Meet our therapists

Below you can meet all the therapists available at South Sydney PTS. If you’d like to make an appointment, simply:

1) Choose a Therapist who’s interests and availability suit you.

2) Call, SMS or email your chosen therapist. If you don’t feel comfortable leaving a phone message, you can always send an SMS, which the Therapist may be able to respond to more quickly.

3) Wait for the Therapist to call or email you back with their first available appointment. If they don’t have any availability at a time that suits you, they will do their best to find someone who does, and who suits your needs.
