Who We Are
SSP are a team of experienced psychologists and a sexologist, who are committed to working with you from a non-pathologizing, trauma-informed framework. We invite you to explore the ways in which you have learnt to navigate the world with curiosity and compassion. Our aim is to foster an inclusive space that creates the opportunity for deeper understanding, healing, and personal growth through mental health counselling, deeper psychotherapeutic work, and sexual wellness coaching.
What We Do
We work from a holistic model of health care, which understands people in the context of their subjective life experiences. Rather than focusing on diagnostic labels, we ask the question of “what happened” to help our clients make sense of their personal life histories and current circumstances. We use a range of evidence-based approaches, depending on your needs and preferences.
What to Expect
We understand that seeking help for your mental and sexual health concerns can be a daunting process. We place the utmost importance on a creating a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment for our clients, believing that while the healing process is facilitated by the practitioner, it should ultimately be led by the client. We work in collaboration with you to help you move toward your personal goals.
"The 'immaterial' mind and its 'physical substrate,' the brain and body, are in a constant dance, as intimate as it is intricate," - Gabor Mate.
Sustainable Self Psychology would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Wunrundjeri people, and recognise the five tribes of the Kulin Nation. We offer our respect to elders past, present and emerging and support the ongoing work of reconciliation.
