Mental Health Care Made Easy
At Nurtured Thoughts, we believe accessing good mental health care shouldn't be hard.
Our service was founded by a local GP who saw how difficult it was for patients to find high-quality mental health support. So we built a place where psychiatry, ADHD care, psychology and counselling sit side by side, and where the team genuinely works together.
Our Brisbane clinic is a calm, homely space designed to make you feel welcome and at ease. For those who aren’t attending in person, our telehealth service brings the same experience to you, wherever you are in Australia.

Common Questions
You can book directly with us for most of our services. However, in some cases, having a GP referral and/or Mental Health Treatment Plan may reduce your out of pocket costs. Please Contact Us if you have any questions about whether you need a referral.
Our clinic is based in Brisbane, but we see patients across Australia via telehealth. Any prescriptions you receive from our doctors will be valid at your local pharmacy.
Most new patients are seen within 1 week. Wait times vary slightly by service and clinician, but prompt access is one of the things we pride ourselves on.
Fees vary by service. You will usually receive a Medicare rebate for Psychology and Psychiatry sessions that covers part of the cost of treatment. Assessments are privately billed, with interest-free payment plans available. You can find a full breakdown on our fees page and our staff are happy to answer any questions.
We see adolescents from 15+ and adults of all ages for therapy, psychiatry and ADHD care. Some of our assessment and psychology services are available to children from age 5.
