The people at Good Therapy

Often asked to recommend a suitable practitioner, it puzzled me that meaningful information relevant to choosing a therapist was not readily available to the Australian general public. The benefits of such a resource were compelling, and in December 2003, fate and frustration spurred me into action: The first step was to create an accessible Directory where Australians could select from a range of search criteria and browse the profiles of accredited counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists.

Launched on 15 September 2004, Goodtherapy.com.au was met with enthusiastic support from mental health professionals and the wider community. On 27 September 2005, Good Therapy Australia was incorporated as a not-for-profit organisation and registered as a national health promotion charity.

Today, Good Therapy continues to move forward – one small step at a time – towards a healthier and happier future. Thank you to all who, in the spirit of care and collaboration, help to make Good Therapy an evolving reality.
