Psychologist in New Farm, Brisbane

Axis Within Psychology provides evidence-based psychological therapy and assessment in New Farm, Brisbane. Led by Registered Psychologist, Anna Kelm, we support women navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD-related challenges, emotional overwhelm, executive functioning difficulties, perimenopause and major life transitions.

Many women seeking support appear capable and composed on the outside while privately feeling exhausted by the pressure of balancing careers, relationships, family responsibilities and the mental load of everyday life.

Therapy provides an opportunity to better understand what may be contributing to these difficulties and develop practical strategies tailored to your needs, strengths and circumstances.

In-person appointments are available at New Farm Wellness Centre on James Street, New Farm, Brisbane, with secure telehealth appointments also offered Australia-wide.
