About Homeplace Psychology

“A homeplace is a site of resistance, healing, and liberation” — bell hooks

Homeplace Psychology is a small, growing, affirming private practice grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a place to feel safe, seen, and welcome.

The practice works predominantly with marginalised communities, including LGBTIQAP+ and neurodivergent people, people who have experienced trauma, people living with chronic illness and/or disability, and people with diverse identities, relationships, sexualities, and ways of being.

With a particular focus on mental health and sexual wellbeing, Homeplace Psychology is intentionally small, relational, and values driven. Strength of character, curiosity, and commitment to social justice are valued alongside clinical skill. Caseloads are intentionally sustainable, and supervision, reflective practice, and the development of professional identity are prioritised. We believe excellent clinical work is best supported by workplaces that value clinicians as people, not simply as providers of services.

Homeplace Psychology is queer- and neurodivergent-led and works alongside the broader Trans Space team in Brunswick.
