Courtney Bailey is a Psychologist who looks after people across Carlton and the wider Melbourne area. You can find the practice at 145 Drummond Street, Carlton VIC 3053. Sessions are set up for individuals, couples, and families, so you can get help in a way that fits your life, not the other way around.
In therapy, Courtney focuses on practical support and real-world changes. Many people come in when things feel a bit stuck—like feeling stressed for too long, dealing with tough emotions, or trying to make sense of relationship problems. At times, clients are managing anxiety or low mood, while others are just struggling to cope with day-to-day pressure. Over time, therapy helps people slow things down, spot what’s driving the problem, and build better habits for coping.
CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) is a core part of how sessions are run. CBT can be a helpful way to understand links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In many cases, you and Courtney work through what’s going on day to day, then practise small steps that make a difference. That might look like stress management techniques, learning to respond differently in hard moments, or sorting out patterns that keep getting in the way.
Couples and families also benefit from having a space to talk properly. Relationship counselling can help when communication breaks down, when conflict keeps repeating, or when one or both people feel overwhelmed. Family therapy can be useful when home life is tense, and it feels like everyone is stuck reacting the same way. Courtney supports the whole group to feel heard, and to get a clearer plan for how to move forward together.
There’s a steady focus on skill-building, not just talking things over. Sessions are tailored to what you need, and the pace is kept realistic. While the exact years of experience and formal study details aren’t listed here, Courtney’s work involves regular clinical practice in mental health support and therapy. If you’re looking for a calm, grounded place to start, the goal is simple: help you feel more steady, more in control, and better able to handle what life throws at you.
