Psychology, Counselling & Occupational Therapy in South Brisbane
A warm, neuroaffirming allied health practice supporting children, teens, adults, and families to feel safe, understood, and capable.
Welcome to Capability Psychology, where compassionate care meets professional expertise. all in a purpose-built space designed to feel calm, welcoming, and inclusive.
We’ve recently expanded into a beautiful 8-room clinic in South Brisbane, featuring natural light, sensory-friendly spaces, and a unique nature-based therapy garden. Here, therapy feels less clinical and more connected, especially for our younger clients who thrive in movement-rich, hands-on environments.
Our multidisciplinary team offers:
- Psychology and counselling for children, adolescents, adults and families
- Occupational therapy for children and adults — hands-on, movement-based therapy for kids, and tailored support for adults seeking help with sensory regulation, executive functioning, and daily life participation.
- And from 2026, Speech Pathology services will also be available
Whether you’re seeking support for neurodiversity, anxiety, emotional regulation, developmental delays or simply a space to feel understood. We’re here with clarity, compassion, and evidence-informed care.
At Capability, every client is welcomed exactly as they are and supported to grow into who they’re becoming.

Our occupational therapists support both children and adults to build practical skills, independence, and wellbeing in daily life.

Therapy, Outdoors, and In-Tune
At Capability Psychology, we offer more than just rooms with natural light; we also provide a nature-based therapy garden designed for sensory regulation, play, and connection.
This outdoor space supports:
- Emotional grounding and sensory integration
- Movement-based therapy for kids who benefit from play and body-based engagement
- A gentle, safe space for children and adolescents who may feel overwhelmed indoors
Whether part of occupational therapy or a calming pre-session transition, our garden is a key part of how we create truly neuroaffirming experiences.
A Calm, Purpose-Built Therapy Space
Our beautiful South Brisbane clinic features eight light-filled therapy rooms, sensory-aware designs, and a nature-based therapy garden, perfect for outdoor play-based sessions or gentle emotional regulation activities. We believe therapy environments should be just as therapeutic as the therapy itself.
