Therapeia is a unique specialist practice, staffed by women, for women.
Housed in a lakeside cottage, located in the heart of Lake Macquarie, Therapeia provides a sanctuary to women seeking a different way to attend to their mental health and wellbeing.
Our hope is that from the moment you step into the serene and intimate setting of Therapeia you experience something special, a deliberate move away from the tradition of medically oriented services. Instead Therapeia aims to offer a homelike space, that feels instantly nourishing, warm, and feminine.
Our founder and senior Clinical Psychologist Bernadette Cross,
Bernadette Cross has spent her career cultivating a space for her staff and clients that reflects the safe, warm, and empowering needs she believes women are looking for in their desire to receive specialised holistic care. Our therapists, senior in Clinical and general Psychology, and Psychiatry, are driven to provide evidence-based treatments, but also to step beyond this with a respect for holistic care.
Our Financial support Options
At Therapeia we aim to provide accessible and affordable therapy. With a variety of options available depending on seniority and qualifications of therapists, as well as shorter appointments, and discounts for pensioners and students, or health care cardholders.
