Psychological care in Townsville and Australia-wide by telehealth
Individual therapy, assessments and perinatal support
Self Psychology is a Townsville psychology practice offering thoughtful, evidence-informed care for children, adolescents and adults — in person in Mundingburra or by telehealth Australia-wide. Whether you're working through something specific or just feel like things have become too much, you don't need everything figured out before you reach out.
Support that meets you where you are
People come to therapy for many reasons. Sometimes there has been a clear event, such as a traumatic birth, loss, separation, conflict, diagnosis, or workplace stress. Sometimes things have simply become too heavy, too confusing, or too hard to keep carrying alone.
At Self Psychology, therapy is tailored to your needs, values, goals and pace. The work may involve building insight, developing coping strategies, processing trauma, strengthening emotional regulation, supporting relationships, or making sense of patterns that have felt difficult to shift.
Sessions are available face-to-face in Townsville and via phone or video telehealth.

A note from Melissa
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable. You do not need to know exactly what you need before making contact. Sometimes the first step is simply saying, “Something is not feeling okay, and I think I need some help.”
If Self Psychology feels like it may be the right fit, you are welcome to make contact and ask about availability, referral options, fees, telehealth, or the best pathway for your needs.
