At Solar Psychotherapy, we believe that everyone has the capacity to live well and experience joy in the everyday.
Sometimes that feels impossibly far away. Maybe it's anxiety that won't quieten down, a disconnect from yourself and others that keeps growing even though you want something different, a season of change that's been harder to adjust to than you expected, or simply a feeling that the life you're living doesn't quite look like the one you'd pictured for yourself.
You know your own life better than anyone. We bring curiosity, care and evidence-based practice, and a space where real, lasting change becomes possible.
At Solar Psychotherapy, we know that life get's busy. Virtual sessions mean that you can work therapy around your schedule, not the other way around.
Emily O'Keeffe MPsychC - Registered Clinical Psychotherapist & Counsellor, PACFA
Beginning or returning to therapy can be a daunting experience, whether it's for yourself or a loved one. This is something I understand both as a clinician, and as a person who's been there. I believe you're the expert on your own life, and my job is to make figuring things out feel like something we're doing together, in a way that actually fits you.
I started my journey as a practitioner supporting young people in educational settings through everyday stress, complex trauma, grief, and crisis, and that foundation shapes how I work today. Whether you're navigating change, transition or growing pains as a young person, or finding it resurfacing in new ways as an adult, I know having someone in your corner can make a massive difference.
Person-centred and relational at its core, my practice draws on approaches such as:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
mindfulness, and solution-focused therapies such as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
At Solar Psychotherapy, we believe that high quality, consistent care should be available to everyone. We promise transparent pricing, that doesn't rely on limited rebates.
At Solar we keep things simple, and that includes transparent, uncomplicated pricing.
Our services include:
A free 15 minute consult, to gauge if this is the service for you.
$150 initial session
$130 per session for continuing clients
And a special offer for parents, with the option for 15 minutes to talk following your adolescent's appointment at no extra cost. This may be about supporting your young person, or just be for you.
No hidden fees, and no referral needed.
Supporting a teenager can feel like standing on the outside of a very chaotic and sometimes messy room, with a "Get Out" sign hung on the door. All the while, you're holding varying levels of love, stress, and worry, and an armful of cleaning supplies to boot.
Because of this, we offer a complimentary 15 minutes for parents alongside your teen's work, which can be used in one of two ways.
With your teen's knowledge and agreement, we can use that time to share skills or themes from the session, creating continuity and understanding at home. Or, this time can simply be a space for you, to put down what you're carrying as a parent and breathe for a moment.
Availability
We understand that life is busy. Appointments are available early morning, after hours, and on weekends. That way, support fits around your schedule, and not the other way around.
Confidentiality
Your privacy and trust matters to us. At Solar, we guarantee practitioner-client confidentiality in line with professional guidelines and ethical standards.

Our approach is multi-modal and client led. Grounded in person-centred values and supported by evidence based therapies, sessions are shaped by what feels most helpful to you.
