Also known as Polaris, The Northern Star has shone brightly for thousands of years to help those trying to find their way. To support you and reassure you through the journey of life. To light the way through the unknown: past, present and future. Our Mission
Northern Star Psychology Collective was founded with the aim of reducing the systemic issues associated with large organisations. We wanted to develop a safe and relational agency that serves as a foundation for the professional development of our clinicians in support of their clients. This structure allows us to focus purely on providing quality, evidence-based client care and therapeutic services to those in need. We aim to support our clients through genuine therapeutic connections in a real and authentic way. Introducing registered psychologist Taryn Hayhurst
Taryn has provided therapeutic services to people with varying mental health struggles for over 5 years across the Central Coast, Hunter and Sydney regions. Taryn is particularly interested in working with adolescents and early adulthood. She is a neurodivergent-affirming clinician available to support ages 7+ through anxiety, depression, interpersonal skills, and much more. Taryn is our self-professed geekhead with a love for all things pop culture, especially Disney and video games. You'll find her curled up with a good book or trying her hand at a new creative venture in her leisure time. Taryn is available for appointments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9:30am and 3:30pm. Introducing registered psychologist Michelle Langworthy.
