Our Story.
Welcome to Empathetix Psychology, where we prioritise an empathetic approach to mental health. Our Director and Principal Psychologist was inspired to start this company for the same reason she became a psychologist; to achieve and maintain meaningful change in the world by improving the mental health and wellbeing of people in need.
Our Team.
Empathetix Psychology specialises in providing a unique, empathetic approach to psychotherapy. Our team believe that the foundation of effective therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client, and that empathy is the key to that relationship. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, we empower clients to explore their emotions, overcome challenges and improve their overall wellbeing.
