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

Information and support for those experiencing or recovering from family, intimate partner, or relationship-based violence. Includes resources for safety planning, crisis response, and trauma-informed therapeutic options.

A curated list of 24/7 crisis lines and immediate support services for anyone in distress, needing urgent care, or seeking someone to talk to during critical moments.

Community & Connection

Spaces, groups, and organisations that foster belonging, shared understanding, and connection within LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and other communities

Support Services for Your journey

Identity Matched Support Services

This section highlights affirming and specialised services created for people with diverse lived experiences and identities. Here, you’ll find links to supports tailored for different groups and communities such as LGBTQIA+, trans and gender-diverse, First Nations, neurodivergent, disabled, and culturally diverse communities — as well as for survivors of trauma, violence, or systemic marginalisation.

  • 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.
