Our Story

Lavender House Psychology was founded in 2002 by Challee O'Reilly. Her vision was to establish a safe and welcoming space for people of the Scenic Rim region to obtain assistance to work on their psychological issues and maximise their wellbeing.

Over time, the practice has become home to a team of talented and passionate psychologists along with an exceptional administration staff group working together to achieve outstanding outcomes for clients of all ages.

We have forged strong collaborative relationships with referring doctors and a wide range of support and therapeutic services in the local area.

We pride ourselves on our compassion, professionalism and passion for helping people to achieve their goals and live their best lives!

Our Team

Our team of extraordinary and devoted psychologists stands ready to assist individuals of all ages - from young children to seniors. We also extend our expertise to couples, families, and groups as needed.

With a steadfast commitment to delivering the highest quality of care, we employ best-practice, evidence-based treatments within a nurturing environment of empathic resonance and unconditional positive regard.

Our professional ensemble comprises solely fully qualified, registered psychologists. Each of our remarkable therapists has been thoughtfully chosen to ensure that our collective expertise can address the broadest spectrum of presenting challenges.

While we give careful thought to all new referrals, ensuring a harmonious match between client needs and therapist strengths, we also empower clients to transition to a more fitting therapist should the therapeutic connection not flourish.
