About The Mind Room

The Mind Room is a leading mental health, wellbeing, and performance psychology practice based in Melbourne. Since 2012, we have supported individuals, couples, communities and businesses through therapy, coaching, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), Athlete Assistance Programs (AAP), training, and consultancy. At The Mind Room, we’re growing with purpose, working to transform mental healthcare by making affirming, sustainable support widely accessible, with a strong client engagement footprint and meaningful impact for those who need it most.

Our clinic space includes an inviting waiting room managed by a friendly front-of-house team, 14 comfortable consultation rooms and 3 telehealth pods. In the spacious back-of-house co‑working area, you’ll find an abundance of natural light, lush greenery, shared books and resources, and the comforting presence of Hugo, our beloved therapy dog. The space also includes a versatile studio/lounge for workshops or relaxed “bean bag time,” and a fully equipped kitchen stocked with AllPress coffee and a variety of teas.
