Mental health matters

Caring for your mind is an act of strength – it helps you show up for life with clarity, purpose, and peace

About Sally Scott Psychology

With twenty years of experience as a psychologist, I have dedicated my career to helping people overcome challenges, build resilience, and find greater balance in their lives. I provide a compassionate and professional space where clients can explore their concerns and work toward meaningful change.

My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, tailored to suit each person’s individual needs. Over the years, I have supported a wide range of clients, including defence personnel, veterans, and civilians experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, psychiatric illness, and work-related stress.

At the heart of my practice is a belief that everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and rediscover purpose — sometimes, it just takes the right support and understanding to get there.

Services offered

At Sally Scott Psychology, I offer individual therapy sessions to help with a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Depression and low mood

  • Anxiety, panic, and stress

  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD)

  • Religious and spiritual trauma

  • Drug and alcohol problems

  • Adjustment and life changes

  • Improving communication skills

  • Assertiveness skills training

  • Work-related stress and burnout

  • Relationship and interpersonal difficulties

  • Defence and veteran mental health support

Therapy is always tailored to your individual needs, drawing on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed therapies and practices.

In-person and telehealth appointments

I provide therapy for adults who are looking for support with life’s challenges — whether that means managing stress and anxiety, working through trauma, coping with change, or finding new ways to improve wellbeing and balance. My aim is to create a calm and supportive space where you can explore what has been happening and work toward lasting change.

Appointments are available both in-person and via secure Telehealth, providing flexibility and accessibility for all clients.

Therapy

Therapy at Sally Scott Psychology takes place in a comfortable, calm, and confidential setting, designed to help you feel safe and at ease while we work together on the issues that matter most to you. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or other life challenges, each session is focused on understanding your experiences and finding practical, evidence-based ways to create positive change.

The process

Your first appointment will be an initial intake session, where we will take time to discuss your background, current concerns, and what you hope to achieve from therapy. Depending on the complexity of your situation, this intake process may take one or two sessions. This helps ensure that your treatment is well-tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Session length

  • Standard therapy sessions run for 50 minutes.

  • Extended sessions (90 minutes) are available when more time is needed for complex or intensive work.

I offer therapy that is collaborative, respectful, and paced to suit you. My role is to provide professional guidance and support while helping you develop the tools and understanding needed to move forward with confidence.
