Who we are

Inner Light Allied Health is an affirming clinic in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

We support children, teens, and adults. Our work includes therapy, assessments, and collaborating with other health professionals. We're here to make it easier to show up as yourself.

We know that not everyone learns, feels, or moves through the world the same way. That’s not a problem to fix.

Our team includes both professionals and people with lived experience. This helps us connect in a real and human way. We try to meet each person where they’re at, and support them in ways that fit them - not the other way around.

Inner Light was started by Larney and Kathleen, two psychologists who wanted to build a space that feels safe, kind, and genuinely inclusive.

We work with private clients, Medicare, and NDIS (Self and Plan Managed). We also have two friendly therapy dogs- Luna and Mako - who bring joy and comfort to our space.

Our Values

  • A girl with red hair, glasses, and pink rain boots is holding an umbrella over a boy with brown hair, wearing a black sweater and red pants, in the rain.

    Compassion

    We lead with care. Our work is built on empathy, understanding, and kindness - to ourselves and others.

    Inclusivity

    We celebrate different ways of thinking, moving, feeling, and living. Everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome here.

    Connection

    We build real relationships with clients, with our team, and with our therapy dogs. You don’t have to do this alone.

    Autonomy

    Everyone deserves choice. We support each person to be part of decisions about their care, in ways that feel right for them.

    Respect

    We listen to and value each person’s voice. We make space for differences and treat everyone with dignity.
