Who we work with
You don’t have to choose between success and mental health.
Mind Stretch Psychology specializes in therapy for high-achieving professionals who look “together” on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, depleted, or like a fraud on the inside.
Common clients include startup founders, tech leaders, consultants, lawyers, finance professionals, physicians, academics, and ambitious creatives working in high-pressure environments.
- You’re successful on paper but feel constantly behind.
- You overthink every decision and struggle to switch off.
- You worry your success is luck and you’ll be “found out”.
- You’ve tried self-help, podcasts, and productivity hacks—but the anxiety stays.
After working together, clients often report:
- Noticeably lower day-to-day stress and reactivity
- More grounded confidence and less imposter syndrome
- Clearer boundaries with work, email, and devices
- Greater focus, productivity, and quality of rest
74%
of high performers report lower stress after 8–12 focused sessions.

About Mind Stretch Psychology
Therapy that understands the realities of high-pressure careers.
Mind Stretch Psychology was created to support people who are used to being the ones others rely on—the leaders, problem-solvers, and high performers who rarely have a space to be fully honest about how they’re doing.
Sessions are collaborative, structured, and oriented toward the outcomes you care about: feeling calmer, thinking more clearly, and showing up as the kind of leader, partner, and human you want to be.
- Registered psychologist with experience in clinical and organisational settings
- Specialised training in CBT, ACT, and performance psychology
- Extensive experience with founders, executives, and professionals in law, tech, finance, and healthcare
We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, while still gently stretching you toward the changes you’re seeking.

FAQ
Questions high-achieving clients often ask
If you don’t see your question here, you’re welcome to ask it during the free 15-minute consultation.
Is this therapy or coaching?
Mind Stretch Psychology provides therapy delivered by a registered psychologist, which can include elements that feel similar to coaching (such as practical strategies and accountability). We’ll clarify your needs and whether therapy, coaching, or another service is the best fit during the free 15-minute consultation.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. Many high-achieving professionals prefer virtual sessions for flexibility and privacy. We offer secure video sessions for clients located in eligible regions. We’ll confirm your location and options during your consultation.
How often do we meet, and for how long?
Most clients start with weekly sessions for the first 4–6 weeks and then shift to bi-weekly as things stabilise. A standard session is 50 minutes. The total duration of work together varies, but many high-achieving clients notice meaningful shifts within 8–12 sessions.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is a priority. As a registered psychologist, there are clear ethical and legal standards that protect your confidentiality, with a few specific exceptions related to safety and legal requirements. We’ll walk through these in clear, accessible language before we begin.
I’m worried I’m “not struggling enough” for therapy. Should I still reach out?
Absolutely. Many high-achieving clients minimise their struggles because they’re still functioning at a high level. Therapy can be helpful long before things reach a crisis point. The free 15-minute consultation is a safe place to explore whether now is the right time.
