Life Can Be Hard
Change is Possible

Therapy can help

BEACON Psychology is located in Perth’s northern coastal suburb of Ocean Reef. Our psychologists use personalised, effective, evidence-based therapy tailored to individual needs and experiences. Psychological therapy can support you through difficult times and help you take steps towards change. Our therapists offer a warm, supportive approach in a safe, non-judgemental space.

Our Approach

We all face difficult times and cope with the support of people around us. When stresses are unrelenting or prolonged or in the absence of adequate support our coping mechanisms can break down. Therapy can help build the capacity to cope.

Looking for help can be daunting. Change can be difficult. When worried, anxious or depressed change can be harder still. Therapy helps build the capacity to adjust to life’s challenges and strenghten relationships.
