Six reasons to work with Breakfree.

Evidence-based, not eclectic-shaped

We use modalities — Gottman Method, Schema Therapy, ACT, CBT, EMDR — with decades of outcome research behind them. Where we draw from multiple traditions, we do it with intent, not because the room feels stuck.

Therapy, assessment and behaviour support under one roof

Most Townsville psychology practices specialise narrowly. Our integrated model means a child can be assessed and treated by the same team, an NDIS plan can be supported by therapy and behaviour-support together, and information moves between clinicians with your consent.

A small team, senior clinicians

We are deliberately a small practice. That keeps caseloads small, ensures you see the same clinician each session, and lets our team supervise each other closely. Quality follows from this in a way it can't in larger volume-driven practices.

Reports written for the people who need them

An assessment report is only useful if its recommendations can be acted on. We write in plain language for the people who actually need them — parents, teachers, NDIS planners, employers — and we provide a feedback session so you can ask anything before walking away with the document.

Marathon couples work — not many practices offer it

We are one of few practices in North Queensland offering Gottman-Method marathon intensives — two to three days of focused couples work that compresses months of progress. The format is particularly suited to regional couples, time-poor couples, and couples in crisis.

NDIS-registered, plain-language NDIS

We are a registered NDIS provider, accept plan-managed and self-managed participants, and have a coordinator whose specific job is making the NDIS feel less opaque. We explain what each line item means and what it can fund.
