If you live in Sydney's inner west and are looking for a therapist, the Surry Hills location is one of the most accessible options for clients from the inner west corridor. The Surry Hills practice at Suite 324, 410 Elizabeth Street is on the border between the inner west and Surry Hills, making it a natural choice for clients from Newtown, Redfern, Erskineville, Darlington and Chippendale.
Surry Hills sits directly on the eastern edge of the inner west, making the Surry Hills practice one of the most accessible therapy locations for clients coming from Newtown, Redfern, Erskineville, Darlington and Chippendale. The practice address is Suite 324, 410 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010, on Gadigal Country.

Online sessions,
perfect for Inner West clients
Online sessions are a genuinely popular option for inner west clients, and not just because they save the trip to Surry Hills. Many people from the inner west find that Wednesday afternoons (Glebe) and Saturday mornings (Surry Hills) fit their week far better than a Saturday morning, and that attending from home gives them a quality of privacy and ease that in-person sessions do not always offer.
Online sessions at Chauncey's practice are conducted via secure encrypted video. They are available to clients anywhere in Australia. The therapeutic work is the same quality online as in person, with the same approach, the same attention and the same relational presence. All you need is a private space and a reliable internet connection.
Many inner west clients begin with online sessions and choose to continue them indefinitely, having found that the format suits both their schedule and their way of working. Others attend in person when they can and online when they cannot. The choice is always yours. Full details on the appointments page.
My services
I offer Gestalt psychotherapy and counselling for adults. Gestalt is a present-focused, relational and body-aware approach that works with who you are and what is happening in your life right now, not just what has happened in the past. It is well-suited to a wide range of presentations and to people who want to work in a way that is collaborative, genuine and attuned to their actual experience.
Sessions are available in person in Surry Hills on Saturday mornings and online on Wednesday afternoons (Glebe) and Saturday mornings (Surry Hills). My approach is trauma-informed, body-aware and LGBTQ+ affirming. No GP referral or Mental Health Care Plan is required.
