Welcome to Self Psychology.

Self Psychology is a Townsville-based psychology practice, helping you in your pursuit of personal growth and betterment: the journey of becoming your best self.

Self Psychology, led by Melissa, offers an open and caring approach, fostering understanding, empathy and trust in an unbiased and safe environment. A place for realisation, self-awareness, exploration, and growth without the fear of shame or judgement.

Often, starting therapy can seem like a daunting process, and can be met with feelings of inadequacy or ‘brokenness’. We see it differently and see help-seeking as a sign of personal investment, strength, courage, and worthiness. Therapy offers an opportunity to unload some of the heavy burdens you’re carrying and a sense of clarity. Speaking to an impartial, qualified professional in a confidential setting helps you to organise your thoughts and feelings, navigate your emotional struggles and find strategies for personal growth.

Self Psychology offers support in all areas of psychology, with a particular interest in:

  • Perinatal psychology and birth trauma

  • Parenting and attachment

  • Relationship counselling

  • Grief and loss

  • Suicidality

  • Trauma

  • Anxiety, depression, and adjustment difficulties

  • Child and adolescent support

  • ADHD, ASD, and cognitive assessments
