At Howearth Psychology, we work with people of all ages and backgrounds experiencing social, emotional, cognitive, or behavioral challenges. Our approach is sex-positive, neurodiversity-affirming, and inclusive of LGBTIQA+ communities.
We offer support for general mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, and grief, as well as specialized assistance with LGBTIQA+ issues, eating disorders, and cognitive or diagnostic assessments. Our clients include individuals impacted by family violence, neurodivergent people (ADHD, autism, learning differences), and members of marginalized communities. We also provide services for self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants.
Our therapists draw on evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Metacognitive Therapy, and Mindfulness, tailoring our work to each client’s needs. We are an animal-friendly practice, welcoming service animals and well-behaved pets into our space. You may even meet our furry team members, Yoda and Basil, our friendly Pomeranian-cross assistants.
