What is Sharp Minds Psychology?
Sharp Minds Psychology is a 100% telehealth mental health and wellness practice based in Australia.
We offer therapy, programs, and community-based support with a holistic, trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, and inclusive approach. If you have any questions about our services, see our frequently asked questions for more information. For additional clarity, our Frequently Asked Questions About Sharp Minds Psychology cover a wide range of topics specific to our practice.
We work with adults, couples, youth, and families, with particular care for people who are neurodivergent, queer, culturally diverse, or navigating complex life experiences. If you would like to learn more about our values or team, the Frequently Asked Questions About Sharp Minds Psychology provide helpful insights.
Do you only offer therapy?
No — and that’s intentional.
Alongside individual therapy, Sharp Minds Psychology is expanding into:
- Group programs
- Relationship and community hubs
- Psychoeducation and digital wellness resources
- Workshops and future community offerings
We believe mental health support should extend beyond weekly therapy sessions and into everyday life.
Is Sharp Minds Psychology fully online?
Yes. We are 100% telehealth.
Sessions are conducted via secure video or phone, allowing you to access support from anywhere in Australia — without travel, waiting rooms, or added stress.
If you’re new to telehealth, we’ll guide you through it simply and gently.
Who do you work with?
Our therapists support people experiencing:
- Anxiety, stress, burnout, and overwhelm
- Depression and mood concerns
- Neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, AuDHD)
- Relationship and attachment challenges
- Identity, sexuality, and gender exploration
- Trauma and complex life experiences
- Life transitions, parenting, and emotional regulation
We also work with couples, polyamorous dynamics, and diverse relationship structures.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. We offer a 15-minute free initial consult.
This is a chance to:
- Ask questions
- Get a feel for the therapist
- See if our approach feels right for you
It’s an introduction — not a therapy session — and is designed to help you make an informed choice.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book directly online through our booking system.
Once booked, you’ll receive confirmation and instructions by email.
If you’re unsure who to book with, our admin team can help guide you. Furthermore, many common queries are addressed in our Frequently Asked Questions About Sharp Minds Psychology to assist you during the booking process.
Do you offer Medicare rebates?
Some sessions are Medicare-rebated with a valid Mental Health Care Plan from your GP.
Rebate eligibility depends on the therapist and service type.
We’ll always be transparent about fees and rebates before your session.

Pricing is shared clearly at the time of booking — no surprises.
Are your therapists queer- and neurodivergent-affirming?
Yes — this is core to who we are.
All Sharp Minds Psychology therapists practise from a queer-affirming, neuroaffirming, trauma-informed lens.
Many of our team also live experience these identities themselves.
You never need to explain or justify who you are here.
Is Sharp Minds Psychology culturally inclusive?
Absolutely.
We are committed to culturally sensitive, inclusive care and are continuing to expand our Community Hub, multilingual resources, and culturally informed support options.
What if I’ve had a bad experience with therapy before?
You’re not alone — and you’re welcome here.
We prioritise:
- Consent-based therapy
- Collaboration over authority
- Emotional safety over diagnosis
- Flexibility over rigid structures
You are always in control of your pace, goals, and boundaries.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We understand life happens. For convenience, answers to many policies and procedures are available among the Frequently Asked Questions About Sharp Minds Psychology on our website.
We ask for notice when cancelling or rescheduling so we can offer sessions to others.
Our full cancellation policy is provided at the time of booking.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Your privacy and confidentiality are taken seriously and handled in line with Australian privacy laws and professional standards.
How is Sharp Minds Psychology different from other practices?
We’re not interested in doing therapy the “old way.”
Sharp Minds Psychology blends:
- Evidence-based therapy
- Nervous system awareness
- Wellness-first values
- Community and connection
- Accessibility and inclusivity
We’re building something human, modern, and sustainable — for clients and therapists.
