We believe that truly effective mental health care comes from deep understanding, which is why our team is thoughtfully built to reflect the vibrant, multicultural tapestry of Australia itself.

OWC - our team of therapists of mental health services

Diverse Expertise, Shared Compassion

As a collective, each of our practitioners brings their own unique perspectives, drawing from a wealth of cultural backgrounds, personal histories, and diverse professional journeys. We're proud that our team's varied lived experiences, combined with over 25 years of collective therapy experience and diverse postgraduate specialist training, enable us to connect with a broad spectrum of clients.

This allows us to offer truly personalised, integrative, trauma-informed, and culturally sustaining therapy, ensuring you feel deeply seen and supported no matter your story. We also believe that being able to express yourself in your native language can deepen the impact of therapy. That's why our team collectively offers therapy in over 9 languages, including English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Cantonese, German, Kirundi, and Shona, breaking down barriers and fostering authentic healing for everyone.

All of us are Accredited with the peak Psychotherapy bodies in Australia: PACFA, ACA., AHPRA and ARCAP.
