You've tried to figure it out. The same patterns keep showing up anyway.

I'm Heather, a psychologist on the Central Coast. I work with adults who are ready to understand the patterns shaping their relationships, their self-worth, and their emotional life — and to build something different.

Who I work With

I work with adults who sense that something in their past is shaping their present — in their relationships, their sense of self, or the way they move through the world.

Many of my clients are navigating relational or attachment trauma. Some are parents — new or seasoned — finding that having children has stirred up things they didn't expect. Others are simply stuck in patterns they can't seem to shift, no matter how hard they try.

I have a particular interest in working with people experiencing PMDD and cyclical mood conditions, and those navigating life with ADHD or in relationship with someone who has ADHD.

You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need to be ready to look a little deeper.

About Me

Hello!

I'm Heather Fox, a registered psychologist based on the Central Coast. I've been working with adults for over a decade, and the thread running through all of it is the same — helping people understand where their patterns come from, and building something different in their place.

I'm warm, I have a sense of humour, and I'll be honest with you. I'll support you through the hard parts but I'll also gently challenge you — because I think that's what real therapeutic relationships do.

I draw on Schema Therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic approaches, and I work with each person as an individual rather than applying a formula.

Based in Ettalong Beach and Erina with telehealth available Australia-wide.

  • I offer individual therapy for adults, available in person at Ettalong Beach, Erina or via telehealth Australia-wide. Sessions are 50 minutes and are tailored to your needs and goals.

    I draw on Schema Therapy, EMDR, and psychodynamic approaches to help you understand the deeper patterns shaping your life and relationships — and to create lasting change.

  • Sessions are $235 for 50 minutes.

    With a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you can claim a Medicare rebate of $101.55 making your out-of-pocket cost around $133 per session.

  • A Mental Health Care Plan is a referral from your GP that entitles you to Medicare rebates for up to 10 individual psychology sessions per calendar year. Simply make a longer appointment with your GP and mention you'd like a referral to a psychologist.

  • No — you can contact me directly without a referral. However if you'd like to claim the Medicare rebate you'll need a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You can book directly online through my booking page — either a free 15-minute phone consultation or an initial session. Simply choose the option that feels right for you.

  • The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to change, and whether we feel like a good fit. There's no pressure to have everything figured out before you arrive.

  • This varies from person to person. Some people come for a focused period of 8-12 sessions. Others find longer term work more helpful. We'll discuss this together and review it as we go.

  • You can reach me anytime via my contact page or email. I aim to respond quickly—usually within 24 to 48 hours.
