Caring for Western Sydney since 2004

Good therapy starts with being understood.

We're a values-led psychology practice in the heart of Parramatta. A calm, unhurried place to do the work that matters, with clinicians who reflect the community we serve.

Meet the team What we believe
Our story

A practice built around the person, not the file.

Mind Health opened in Parramatta in 2004 with one idea: good psychology should feel human.

We grew up in Western Sydney, and our clinicians speak the languages of the community. Therapy here is unhurried, judgement-free and a partnership.

Today we work across anxiety, trauma, mood, ADHD and assessment, in person and by telehealth Australia-wide.

Bülent AdaPrincipal Psychologist & Director

A film of 1 minute 8 seconds with music and no speech. A green line knotted around everyday worries lets go and draws the Mind Health emblem: good therapy starts with being understood. Light fills the plus hidden inside the emblem and leads into a sunlit forest, where a hand holds a dandelion: Whatever you’re carrying… we’ll help you set it down. Our reception in Parramatta, as the lights come on. Our story, since 2004: a values-led psychology practice in the heart of Parramatta, built around the person, not the file. Meet the team, the people you’ll actually sit with. Our clinicians speak the languages of the community, in person in Parramatta or online. What we help with, from everyday stress to life’s hardest moments. How we actually work, in five steps. Four things we won’t compromise on: human first, evidence-led, of this community, and no surprises. A green heart is drawn and beats once beside the word mind. A plus and the word health follow; the plus glides into the heart as it turns into the Mind Health emblem, and the two words join as mindhealth. Book online or call 1300 084 200, mindhealth.com.au.

Our approach

How we actually work.

  1. Enquire

    Online, by phone or with a GP referral. No referral needed. We reply within one business day.

  2. Matched

    On need, approach and fit, usually after a short call. Not the right fit? We rematch.

  3. First session

    Your story and what you want to change. You set the goals.

  4. Ongoing care

    Evidence-based therapy with a plan you can read.

    CBT, EMDR, ACT or schema therapy, matched to you, and you always know what we're working on and why.

  5. Review

    Progress checked together.

    We measure outcomes and adjust, including telling you when you no longer need us.

Values & ethos

Four things we won't compromise on.

Human first

You're a person, not a diagnosis

We meet you where you are, at your pace. The label matters less than the human in the room and what would actually help them.

Evidence-led

Evidence-based approaches, matched to you

We use approaches with real evidence behind them, such as CBT, EMDR, ACT and schema therapy, and we're honest about what fits you.

Of this community

Care that reflects who we serve

Multilingual clinicians who understand Western Sydney's families, cultures and pressures, because being understood is half the work.

No surprises

Honest, transparent, accessible

Clear fees, real rebates, and a clinician who tells you the truth. Good care shouldn't come with fine print.

By the numbers

Over twenty years, one street corner at a time.
