Our Values
At Lucent Psychology, our work is grounded in values that shape the way we practice, the connections we build, and the space we create. These values guide how we approach therapy—not just in the techniques we use, but in the experience of being in the room together.
Compassion
We believe therapy should be a place of warmth, care, and genuine understanding. Everyone deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported in their journey.
Authenticity
Growth happens when people feel free to be themselves. We encourage openness and honesty—both in how we work and in helping people reconnect with who they truly are.
Clarity
Therapy provides a space to make sense of experiences, uncover patterns, and gain a deeper understanding of what matters most. We aim to bring insight and direction to those seeking change.
Empowerment
We believe in working alongside people, not leading the way for them. Therapy should be a collaborative process where individuals feel equipped to make choices that align with their values and needs.
hope
No matter how overwhelming things may seem, we hold hope—even when it feels out of reach. We trust in each person’s ability to grow, adapt, and move toward a life that feels more fulfilling.
Dedication
We are fully present in this work, committed to providing thoughtful, high-quality therapy. Every person who walks through our doors deserves care that is intentional, engaged, and meaningful.
Our Space
Walking into a therapy space shouldn’t feel like stepping into a sterile medical office. At Lucent Psychology, we’ve created a space that feels soothing, inviting, and thoughtfully designed, where you can feel comfortable enough to focus on yourself.
Beyond aesthetics, our space reflects our values. We believe that therapy should feel accessible and stigma-free. That's why we designed Lucent Psychology to be welcoming not only for those seeking therapy but also for the psychologists working here, creating a place where everyone feels supported, valued, and at ease.
We’ve put a great deal of thought into creating an environment that nurtures the therapy process, somewhere you can take a breath, settle in, and explore what matters to you.
About Us
Our Story
Lucent Psychology was born from a desire to create a space that reflects the depth, breadth, and accessibility of the therapy we offer. Previously known as Schema Therapy Wollongong, our name highlighted one of our core therapeutic approaches. However, over time, we recognised that it didn’t fully capture the values and diverse modalities that shape our work.
While Schema Therapy remains a passion for us, our team takes an integrative approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based therapies to support each person’s unique needs. Some people assumed we only offered Schema Therapy, which at times led them to hesitate in reaching out or question whether we were the right fit. We wanted to remove that barrier and make it clear that our approach is flexible, personalised, and guided by what will best support each individual.
At Lucent Psychology, our goal is to provide a warm, safe, and inclusive place for personal growth and deeper self-understanding. We honour the richness of many different therapeutic modalities, working together to help people navigate life’s difficulties in a way that feels meaningful to them.
