Psychology that meets you where you are.
A boutique psychology practice in North Queensland offering couples therapy, NDIS supports, schema therapy and comprehensive assessment — delivered by registered psychologists who measure success in lives changed, not sessions billed.
We started Breakfree because the model of weekly sessions in austere rooms wasn’t working for the couples and families we cared about.
Our work is grounded in evidence — Gottman Method couples therapy, Schema Therapy, ACT, CBT — but we hold method lightly. What changes lives is the working relationship, the courage to look at hard things, and the small repairs that compound over weeks and months.
We are a registered NDIS provider. We see children, adolescents, adults and couples. We assess, we treat, we write reports people can actually use, and we explain it all in plain language.
Eight focused services. One coordinated team.

Read moreEvidence-based, warmly delivered, fully coordinated.
Evidence-based by default
We choose modalities — Gottman, Schema Therapy, ACT, CBT — that have decades of outcome research behind them. We explain why we are using what we are using.
Warm, plain-language clinicians
Psychology should not feel like a vocabulary test. Our clinicians explain assessment scores, treatment plans and NDIS supports in language that helps you act on what you've learned.
One coordinated team
Therapy, assessment and behaviour support sit under one roof. Reports are written for the people who need them, and information moves between clinicians — with your permission — so nothing is duplicated.
Registered psychologists, behaviour-support practitioners and an NDIS coordinator who answers the phone.
Our team brings together cognitive assessment specialists, Gottman-trained couples clinicians, schema therapists, and NDIS behaviour-support practitioners. We hire slowly. We supervise closely. And we keep our caseloads small enough that you actually see the same clinician each session.
