It's accessible for anyone with or without a referral.
Clinic Director, Dr Sean Halpin, stressed the importance of prioritising mental health, which can often fall to the wayside for those leading busy lives.
“As a clinical psychologist, I fully understand the stigma that comes with seeking psychological help, as well as the barrier many can face financially.
“The Ourimbah Clinic is a casual, accessible space open to all the community. With individual sessions starting at $15, I urge everyone to start taking their mental health seriously,” he said.
The Ourimbah Psychology Clinic will initially open on Mondays and Tuesdays. More information, including appointment details and session costs can be found here.
