About Us

Waratah Psychology was established in 2021 by Deb and Ruku, after several years of working together in community-based organisations.

Our aim in establishing the practice is to cultivate a therapeutic environment that reflects our shared values of creating authentic relationships with clients using an evidence-based, trauma-informed and culturally-sensitive approach.

The ‘Waratah’ flower derives its name from the Aboriginal people of the Eora nation, signifying a blossoming red tree that stands out even from a distance. The flower embodies qualities of strength, courage, healing and support, all of which we aspire to cultivate within our clients and the broader community.
