Our Services
Therapy & Assessments that sees the full picture
We offer therapy, assessments, and support services for people navigating layered identities, life transitions, trauma, and neurodivergence. Whether you’re looking for clarity, support, or a safe space to just be yourself, this is care with no apologies.
Therapy that honours your whole story.
We offer therapy that truly sees you. With warmth and insight, we support your mental health, relationships, trauma recovery, and neurodivergence in ways that honour your story, your identities, and your lived experience.
Our care is inclusive, trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming, and grounded in evidence-based practice — because we know healing works best when the full picture of who you are is recognised and valued.
Liminal Psychology
-
Support for your everyday life and the in-between.
Therapy isn’t only for when things are falling apart — it can also help when life is steady, but you want to grow, reflect, or create change. You may come for support with:
Anxiety, depression, and mood regulation
Stress, adjustment, and burnout
Grief and loss
Sleep difficulties (onset, maintenance, offset, nightmares, quality, duration)
Anger management and emotional regulation
Workplace stress and study pressures
Self-esteem and confidence building
Life transitions, identity exploration, and decision-making
And more…
This is a space to reflect, recalibrate, and strengthen your wellbeing — whether you’re struggling, thriving, or somewhere in between.
-
Support that works with your brain, not against it.
We provide neuro-affirming support for ADHD, autism, AuDHD, dyslexia, and other neuro-profiles. We know that neurodivergent brains often think, feel, and process differently — so we adapt therapeutic approaches to suit your thinking style and lived experience.
All new clients are screened for neurodivergence, ensuring we understand your whole picture from the very beginning. We can tailor therapy to support executive functioning, sensory regulation, self-advocacy, and daily life strategies. But you are more than your neurodivergency, and we work with you on what matters most to you, while doing so from a neuro-affirming perspective.
Clients with NDIS funding (self-managed or plan-managed) are welcome. We also want to be clear: we do not practise ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis). Our approach is grounded in respect, autonomy, and affirmation of neurodivergent ways of being.
-
Care that celebrates you, in every spectrum of identity.
We provide inclusive, identity-safe support for LGBTIQASB+ clients across the spectrum of sexualities, genders, bodies, and relationships. Our services include WPATH-aligned gender affirmation assessments and reports, gender identity exploration and transition support, sexuality and intimacy counselling, and therapy for navigating minority stress, stigma, or discrimination.
Whether you are seeking support for mental health, navigating identity, strengthening relationships, or finding ways to cope with systemic challenges, this is a space where you are respected and affirmed.
✨ Note: In LGBTIQASB+, the SB stands for Sistergirls and Brotherboys — Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trans and gender-diverse people. Including SB is one way we recognise and affirm the unique histories, cultures, and identities that shape our communities. -
Support that sees you in all the spaces where your identities meet.
You may live at the intersection of multiple identities, including — but never limited to — identities and contexts shaped by race, culture, gender, sexuality, disability, neurodivergence, faith, class, migration, student life, employment, or financial stress. These intersections can bring strength and resilience, while also creating unique challenges when they overlap with stigma, exclusion, or disadvantage.
We also recognise that within-group differences can be marginalising — such as bisexual invisibility within sexuality-diverse communities, differences between visible and invisible disabilities, or uneven recognition of diverse neurodivergent profiles.
We offer therapy that honours this complexity of lived experience. Our work acknowledges the impact of minority stress, systemic discrimination, colonisation, intergenerational trauma, and settlement challenges, while also affirming creativity, identity, and community strength.
This is a space where you don’t need to split yourself into pieces. All parts of you — visible and invisible, celebrated and stigmatised — are welcomed. From here, therapy becomes not only about surviving systems, but also about building new ways to heal, belong, and thrive.
-
Real, compassionate, trauma-informed care.
We support people living with the impacts of trauma and victimisation including complex trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), developmental and attachment trauma, and identity-based trauma. This includes experiences such as:
Physical or Sexual assault
Family violence
Childhood neglect
Institutional abuse
Workplace bullying or harassment
Racism, homophobia, transphobia, or systemic violence
Our therapies include EMDR and EMDR 2.0, along with counselling tailored to recovery and resilience. We can also provide reporting for Victims of Crime matters and the National Redress Scheme.
