Who Are We?
Our Story
The Psych Professionals (Capalaba) – a group psychology private practice – was established in 2010 by our Clinical Director, Gerda Muller, consisting of only two team members. Since then it has grown with leaps and bounds to now include a team of ten (4 staff and 6 clinicians).
Following migration from South Africa in 2005 and following extensive experience obtained working across a variety of settings (including public, private and community-based) Gerda Muller founded The Psych Professionals, YourPsychOnline.com and Private Practice Success Australia. Gerda is a Clinical Psychologist and holds Clinical Endorsement with the Psychology Board of Australia and Medicare.
