Feeling overwhelmed right now? There is a quiet place for you to take a moment.
Online clinical psychology for burnout, anxiety and relational trauma
You're good at your life. You're capable, reliable, and the person everyone leans on. And you're exhausted in a way that rest hasn't touched.
Spoken Word Psychology is an online clinical psychology practice for adults across Australia. Many of our clients are capable, responsible people, often the one everyone relies on, who have spent years looking fine on the outside while carrying a great deal on the inside.
Does this sound familiar?
If you recognised yourself in even one of these, you’re in the right place.
You say "I'm fine" so automatically that you've stopped noticing it isn't true.
01
You're hard on yourself in ways you'd never be with anyone else.
02
You're always "on", and stopping to rest brings guilt rather than relief.
03
You've never told anyone some of what you carry, because you're afraid of what they'd think of you.
04
You understand your patterns perfectly well, but understanding hasn't changed them
05
Your childhood "wasn't that bad", yet something from it still shapes how you see yourself and other people.
06
You've spent years masking and overcompensating, and you're exhausted from keeping it up.
07
“Shame derives its power from being unspeakable.”

Daring Greatly
There is very little a psychologist here hasn't heard, and nothing you can say will make them think less of you.
Shame tends to grow in secrecy. Saying it, at your own pace, to someone who listens without judgment, is often where things begin to shift. We’re human too, and we understand how complicated life can be. You don't need to have it figured out. You can cry, go quiet, or speak in half sentences. You decide what we talk about and when.
You don’t have to perform here.
No pressure. Our admin team will call you first, then you decide.
How we can help
01
Burnout, perfectionism and the inner critic.
When achieving has become the only way you feel okay, and slowing down feels unsafe.
02
Anxiety and always being on guard.
When your mind and body can't switch off, and reassurance never lasts.
03
Relational and childhood trauma.
Not only the big, obvious events. Also the quiet ones: being unseen, criticised, or left to cope alone.
How therapy works here
We take an integrative approach. Therapy here starts with understanding you. From there, your psychologist draws on evidence-based approaches such as Schema Therapy and EMDR.
Therapy that fits into a full life
It's hard to find time to do something for yourself, especially when you spend most of your day looking after everyone else. Online therapy takes away some of the obstacles.
No travel.
No commute, parking or time in traffic. A 50-minute session takes about 50 minutes of your day.
Easier to fit in.
Around work, children, or a lunch break, wherever you can find a quiet spot.
Somewhere you feel comfortable.
Many people find it easier to talk openly from a space that feels like their own.
Wherever you are.
Anywhere in Australia. Distance doesn't decide who you can see.
Online therapy isn't right for everyone. If it isn't right for you, we'll tell you, and help you find what is.
Getting started is simple
Book an initial consultation.
Choose a time that suits you.
Get a GP referral (optional).
If you’re eligible and would like a Medicare rebate, visit your GP for a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP). Prefer to go private? No referral is needed. Just book your first session.
Meet your psychologist
By video, from wherever feels comfortable. The first session is for you to share what's been going on and to check whether we're a good fit. There's no pressure to say everything at once.
You don’t have to hold it all on your own
It starts with a conversation, and we take it from there together.
