Kingscliff, NSW

Evening and weekend telehealth sessions available Australia-wide. Attend from home, from work, or wherever is most convenient.
Who this is for
For people whose lives don't stop at five o'clock
The reality for many people is that standard business hours simply don't work. Work commitments, childcare, long commutes, shift patterns, or the particular difficulty of stepping away mid-day — all of it makes accessing psychology harder than it needs to be. Evening and weekend appointments exist to remove that barrier.
Full-time workers
Taking time off for a 10am appointment isn't always possible — or comfortable. Evening sessions mean you don't have to explain anything to anyone at work.
Parents with daytime commitments
School pick-ups, childcare hours, and the rhythms of family life make daytime appointments difficult. Weekend sessions open up time that simply isn't available during the week.
Shift workers & healthcare workers
If your working hours are irregular, standard appointment times rarely align. Evening and weekend availability makes consistent attendance possible.
People who prefer more privacy
For some, attending a psychology appointment during business hours raises questions they'd rather not answer. Out-of-hours appointments are simply quieter and more discreet.
The approach
The same depth of work — regardless of when you come
The time of day or day of week doesn't change the quality or nature of the work. Evening and weekend appointments at Sweetnam Psychology are full sessions — the same depth-focused therapy offered at any other time.
Taylor Sweetnam is a clinical psychologist and published researcher who works with high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Her approach is grounded in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) — an evidence-based method that addresses the emotional patterns underlying presenting symptoms, rather than simply managing them.
Taylor works with a deliberately small caseload, which means consistent, focused attention across the full course of treatment — not just in the early weeks.
The timing of therapy matters less than finding something that actually fits into your life — so you can show up consistently and do the work.Taylor Sweetnam, Clinical Psychologist
Telehealth evening & weekend sessions
Out-of-hours telehealth — available across Australia
Evening and weekend telehealth sessions are available for patients anywhere in Australia. For many people, telehealth removes the last remaining barrier — no travel time, no waiting room, no need to be near a clinic.
Telehealth sessions at Sweetnam Psychology are conducted via a secure, private video platform. They're equally effective for most presentations, and for many people become the preferred way of working once they've experienced it.
Medicare rebates apply to telehealth sessions for eligible patients with a Mental Health Treatment Plan. DVA-funded telehealth sessions are also available for eligible veterans. See the fees and rebates page for full details.
