Why Rent A Room With Us?
Connection with Colleagues
Our tenants are a warm, connected community of genuinely supportive colleagues. We’re sort of an eclectic bunch, but mostly psychologists, and have a shared appreciation of process-oriented and humanist approaches to therapy.
Beautiful, Thoughtfully Designed Spaces
We really care about the impact of spaces on the therapeutic process. Our offices are cosy and personal - not your typical clinic rooms filled with generic furniture and mass-produced artwork. Our suite has also been designed with therapists in mind, with soundproofing and private exits throughout. 
Our suite is located in Ballow Chambers, a 1920s heritage-listed building centrally located in Spring Hill at the edge of Brisbane’s CBD. The building is accessible by car and public transport with an easy-to-reach location across from Central Station. There are also a number of nearby parking stations and street parking available. Historic Central Brisbane Location
Increase your income, while seeing fewer clients, and setting your own hours in your own practice.
We love helping clinicians make the jump to their own business. Our suite has everything you need to feel confident welcoming new clients to your practice, and the flexibility to support you as your caseload grows. See how much it might be costing you to delay making the switch.
Affordable rooms at a prestigious address.
Gift yourself an address to be proud of. Ballow Chambers is one of Wickham Terrace’s most beautiful examples of heritage architecture, and holds a long-standing reputation as one of the city’s hubs for doctors, medical specialists, and psychologists.
Room rates vary from $120+GST for our smallest office to $170+GST for our larger standard rooms.
Flexibility and no rush to fill up your books.
We know starting a practice from scratch can be nerve-wracking, so we offer an introductory period for new tenants who want a chance to build their caseload, without the pressure of paying multiple days’ rent up front.
We also offer month-to-month contracts, so when it’s time to move on, a month’s notice is all we ask.
Build-for-purpose spaces by therapists, for therapists.
Brisbane Therapy Rooms was designed and furnished by owner Kate O’Connor, a clinical psychologist and psychodynamic therapist. After working in a number of different agencies and group practices, Kate’s aspiration was to create a comfortable, elevated space that prioritised both therapist and patient comfort, and patient privacy, with sensitivity to little features that can make the therapy hour a little gentler for everyone.

Who are we?
Brisbane Therapy Rooms is owned by me - hi! I’m Kate O’Connor, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, writer, and your fellow tenant in Suite 22. I’m have been running my own private practice from Ballow Chambers for over fourteen years. Private practice has afforded me incredible opportunities and lifestyle flexibility, and I love helping colleagues establish their own practices in a supportive, nourishing environment.
I also moved into my own practice very early in my career, mainly because I wanted to be able to choose my own furniture! Interior design is a great passion of mine, so it has been exciting for me to create a space that offers an alternative to the Kmart-art-Fantastic-Furniture-couch clinic rooms that pervade the commercial market. I’d love to hear from you about how I can help make your private practice dream a reality.
If you’re interested, I’ve written a couple of pieces on my ideas around designing a psychoanalytic consulting room over on my Substack, The Psychoalchemist.

Do we sign a contract?
Can I rent a room for a one-off booking?
We currently only have capacity to offer space for ongoing tenancies, and we have a one-day minimum for new tenants. Current tenants are welcome to book additional hours, subject to availability.
Are the rooms soundproof?

Yes - all rooms are insulated with soundproofing within internal walls, and all doors have sealed frames and drop-down seals at the base. We also use music and sound machines to suppress residual noise.
I’m worried I won’t have any clients!

The eternal terror of establishing a new practice! We would love to support you to build your caseload. We share referrals within the suite, new tenants add their profile to this page, and Kate loves talking about practice building if you want additional support. We can also negotiate a staged start so you’re not paying rent for an empty room.
