Find a Mental Health Professional in Chatswood, NSW

Browse psychologists, counsellors, mental health social workers, psychotherapists and occupational therapists in and around Chatswood, NSW. Chatswood is the commercial heart of Sydney's lower north shore and one of the city's most significant East Asian communities, with large Chinese, Hong Kong, Korean, and Japanese populations. The suburb is home to many high-achieving professionals and students, and practitioners here frequently work with the mental health pressures of academic and career performance, perfectionism, identity and belonging for second-generation Australians, and the cultural complexity of living between expectations. Several practitioners offer services in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean, which significantly increases access for community members who feel more comfortable exploring mental health in their first language. NDIS-funded support is available, and the area has strong transport links making it accessible for clients across the lower north shore and upper north shore.

Filter by Medicare, NDIS, DVA or telehealth to find the right practitioner for your needs.
