About Us
Person-centred therapy, helping you reconnect to your humanness.
How we started…
Casey, a single mother of two girls and two pooches, founded Reeve Psychology in October 2020, as a way to manage her own work-life balance and grow her passion for normalising mental health adversity in individuals. Casey began work as a School Psychologist in early 2013, working in various high schools across the South Metro area. Casey's warm, bubbly, and charismatic nature saw her quickly and easily connect with staff, students, and families on a deep level. Her role as a School Psychologist was spread across organisational duties (policy and procedure writing); individual and family counselling; inter-agency meetings; running workshops and group therapy; and delivering professional development to staff. Whilst enjoying the diversity of her role, Casey got the most joy from fostering connections with young people and families, and being able to create a safe space for them to open up and explore their inner thoughts and feelings.
In mid-2020, after suffering significant burn-out juggling two young girls and a fast-paced career, Casey left the Department of Education and began her role at Headspace as a Private Psychologist. It was in this role the vision for her private practice truly came to life, being born shortly after. Reeve Psychology is passionate about making clients feel safe, heard, and supported while exploring their own unique (and often uncomfortable) experiences of life. Clients are encouraged to leave their guilt, fear, and self-judgments behind, in order to navigate what is best for them moving forward. As a client, you can expect to feel heard, validated, safe, and supported, while being guided into reconnecting with what it means to be you. There is no emotion too scary, no thought too crazy, and no experience too "stupid" at Reeve Psychology. Life truly is hard, but we believe any and all experiences in life is what makes us human. Let us help you navigate the ups and downs of life with more ease, less physical and psychological overwhelm, and get you feeling safe in your own body again.

FAQs
How do you access a Psychologist?
The first (and often scariest) step is seeing your GP for a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) and referral to a Psychologist. Once you have this, you can ask your GP for recommendations or google Psychologists in your area and do some self-guided research. Then make the call!
What is a Mental Health Treatment Plan?
When you book in to see your GP, ensure you book in specifically for a MHTP appointment as these are billed differently to a standard appointment (more info over on our instagram). A MHTP is a brief document about your current mental health that is provided to a Psychologist to give them a snapshot and some baseline data. While you do not need a MHTP and referral to see a Psychologist, it does give you access to a rebate via Medicare for 10 sessions per calendar year.
How often should I book in to see my Psychologist?
This is entirely up to you as the client. For someone starting therapy for the very first time, we would suggest fortnightly for at least a few sessions. This allows you to build rapport with your Psychologist and gain traction with your therapy. You can then start stretching your appointments to every 3-4 weeks, once you feel you are making progress.
