Support & Resources

Support when it matters most — in crisis and beyond.

Support looks different for everyone — sometimes it’s crisis care, other times it’s financial, safety, or connection. At The Liminal Clinic, we’ve gathered resources with intersectional and marginalised identities in mind, so you can find the right support for what matters most to you.

Support Areas

We are a values lead organisation.

We believe in care that is patient, honest and real. We know healing doesn’t always follow a straight line, and that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to mental health. As a team we live these values to ensure inderviduals are supported in a way that works for them.

Family & Partner Violence

We centre every facet of your identity—gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, culture and ability - modelling deep, multifaceted understanding so you feel truly seen.

We see your full identity across gender, neurotype, culture, and ability.

Crisis & Helplines

We welcome all of you — messy, complex, and real. We embrace the full spectrum of human experience, emotions and missteps included, and model compassionate presence without apology.

There’s no need to shrink or explain.

Community & Connection

We draw on both our own and our community’s journeys, using lived experience to guide how we listen, learn, and support.

With openness, curiosity, and resilience, we show up in our work in ways that are real and informed.

Between-Session Support

We guide you through spaces and identities that may feel uncertain or misunderstood, offering culturally and emotionally safe care with empathy, understanding, and adaptability.

We see you, let us guide you.

Medical & Allie

We uphold ethical, evidence-informed practice, while embracing technology, community connection, and continual learning.

Offering care that is both meaningful and ever-evolving.

Financial Supports

We centre every facet of your identity—gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, culture and ability - modelling deep, multifaceted understanding so you feel truly seen.

We see your full identity across gender, neurotype, culture, and ability.

Housing & Accommodation

We draw on both our own and our community’s journeys, using lived experience to guide how we listen, learn, and support.

With openness, curiosity, and resilience, we show up in our work in ways that are real and informed.

Legal & Advocacy

We uphold ethical, evidence-informed practice, while embracing technology, community connection, and continual learning.

Starting your Liminal journey

Our Matching & Intake Process

At Liminal Clinic, therapy begins with connection. The relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of healing and growth, and our intake process is designed to make sure the fit feels right — for you, for us as a clinic, and for the clinician you’ll be working with.

We celebrate being human in all its diversity — and we don’t accept apologies for being human. Our services are gender-affirming, trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming, and inclusive of people with multiple and intersecting marginalised identities.

  • Start by reaching out via phone, web form, chat, or email.

    We’ll send you a link to our Getting to Know You Questionnaire, or if you’re ready, you can complete it straight away as part of your initial contact/query form.

    You can let us know if you’re interested in Liminal Psychology (therapy) or Liminal Screening & Assessment services.

  • This is part of our screening process — a way for us both to explore fit.

    • Takes around 30–60 minutes (you can pause and return anytime)

    • No “wrong” answers — just what feels right for you

    • We’ll respond within 3 business days

    ✅ If we’re a good match → we’ll invite you to complete our Intake Form.

    ❌ If not → we’ll let you know with care and suggest alternatives.

  • If we’re moving forward, you’ll complete our New Client Intake Form, which also takes around 30–60 minutes.

    This form helps us understand your:

    • mental & physical health history

    • family history & relationships

    • education, work & social context

    • developmental history

    • current symptoms & concerns

    You can also provide:

    • a GP referral

    • a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP)

    • an Eating Disorder Plan (EDP)

    • or details of other funding (e.g. NDIS)

    💡 Completing this form reduces the time spent on background questions in your first sessions, so we can focus straight away on what matters most for you.

    • Payment for your first session is required at the time of booking.

    • After your first session, we prefer to book five sessions at a time. This helps maintain consistency and supports your therapeutic progress.

    If there’s immediate availability and a good clinician match, we’ll book you in straight away.

    If not, you may need to wait until the right spot opens.

    Waitlist policy: We generally don’t accept people onto the waitlist if the wait will be longer than 4 weeks. If that applies, we’ll let you know clearly and share suggestions for other options that may suit you better.

    If you are placed on the waitlist (short-term), we’ll support you by:

    • providing regular updates

    • starting neurodivergence & trauma screening

    • sharing resources and information

    • offering referrals or extra supports if needed

  • This is where the therapeutic relationship begins. In the lead-up, we’ll provide reminders and helpful information at key moments, so you feel prepared and supported.

    In your first session, you’ll:

    • meet your clinician and settle in

    • ask questions and clarify expectations

    • begin focusing on what’s most important for you right now

Why This Process Matters

Our intake process isn’t just about forms — it’s about care. Each step helps us understand you more fully and ensures you feel supported, informed, and connected from the start. Whether you begin therapy right away or need to wait a little, you’ll know you’re not alone.
