About

Our Story

Breakfree Psychology Services is a family-run practice born from a simple observation: our vibrant Townsville and North Queensland community has so much to offer, but families often struggle to find specialised, high-level mental health and disability care close to home.

We founded Breakfree to fill those gaps. Our mission is to provide local, compassionate, and deeply professional guidance that helps our community flourish, not just manage symptoms, but truly break free from the patterns holding them back.

Our Therapeutic Approach

We don't believe in surface-level fixes or rigid, one-size-fits-all therapy. We have a deep passion for evidence-based approaches that get straight to the heart of the issue, providing deep self-understanding alongside clear, practical strategies for lasting change.

To bring the highest level of care to the North, our team has intentionally pursued advanced, specialised training in some of the world's most respected therapeutic methods:

For Couples: We bring the globally recognised Gottman Method to North Queensland, offering a research-backed framework to help partners transform conflict into deep connection.

For Individuals: We use Schema Therapy to help adults uncover the root causes of lifelong emotional pain, alongside cognitive therapies such as CBT and ACT for meaningful everyday support.

For Families & NDIS Participants: We believe in neuroaffirming, respectful care. Whether supporting a child through developmental transitions, conducting diagnostic assessments, or building NDIS positive behaviour plans, our focus is always on building daily living skills and reducing stress for the whole family.

At the core of our practice is a genuine love for our local community. We believe a therapy session should be a safe, welcoming space where real transformation begins from day one.
