Hello, I’m Torgeir

A Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience and more than 12,000 sessions behind me. I really care about people feeling better and improving their lives.

I work with adults navigating difficult thoughts and feelings, mental health concerns and with those who want to understand themselves better — to recognise the patterns, cycles and ways of being that keep them stuck, and finally change them.

My approach is practical and collaborative. I'll be direct when that's useful and patient when that's what's needed. The goal isn't just to feel better in the short term — it's to build genuine insight and lasting skills that hold up when life gets hard again.

Whatever you are experiencing, let’s find ways to feel better together.

Unsure about booking? You are welcome you to reach out for a conversation to discuss your situation and whether I am suitable for you. You can do so here.

How It Works

Find out if we're a good fit
I invite you to have a look around to get a sense of how I work and what I offer. If it feels right, the next step is simple — book online or get in touch to discuss your situation.

Get a referral if you are eligible for Medicare rebates
Ask your GP for a Mental Health Treatment Plan and a referral to Torgeir Solemdal (Provider Number: 5653163W). This gives you access to Medicare rebates of $149.05 per session - but you can also self-refer with no GP visit required.

Your first sessions
The first few sessions are about understanding you — what brings you here, what you're hoping to change, and what matters most to you. There's no pressure to have it all figured out before we meet.

Ongoing therapy
From there, sessions are tailored to your goals and reviewed regularly to make sure things are actually moving. Some people come for a handful of sessions. Others work with me over a longer period. The pace is always yours.

Rebates & Fees

A GP Mental Health Treatment Plan gives you access to Medicare rebates - up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Self-referrals are also welcome.

Appointment Fee $270. Medicare returns $149.05.