-
Safe, affirming spaces for you to explore intimacy and connection.
Sexual health and intimacy are integral to wellbeing, yet often overlooked in therapy. We provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore:
Relationship challenges
Desire, arousal, pain, erectile, and orgasm difficulties
Exploring new or different forms of relationships
Navigating infidelity, secrecy, or feeling disconnected from a partner
Concerns around porn, dating apps, or digital intimacy use
Communicating openly about intimacy, needs, and boundaries
Anxiety about sexual identity, performance, or expression
Understanding and integrating fetishes, kink, or BDSM into your life safely and meaningfully
We are sexual health affirming, HIV+ friendly, sex work affirming, kink- and BDSM-inclusive, polyamory- and non-monogamy-friendly, and we welcome all expressions of gender, sexuality, intimacy, and connection.
-
Support for your eating concerns, body dissatisfaction, and self-image.
Most eating and body image services are designed around women’s needs or presented in gender-neutral ways. While our care is open to everyone, this service is created for you as a man — recognising that cis men, trans men, and trans-masc people may share similar struggles but often face different pressures, needs, and recovery pathways.
Men’s eating and body concerns are frequently hidden, under-diagnosed and under-treated, with shame and stigma making it harder to seek help. Here, you can talk openly about:
Body dissatisfaction and appearance-related distress
Restrictive eating, binge eating, or overly strict eating ‘rules’
Muscle and body dysmorphia or obsessive thoughts
Compensatory behaviours such as purging, over-exercising, diet pills, supplements, reliance on weight-loss injections (Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda), SARMs, and other performance-enhancing substances
Pressures from fitness culture, sports environments, and performance expectations
Constant measuring of weight or other body parts
The overlap of body image with masculinity, sexuality, and gender identity
Shame, stress, or anxiety connected to food, health, or appearance
Our approach makes space to explore the pressures that come from social ideals, community expectations, and cultural stereotypes about masculinity — while affirming each man’s unique relationship with his body and identity. This is a safe, non-judgmental space to be real about your experiences. Together, we can work toward reducing shame, building confidence, and reconnecting you with wellbeing in a way that feels grounded and authentic to you.
Liminal Screening & Assessment
Clarity and guidance for the path ahead.
Sometimes the first step is simply understanding what’s happening — having language, clarity, and a plan. We offer thoughtful, person-centred and neurodivergency affirming screening and assessments for ADHD, Autism, and combined Autism + ADHD (AuDHD). Our process provides insight, practical recommendations, and clear next steps to guide your care and wellbeing.
We believe that assessment is not just about ticking boxes or filling forms — it’s about understanding people in their full complexity. Whether you are seeking neurodivergence clarity, preparing for gender-affirming surgery, navigating recovery from victimisation or harm, or addressing men’s struggles with food and body image, our assessments are designed to be affirming, personalised, and genuinely useful.
-
First steps to better understanding your brain.
Sometimes it’s hard to know whether your experiences are part of ADHD, Autism, or something else. Neurospicy Screening is designed to give you some clarity, language, and a direction forward — without the pressure of committing to a full assessment straight away. Because there’s a lot of misinformation out there, we like to combine screening with education, and it helps for more accurate screening.
Screening can help you explore whether ADHD or Autism may be part of your story, and decide if a full assessment is the right next step.
What’s included in Neurospicy Screening:
Basic information about neurodivergency, myths and misconceptions.
Intake questionnaire about your background and history
30–60 minutes of online ADHD and Autism questionnaires (other tools may be included if co-occurring or less-common conditions are relevant)
Other tools if needed for co-occurring or less-common conditions
A 25-minute online discussion about results and next steps
A summary email you can forward to your GP or another health professional, including:
A summary of your results and recommendations
Referral guidance (e.g., psychiatrist for ADHD medication, psychologist or multidisciplinary clinic for NDIS applications)
Links to education, resources, and supports for your ongoing journey
✨ Note: Neurospicy Screening is included in all new therapy intakes at Liminal Clinic.
