Humane Clinic Psychotherapy Collective provides psychotherapy and other services to individuals, families and organisations as they navigate the experience of being human.

Humane Clinic Psychotherapy Collective recognises that a person’s expression of distress, in whatever form it takes, is a function of communicating their needs. We consider each human being as the person best placed to be the arbiter of their own experiences, the author of their own story, and the leader of their own life journey. We seek to acknowledge your experiences, hear your story, and respect your autonomy.

Why

To offer a different approach to human distress and emotional suffering based in ethical practice and human relationship.

To allow people to exercise more autonomy and choice in seeking assistance that they define as valuable – to the building understanding in relation to their life experiences and their responses to those experiences.

To listen in relationship until something else in life changes.

To offer deep respect, compassion, and love for the intellect of a human being in distress.

To offer a different paradigm that does not define human emotions and responses as an abnormality or illness.
