Watkins Therapy Group

Watkins Therapy Group (WTG) is a nationally-accessible counselling and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) service dedicated to providing high-quality, client-centred psychological support for individuals, couples, families and workplaces. Led by Director & Principal Therapist Benjamin Watkins, the practice combines professional rigour with a warm, practical and results-oriented approach.

What sets us apart
At WTG we recognise that seeking help can feel daunting, which is why our focus is on reducing barriers and making access straightforward — whether you're connecting face-to-face at our Frankston, Mt Eliza or McCrae hubs, or accessing telehealth from anywhere in Australia.

Our carefully-selected team of registered counsellors, therapists and coaches bring a broad range of modalities (CBT, DBT, solution-focused, narrative, performance-coaching, and more) and specialise across adult, youth, couple, workplace and community-based settings.

We partner with small to medium businesses and not-for-profits to deliver flexible EAP solutions that reflect real-world organisational needs, supporting leaders and staff through change, stress, performance demands and everyday wellbeing.
We are firmly rooted in our local Mornington Peninsula community while maintaining an Australia-wide footprint—so you get local care, national reach.

Our philosophy
We believe that within every person resides a well of resilience and capacity for growth. Our role is to walk alongside you—whether you’re navigating change, feeling stuck, managing anxiety, burnout or relationship strain—helping you move from surviving to thriving.

Straightforward, jargon-free and genuinely collaborative, Catherine and the WTG team tailor each session to your life, your values and your goals. We treat the therapeutic journey as both science and human connection.
