ABOUT US
What we do
Starling Health Collective provides specialist psychological therapy and professional support for individuals and health professionals working in complex, high-demand environments.
​
Our work spans two core areas:
-
Professional development, supervision, and retreats for health professionals
-
Psychological therapy for children, adolescents and adults
​
Who we work with
We support:
-
Individuals and families seeking psychological therapy for trauma, adjustment, chronic illness, medical experiences, or life transitions
-
Health professionals, including doctors, psychologists, nurses, and allied health practitioners, seeking trauma-informed supervision, consultation, and professional development
-
Medical and health organisations looking to support clinician wellbeing and sustainable practice​s
Services are delivered in-person (from Moonee Ponds, Naarm Melbourne) and via telehealth.
​
Our approach
Inspired by the concept of a murmuration—the coordinated movement of starlings—Starling Health Collective is grounded in the belief that connection, collaboration, and attunement are central to movement and change.
​
Our work is trauma-informed, relational, and evidence-based at its core, while remaining warm, human and intentionally down-to-earth in tone. We prioritise psychological safety, flexibility, and respect for the context in which each person lives and works. ​​​​​​​​​​​​We value diversity and work with people from all backgrounds, honouring each individual’s lived experience, culture and perspective. Above all, we aim to create spaces—clinical, professional, and restorative—where people feel safe, understood, and supported to grow.
​
Clinical foundations
Our clinical work draws on established, evidence-based approaches, including:
-
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-
Trauma-informed and attachment-informed frameworks
​
We have particular experience supporting individuals with complex trauma, medical trauma, chronic illness and pain, occupational stress, and presentations shaped by cumulative or long-term adversity (see more on Therapy page).
​
Our professional development and supervision work reflects these same foundations, with a strong emphasis on reflective practice, sustainability, and ethical care in high-intensity clinical environments.​​​​
