Psychotherapy & Counselling in Sydney
A holistic approach to women’s healthcare includes mental health
At Papaya Clinic, we’re by your side throughout every life stage – from pregnancy to postpartum to perimenopause and menopause. That’s why we take a holistic approach to women’s healthcare and offer a range of services to improve your health and wellbeing, including counselling and psychotherapy specially for women.
What does a psychotherapist do?
A psychotherapist is a trained professional who uses talk therapy to help individuals navigate life’s challenges and transitions. Psychotherapists provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth, allowing you to identify and overcome the issues you are currently facing in your life.
Counselling & psychotherapy for women
Our psychotherapy and counselling services are dedicated to supporting women through various stages of life. We understand the unique challenges women face and provide a safe, nurturing environment where they can explore their thoughts and emotions. Our approach is tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring personalised care that empowers women to achieve mental and emotional well-being.
Whilst we help women through all life stages, our psychotherapist, Ruth, has a passion for helping women transition into menopause.
With the transition into menopause, women are likely to experience significant physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual shifts. Ruth specialises in providing compassionate support to help you navigate this transformative period with resilience and grace. Her practice is dedicated to filling the gap in therapeutic resources available to women going through menopause and provides a safe and nurturing space to explore every aspect of their menopausal experience.
We take a comprehensive and personalised approach to your care, and will collaborate with our other team members if appropriate for your condition.
