Description
Rough Patch opened its doors on Gadigal and Wangal Country in so-called Sydney in August 2020 as a grassroots initiative with a clear mission: to provide affordable, accessible mental health support to people who need it.
Based on the Hard Feelings model from Canada and founded by Clinical Psychotherapist, Amber Rules, the project emerged in response to the glaring gaps in affordable counselling and the overwhelming demand for mental health services, particularly when the COVID-19 pandemic began.
After 4 years of in-person service provision, Rough Patch transitioned to a Telehealth model. This allowed us to expand our service nationally and reduce the significant overhead costs of operating a physical clinic.
