We regularly support patients where symptoms are multifactorial and intersect with occupational stress, caregiving demands, neurodivergence, and life stage pressures.

How We Work

At State of Being, we take a collaborative, evidence-based approach to psychological care. Our work is grounded in creating a calm, non-judgemental space where clients feel safe to slow down, reflect, and better understand themselves.

We tailor therapy to the individual, taking into account nervous system capacity, neurodivergence, life stage, and current stressors. Sessions are practical and reflective, with a focus on building insight, emotional regulation, and sustainable change rather than symptom suppression alone.

Where appropriate, we work alongside GPs, psychiatrists, and other allied health professionals to support coordinated care.

Therapeutic Approach

Our clinicians draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Internal Family Systems informed therapy (parts-based work) Schema therapy Trauma-informed and nervous system-aware approaches Neuro-affirming support for ADHD and autism (including high-masking presentations)

Treatment plans are adapted over time in response to the client’s goals, presentation, and progress, with an emphasis on safety, collaboration, and long-term wellbeing.
