Psychology for your mind and your body
Helping you recover from invisible chronic illnesses
We’re here to help improve your overall wellbeing and facilitate recovery from the inside out.

Are you looking for a psychologist to work with on your recovery journey from persistent pain, central sensitisation, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), functional gut disorders and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) ?

Do you want a holistic, mind-body approach for your chronic stress, exhaustion and your mental health?

Psycle is a clinic founded for people who answer “yes” to these questions.

The connection between the health of your mind and your body, impacts your quality of life and capacity to recover. This principal underpins treatment at Psycle.

"I believe that treating the whole body as an integrated system, getting the mind and body to work together, is integral to quality of life. Working together, we’ll address the challenges which may be holding you back, looking beyond the scope of mental health to find the right path for you”

Our
Approach

Your total health always comes first.

Working with Psycle is a relaxed, supportive and collaborative experience which will move at a pace where you are comfortable, but progressing in your goals. It can start with a phone call to see if an appointment is the best step for us to take.

Appointments are usually 1 hour and can be at our clinics in Hawthorn East or Carlton North, or by telehealth.

You can expect a warm welcome and catchup, discussion about treatment and progress, with the majority of our time spent addressing your issues in manageable stages.

We believe that connection is central to good mental health, so we’ll usually follow up by phone or email if we don’t see you for a while.
