Evidence-based therapy that’s focused on change for professionals navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, and the pressures of life – with evening appointments available.
Work, kids, relationships, health – there’s a lot going on in your life at any moment. Cadence Psychology is here to provide the practical skills that can help you overcome the hurdles in life that make living your best life that little bit harder.
Our Clinical Psychologists treat adults aged 18 years and above with customised, transparent treatment plans designed to create change that matters to you.
Our practice is conveniently located in the heart of North Sydney on Sydney’s North Shore, just minutes from Chatswood, St Leonards, Crows Nest, and surrounding suburbs like Kirribilli and Milsons Point. We’re also a short drive from the North Sydney CBD — ideal for professionals looking for weekday appointments close to work or home.
We understand that many of our clients are juggling multiple roles — as parents, partners, professionals, and carers — and come to therapy looking for clarity, steadiness, and practical tools that actually fit their busy lives. As your dedicated North Sydney psychologist, we’re here to provide that support.
We believe the best therapy is a collaborative process that empowers you with skills for the long term. Instead of focusing solely on symptoms, our approach helps you understand the deeper patterns at play. We focus on evidence-based treatments including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy.
We often draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a unique approach that helps you build a rich and meaningful life even when facing difficult thoughts and feelings. It’s about building resilience and living in the present moment, rather than just eliminating unwanted symptoms.
Many people aren’t aware of the difference between a Registered and a Clinical Psychologist. A Clinical Psychologist has completed additional, specialized training—generally a Masters or Doctorate—which provides a deeper understanding of complex mental health conditions and the most effective, evidence-based treatments. This extra training ensures we provide the highest standard of care, offering you the best chance for meaningful, long-lasting change.

We understand that seeing a psychologist for the first time can feel daunting. Here’s a clear overview of the process so there are no surprises.
We like to keep things easy. You can either book direct online with no wait, or if you’d prefer to talk with us first you can book in a time for a quick intake call. We’ll then send out a welcome pack so you’ve got everything you need
Many clients choose to get a Mental Health Treatment Plan from their GP after booking a session. This allows you to get a Medicare rebate off the cost of up to 10 sessions per year.
At your first face-to-face session, your psychologist will conduct an initial assessment. This is a time for the two of you to create a shared understanding of whatever you’re stuck on at present.
From there, you and your psychologist will determine a clear, collaborative plan to achieve your practical goals using a range of evidence-based psychological techniques and strategies.
Our North Sydney office is conveniently located at Suite 107/283 Alfred St N, North Sydney NSW 2060, just a short walk from the train station. The office is ideal for busy professionals in the North Sydney CBD and those commuting from surrounding suburbs.
Location shouldn’t get in the way of your well-being. We provide both face-to-face and secure telehealth session options so that you can choose the format that works best for you. Our psychologists are fully trained to provide the most up-to-date, evidence-based treatments in either format.
Cadence Psychology’s Clinical Psychologist’s charge $260 per 50-minute session ($280 for sessions after 5pm). This is significantly less than the Australian Psychological Society’s recommended rate of $318 per session.
If you have a Mental Health Care Plan from your Doctor, you can obtain up to 10 sessions per year with a Medicare rebate of up to $149.05. We also provide HICAPS payments for those clients who wish to use their private health insurance.
