You Don’t Have to Look Broken to Need Support.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step — especially when part of you isn’t sure you’re ‘struggling enough’ to deserve support. Many of our clients are high-functioning people: professionals, parents, students, and first responders who are keeping things together on the surface while quietly running on empty. You don’t need to hit rock bottom to reach out. If something feels off, that’s enough.
Life can quietly wear you down long before anyone else notices. You might look like you’re coping — functioning, even succeeding — while inside feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. You’re not failing. You’re carrying something. And carrying it alone makes it heavier.
Our approach is calm, collaborative, and shaped around you — not a protocol. You don’t need the right words, a diagnosis, or everything figured out before you begin. We’ll meet you where you are. Therapy at Mood & Mind is about understanding the patterns that drive how you feel and behave, building steadiness, and making changes that actually hold.
Why We Started – and Why It Matters
Located on the corner of Queens Ave and Auburn Rd, Hawthorn, Mood & Mind Psychology was founded on a simple conviction: that effective therapy begins with genuine safety.
A space where people feel understood, respected, and able to explore difficult experiences without judgement. The practice was created to offer thoughtful, trauma-informed therapy grounded in care, expertise, and deep respect for each person’s story.

The People You’ll Work With…
Behind every good therapy experience is a great psychologist. Spoiler: we’re pretty passionate about what we do!
Our team brings together years of clinical experience with genuine warmth and curiosity. Each psychologist is AHPRA-registered and has deep expertise in their specialist areas — from trauma and EMDR to burnout, relationships, and life transitions. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Your therapy is shaped around your story, your goals, and your pace.
Trauma Therapy Tailored for You
Trauma doesn’t always look the way people expect. You might not have a single defining event to point to, sometimes trauma is more subtle. But equally as impactful. Trauma is a persistent feeling that something isn’t right. You are on high alert and plagued by a constant worry that you are not good enough. You might find it hard to feel close to others. You cannot trust that someone would genuinely care about you.
Our trauma-focused psychologists help you to understand that these responses are not flaws or failures. They are learned behaviours that once helped you cope, adapt, or survive when safety or support wasn’t available. Your nervous system did exactly what it needed to do.
In therapy, we work with those patterns gently and carefully, creating new experiences of safety, connection, and choice. We use evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Schema Therapy, and somatic methods, tailored to your needs and history. With the right support, change is not only possible — it is deeply achievable.
