are hoping to understand or change, and any relevant parts of your history. There is no pressure to share everything at once and we can go at a pace that feels okay for you.
-
You do not need a referral to book an appointment.
-
Medicare: You may be eligible for a Medicare Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) after seeing your GP for an assessment and referral. This plan can subsidise up to 10 psychological therapy sessions per calendar year, offering a rebate of up to $145.25 per session.
Private Health: If you have private health insurance, you may be eligible to claim rebates on psychological services, depending on your level of coverage. Please contact your health fund directly to confirm your entitlements. You can submit your claim with your private health insurer after your appointment.
NDIS: Both plan-managed and self-managed NDIS options are accepted.
Please note, you cannot use private health insurance if you are already receiving Medicare rebates for the session.
-
Therapy sessions are available both online and in person. We can discuss what feels most comfortable and practical for you.
-
That is completely okay. You might just know that you feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, exhausted, or not quite like yourself. Part of therapy can be gently making sense of what is going on, even when it feels messy or hard to explain.
-
Feeling nervous is very normal, especially if you have not been to therapy before or if talking about yourself feels uncomfortable. You do not need to arrive with the “right words” or a clear plan. We can take things slowly and work together to help the space feel safe enough for you.
-
No. Therapy can support people through crisis, but it can also be helpful when you are wanting to understand yourself more deeply, improve relationships, manage emotions, reduce self-criticism, or feel more grounded in everyday life.
-
Nurture Space Psychology is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent support, please call 000 or attend your nearest emergency department. If you need immediate mental health support, you can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.
