When the Ground Shifts

A closed group for adults navigating anxiety, uncertainty, and loss of meaning. Relational therapy, not a skills program.

Meet Us

Our psychologists each bring their own way of working, their own training, their own reasons for doing this. What they share is a willingness to sit with the hard stuff and stay with you through it.

Have a look at who we are and find the person who feels right for you.

Our story

Ascending Psychology has been part of the Northern Rivers community since 2018.

Under the leadership of Dr Christopher Zurawic and Dr Sierra Phillips, we’ve grown into a practice built on one belief: that psychology should feel deeply human and be firmly rooted in relationship.
