About Us
Discovery Family Therapy is a family-focused counselling and therapy service in South Perth and online across Australia. We are a team, not a single therapist, so a whole family can be supported by different practitioners who talk to each other. You are matched with the person who fits, and held by the team around them.
We support children, teens, adults, couples and families, often more than one at a time, so no one carries it on their own.
People do their best healing when they feel safe. We move at your pace, without judgement, fear or pressure.
Not a diagnosis or something to solve. We start with your story and what matters most to you right now.
Five counsellors with different specialties, one connected team. Choose the person who feels right, and move within the team as your family’s needs change.

When more than one person in a family needs support, we can coordinate across practitioners, so your family isn’t repeating its story or falling between services.
The relationship matters most. We help you find the practitioner who feels right, and you can move within the team, or add support, as things change.
