Your mind matters — and help is here.
Struggling doesn’t make you weak. Asking for support? That’s strength.

At Forbes Clinical Services, we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate, professional mental health care. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk to, our psychology services are here for you.

No shame. No judgment. Just support that meets you where you are.
It’s okay to not be okay — and it’s more than okay to get help.

Reach out today. You don’t have to do this alone.

Q: “Is it weird to see a psychologist if I’m not in a full-blown crisis?”
A: Not weird at all. You don’t need to be falling apart to ask for support. Therapy is for navigating all kinds of life stuff — stress, relationships, anxiety, big decisions, or just needing someone to talk to who gets it.

Q: “What if I don’t know where to start?”
A: Totally normal. That’s what we’re here for. Our team can walk you through the process step by step — no pressure, no judgment.

Q: “Is it confidential?”
A: Yep. 100%. Your privacy is protected, always.

Q: “Can I afford it?”
A: We get it — cost can be a barrier. That’s why we offer flexible options and can help you explore what’s available through insurance, NDIS, or Medicare.

Your mental health matters. Let’s talk.
