Hebba Morcos
Registered PsychologistI'm a registered psychologist with over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families. My background spans psychology, advocacy and extensive work with individuals, families and systems of care — and I bring all of that with me into every session.
My approach is collaborative and client-centred. I use structured assessment and formulation to understand what's really going on — the patterns, the history, the context — and from there, therapy becomes something purposeful and practical. I draw on evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT and mindfulness, adapting what I use to fit the person in front of me, not the other way around.
"I place a strong emphasis on building therapeutic relationships, recognising that trust and connection are central to deeper work."
— Hebba MorcosSomething I've come to believe deeply over the years is that the quality of the relationship in the room matters as much as any technique. People change when they feel genuinely understood — not just heard, but actually seen. That's what I try to create.
I'm warm and direct. I'm not someone who sits quietly waiting for insight to emerge — I'm actively alongside you, thinking with you, and willing to name what I notice. Sessions are a mix of understanding and doing: making sense of what's happening, and then working out what to try differently.
I also bring my own lived experience of ADHD to this work. Being diagnosed later in life — after years of working harder than felt fair, masking, compensating and wondering why things felt so difficult — changed how I understand neurodiversity, both clinically and personally. I think that kind of inside knowledge is something you can't fully get from a textbook, and it shapes how I listen and what I look for.
Outside of work, I am drawn to nature — and especially to the ocean. There's something about the water that I return to again and again: its rhythm, its patience, the way it shapes the coastline not through force but through steady, persistent movement. I find that deeply true about human change as well. The sea doesn't rush. It shows up, it recedes, it comes back. Over time, something shifts.
The ocean also reminds me of renewal — the way each wave brings something new, the way light looks different on the surface every single morning. That sense of possibility, even after difficulty, is something I try to carry into my work. Change is rarely linear. But it's almost always possible.
— Hebba
Meet Declan
Meet Declan, our Practice Manager. Currently completing his qualifications in psychology, Declan will provide friendly and informed administrative support to our clients, taking care of welcome emails, appointment scheduling, and rebates.
He will set you up, keep you in the loop, and ensure that all your questions, queries, and concerns are heard and addressed, whatever they may be.
Meet Zorro
Zorro is the heart of our team behind the scenes. As our therapy dog, he offers something rare and simple: unconditional love. He doesn't mind how the day has gone or what's on anyone's mind — he's just glad you're there. That steady, no-strings warmth keeps our team grounded between sessions, and it's exactly what makes him such a wonderful team member. Off duty, you'll usually find him curled up with his favourite plush goose.
Growth takes time. Coral knows this.
A coral reef doesn't grow overnight. It builds slowly — polyp by polyp, layer by layer — sustained by the right conditions: warmth, stability, clean water, connection. Left undisturbed, it becomes something extraordinary. But it can't be rushed. It can only be supported.
This is the idea at the heart of Coral Psychology. Change in human beings works the same way. It isn't dramatic or sudden. It happens through consistent, careful work — through a relationship built on trust, through understanding that accumulates gradually, through strategies that are tried, refined and made your own over time.
"Like coral, meaningful change grows from the inside out — quietly, steadily, and in its own time."
The name Coral was chosen deliberately. It speaks to the ocean — to something Hebba returns to again and again in her own life as a source of calm, perspective and renewal. The water doesn't judge. It holds. It moves. And over time, with the right conditions, it shapes something beautiful.
That is what therapy at Coral Psychology is designed to be: a steady, supportive environment where you feel safe enough to explore, grow and eventually — at your own pace — change.
On connection
Coral grows in colonies — not in isolation. Each polyp is connected to the next, building something together that none could build alone. Therapy works the same way: it's the relationship that makes the work possible.
On time
Some reefs have been growing for thousands of years. There is no shortcut. Meaningful change in people takes the time it takes — and the goal of therapy is never to rush that, but to make the conditions right.
On renewal
The ocean renews itself constantly. Every tide brings something in and takes something out. Therapy, too, is a process of letting go of what no longer serves — and making space for what does.
On resilience
Coral has survived ice ages, mass extinctions and centuries of change. It is fragile and strong at once. People are the same — capable of remarkable resilience, given the right environment and enough time.

A Space Designed for Comfort and Connection
Our rooms have been thoughtfully designed to create a warm, welcoming and comfortable environment where children, adolescents and adults can feel safe and supported. We understand that beginning therapy can sometimes feel unfamiliar, which is why creating a calm space that encourages trust and connection is an important part of the therapeutic process.
For children, the room provides opportunities to explore, play, create and express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable. For adolescents and adults, the space aims to provide a calm and supportive environment where they can feel heard, understood and comfortable exploring experiences at their own pace.
A waiting lounge is available with comfortable seating as you wait for your child. Alternatively, coffee shops and markets are just a few steps away from our clinic.
What makes the space different
- Warm, carefully considered design — not clinical or cold
- Play materials and creative tools throughout the children's space
- Separate waiting area so sessions feel private and contained
- Quiet location with easy parking — low stress from the moment you arrive
- Accessible for all ages — children through to adults
- Coffee and markets nearby for parents during sessions
