The Talking Couch is the only private mental health practice dedicated to helping youth and young adults (12-24 years) in the Shoalhaven.
We pride ourselves on being different. For us, being client-centred and using an evidence-informed approach to treatment are not nice-to-haves but are at the core of our practice philosophy. Working together with you is a collaborative commitment, and while our practitioners are very knowledgeable in the various areas of mental health, you are and always will be the expert of your own life.
We welcome with open arms anyone who is within the age range of 10-24 years. We embrace diversity, and while we are neither colour- nor otherwise blind, we also strongly reject putting labels on people. In the end, we are all but human.

Life is seldom straightforward, and it hardly ever turns out exactly as planned. Sometimes, the obstacles in our way seem insurmountable, and sometimes we simply get lost somewhere. These and many other factors can lead to psychological disorders, ranging from mild anxiety to much more serious problems.
The goal of our practitioners is to lend you a helping hand in working things through, empower you to make decisions that are right for you, and ultimately provide you with a skill set that will increase your judgment and decision-making in the future.
No problem is too small or too big for us, so call us today or book yourself in to find out how we can work together.
