Psychologist on the Gold Coast

Our rooms are in Mermaid Beach, on the Gold Coast Highway at the corner of Markeri Street, inside Mermaid Plaza. There is parking on site, and local buses run along the highway. You can read more about the rooms and what to expect on our Mermaid Beach practice page.

While the practice itself is in Mermaid Beach, people also travel to us from nearby suburbs up and down the coast and from inland areas. If getting to the rooms is not practical, phone and secure video sessions are available through telehealth, and you can mix in-person and telehealth appointments if that suits you and your psychologist.

Our Clinical Psychologists provide individual psychotherapy, couples counselling, psychological assessments and adult ADHD and autism assessments, and performance psychology. People come to us for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma and EMDR, grief, OCD and relationship concerns, as well as workplace stress, self-esteem, perfectionism, anger, adjustment to change and concerns about alcohol or other substances.

Therapy at MindTree is collaborative and tailored to you. In early sessions your psychologist will talk with you about what has been happening, what you would like to be different, and the approaches that fit your circumstances, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), schema therapy or, for trauma, EMDR. You will not be asked to take on more than you can manage.

You do not need a diagnosis or a clear label before you get in touch. You can meet the team to read about each psychologist's background and areas of practice, or use find a psychologist to describe what you are looking for and see suggested matches. Reception can also help you choose when you send an enquiry.

You do not need a referral to book. Call reception on (07) 5627 0215 or send an enquiry, and the team will help you find a psychologist and an appointment time that suits you.
