When you're weighed down by emotions, even expressing yourself may seem hard. When it feels like nobody around you "gets it" - we do. North Brisbane Psychologists gives you a genuinely supportive space where you are cared for, can truly be yourself, and feel better. At North Brisbane Psychologists, we create a healing path that is 100% tailored to you and your needs.

We don't believe in "one size fits all" therapy. We believe in forging your own individual path to happiness and success. At North Brisbane Psychologists, we boast a caring and collaborative culture. In the first session, your Psychologist will focus on getting to know you (and vice versa), hearing the background to your issues, answering your questions, and working with you to set an achievable goal.

Charla is a warm and friendly relationship counsellor with a PhD in flourishing relationships. With a research and teaching background in relationship science and positive psychology, she works with individuals and couples to facilitate fulfilling relationships. Her research has looked into preventive interventions in relationships, the impact of culture and religion on relationships, and the impacts of online dating.
Struggling in your relationship? PLEASE NOTE: We have a new service for couples called Marathon Therapy, which is an intensive two-day program designed uniquely for you and your partner based on a comprehensive assessment of your relationship. Take that first brave step. Book an appointment with a psychologist from North Brisbane Psychologists.
I already have a Mental Health Care Plan but I want to see a different psychologist to the one on the plan. Is that possible?. If you are using a mobile phone, ensure it doesn't automatically make the first letter a capital. The truth is that different therapists handle their first therapy sessions differently.
Learn to apply the science of self-regulation and to stay cool, calm and collected under pressure. Dr Rachel Hannam is the Clinic Director of North Brisbane Psychologists. Alexis Dennehy draws from post-graduate research in Public Health and over 15 years consulting in contemplative practices.

Since consulting with David Mackay, I've felt significantly better in terms of being able to understand my thought patterns and remove my own judgment of them. He has taught me the concept of my emotions not being who I am, and techniques to create distance between my negative thoughts so they don't feel so overwhelming while increasing my confidence in my ability to cope with them. I always feel understood in my therapy and it's been so beneficial to discuss certain issues and process them in a calm and objective way.

My partner and I see Jeremy Gates, one of the Couples Counsellors at North Brisbane Psychologists. We wish we could give more than 5 stars. He has helped shift so many old ideas & baggage for us, particularly through the Gottman research based methods. We had tried another therapist (at another practice) but did not feel as listened to or heard or able to process things as effectively as we have with Jeremy. His humour, calm nature & depth of knowledge has been truly life changing for us. He made us both feel comfortable instantly & we were able to trust the process. We were looking for someone

I had little experience with therapy before visiting North Brisbane Psychologists, but they were sympathetic, welcoming, and very effective for me. Their staff were warm and considerate, and my psychologist was a great match, and very easy to open up with.
I'd recommend them without hesitation.

I have been seeing Jeremy Gates for the last few months, honestly I have had the best experience with him.
Every time my partner and I go we feel as if a weight has been lifted off our shoulders.. From our very first session I felt like I walked away feeling amazing. Couldn't him recommend more!!!

I saw all these life changing reviews and heard name from my GP about Jenny leing. I went to see her, she sounded very restless and she was in hurry to do something, her body was there but her mind and soul were somewhere, I kept talking but I felt that that my psychology was ignored, it could be her one of the day or mine.

Wanted to get in with Ingrid who is supposed to be great, but unfortunately the wait was months. Janet O'Donnell was free unfortunately. What a disaster of a psychologist, she now has a complaint against her for her 'skills'. Just do not book her... wait it out for Ingrid or Jenny. Or try somewhere else, there's plenty of wonderful psychologists around.

A caring team of highly ethical and warm practitioners. The psychologists I saw through the practice were able to provide support that was evidence based, with plenty of practical resources to share and take away. Their compassionate and empathetic approach was growth focussed . Highly recommend this practice .

I had the great fortune to have Dr Hannam as an Executive coach. Rachel created an environment in which I felt completely safe and challenged me in a supportive way that helped me grow both professionally and personally. I particularly connected with Rachel's compassionate approach (no blame games here) and her evidence-based approach to our sessions. I benefitted substantially from my program with Rachel and highly recommend her as a coach and counsellor.

From the moment I met Jenny Liang, I was welcomed with a sense of warmth and respect that made me feel "against my odds" there was hope. Her kindness, resources and ability over the last 3 years has been a reflection on her capabilities and the lovely person she is. I look forward to each appointment knowing she is very easy to speak with, there is no judgement but instead receive support and encouragement which is not only reassuring but important to anyone's life, especially facing difficult challenges against the odds. I am so grateful to have her as my Psychologist.
I "Highly" recommend Jenny

Rachel is a very thoughtful, compassionate, calming, and helpful presenter. I feel she really demonstrates a wonderful capacity to communicate challenging and important concepts in a supportive and sensitive way. I feel her insights, manner, and experience could be helpful to many individuals and organizations—especially people or workplaces that need to manage heavy demands and uncertain times
