Care

Feel seen, heard and valued.

All services

Children

Play, patience, and a room that feels safe.

Play therapy helps children express feelings through their natural language, build relationships and practise empathy. Support can include separation, grief, moving home and starting school. Teen therapy can address friendships, bullying, self-esteem, HSC anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction and behavioural difficulties. Parent consultation helps families build connection and give children consistent messages. Clinicians also offer Cool Kids anxiety work and parent-inclusive assessment.

Individuals

A space to examine a life, without performance.

A joint process between you and a trained mental-health professional, in a safe, caring and confidential environment. Individual therapy can help with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, burnout, grief, break-ups, anger, emotional eating, sleep and personal growth. Through self-awareness and exploration, therapy can help you build resilience, find purpose and manage emotions. Sessions are 50 minutes, typically weekly or fortnightly.

Couples

Two people, one conversation that has been waiting.

Relationship, couple and marriage counselling supports emotional disconnection, intimacy difficulties, loss of desire, affairs, recurring conflict and feeling unappreciated. Our relationship counsellors have specific training in relationships and intimacy. Work helps partners communicate, repair hurt and develop understanding and empathy, drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman and relational intimacy practice. Couples are usually seen together first, with individual sessions where appropriate. Where abuse or coercive control is present, safety-focused individual support may be more appropriate than couples sessions.

Families

The system around the person matters.

Parenting, attachment, intergenerational patterns, and family therapy. Where it helps, we include teachers, GPs, and other professionals — with your consent.

Our story

A Family Focus, founded as a family practice.

Bilibio Psychology Clinic grew from a small room in South Sydney in 2007 to a multidisciplinary practice of more than twenty-seven therapists. It is named in memory of the founder’s father, and built on the philosophy he lived by: care, love and respectful affection.

Bilibio comes from the Latin bilibium — lips. The name was first given in an ancient Roman family for a distinctive mouth; we keep it because therapy is, at heart, communication: the expression of thought and feeling.

How we work

Own your story. Accept your vulnerabilities. Embrace yourself.

The relationship comes first

We are committed to a respectful, professional, and strong client–therapist relationship. Matching the right person is one of the most important factors in whether therapy works.

Evidence, without rigidity

Clinical work is founded on efficacious, up-to-date interventions that meet best-practice criteria where possible — and adapted to the person in the room.

Collaborative and transparent

We work with you, not on you. Treatment plans are discussed openly, and you remain the authority on your own life.

Everyone is welcome

Services are respectful of beliefs, culture and heritage, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, and each person’s growth process. Our programs are for everyone.

Approaches

Rarely only one kind of conversation.

Psychodynamic

Increases awareness of unconscious internal reality, and how historical and developmental influences shape what is happening now.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

A focused approach based on the idea that cognitions influence feelings and behaviours. Unhelpful patterns are identified and replaced with more workable ones.

Interpersonal Therapy

Time-limited work that focuses on the interpersonal context, expectations in relationships, and building communication skills.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

Short-term and goal-focused. The question is not only what is wrong, but how things will be when they are better — and what it will take.