-
Neurodivergency-affirming diagnostic clarity for ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD.
Sometimes screening shows that a full assessment is the right next step. We provide thoughtful, person-centred assessments for ADHD, Autism, and combined Autism + ADHD (AuDHD). These assessments are designed to give you clarity, language, and practical recommendations for moving forward.
What’s included in a Neurospicy Assessment
A detailed intake interview exploring your history, strengths, and challenges
Validated ADHD and Autism assessment tools (with self-report and observer options if relevant)
Consideration of co-occurring conditions and differential diagnoses
Integration of screening results with assessment findings
A feedback session to discuss your results, ask questions, and plan next steps together
A choice of outcome based on needs and finances:
Basic letter/email – a short, focused summary confirming diagnostic outcomes and next steps (not suitable for NDIS applications)
Comprehensive report – a detailed written report including assessment results, interpretation, recommendations, and strategies for ongoing support (not suitable for NDIS applications)
Assessment timeframes
ADHD Assessments: 2 × 90-minute sessions + 1 × 50-minute feedback session
Autism Assessments: 2 × 90-minute sessions + 1 × 50-minute feedback session
AuDHD (ADHD + Autism) Assessments: 4 × 90-minute sessions + 1 × 50-minute feedback session
When an assessment may not be recommended
Not everyone benefits from a full diagnostic assessment. Sometimes it’s more important to focus on strategies and support rather than a formal diagnosis. We may recommend against assessment with us if:
Screening does not suggest a basis for ADHD or Autism assessment
A diagnostic label is unlikely to change your care or supports
Other pathways (e.g., medical, multidisciplinary, or specialist services) are more appropriate for your situation
When we may refer elsewhere
There are times when another professional is best placed to complete your assessment, for example:
If you are seeking stimulant medication for ADHD (psychiatrists only)
If you need an Autism diagnosis for NDIS (clinical psychologist or multidisciplinary team)
If complex co-occurring conditions are present, such as OCD, eating disorders, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, personality disorders, or learning disorders (psychiatrist).
✨ Note: Neurospicy Assessments at Liminal Clinic are about more than diagnosis. They’re about helping you understand yourself better, finding the right language for your experiences, and shaping practical recommendations that honour your whole story.
-
Gender-affirming care that supports your journey.
We provide readiness assessments and reports for gender-affirming surgery, aligned with the WPATH Standards of Care (Version 8). These reports — often called “WPATH letters” — are written with respect, clarity, and alignment to both international and Australian requirements.
Our process is person-centred and affirming, exploring your gender journey, goals, wellbeing, and supports. Most clients complete 3–6 sessions (first 90 minutes, then 60 minutes), though every assessment is tailored to your needs.
Assessments can be completed in-person or via telehealth. We also recommend checking with your surgeon to confirm they accept WPATH-aligned reports from registered psychologists, as preferences can vary.
You and your surgeon will receive a letter / report that is not only aligned with WPATH standards but also supports your care and next steps with confidence.

Need a Referral?
We know the first few steps can be the hardest — we’re here to make them easier.
Our printable guide helps you prepare for your GP appointment and shows them exactly how to set up a Mental Health Treatment Plan or an Eating Disorder Treatment and Management Plan. It also explains how to refer you to The Liminal Clinic and how Medicare rebates work.
Bring it along so you can focus on your wellbeing and your goals — not the paperwork.
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.
The Five Steps to Working With Us
Starting your Liminal journey
-
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.
The Liminal Model: A 5-Phase Journey
Counselling isn’t linear — but structure can help when life feels uncertain.
At Liminal Clinic, our model of care follows five broad phases, giving you a map to navigate healing while honouring your unique pace. We are a medium- to long-term service, and every journey is individual.
The Liminal Model is more than a sequence — it’s a flexible framework that honours the complexity of healing. Some phases may take longer, others may loop back, and that’s okay. What matters is that your journey is supported with structure, compassion, and respect for your pace.
Things we help with
At Liminal Clinic, we support adults (18+) across diverse experiences, identities, and challenges for a wide range of mental health, neurodevelopmental, wellbeing, and identity-related conditions and experiences.
