In October 2026, Fleming Psychology rebranded as Ocean & Oaktrees Clinical Psychology.

We offer the same quality service we have provided since 2015, simply under a new business name.

​

What's in a name?

     

          Oceans....

The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth's surface, yet much of it remains a mystery. Similarly, there is so much yet to learn about our mind. Like the ocean, our mind has depth, movement and changing conditions. Wellbeing grows as we learn to navigate our thoughts, feelings and responses to the same.  Oceans are also subject to external forces that affect them. Waves, like emotions, may be calm or turbulent but are always there and always changing. As we learn to 'surf' our emotions and not be overwhelmed by them, we find greater resilience and confidence.

​

         & Oaktrees.....
The oak tree represents our innate capacity for growth, strength and resilience. Just as an acorn holds within it the potential to become a strong and enduring oak, we believe people carry within them the capacity to grow, adapt and flourish when provided with the right conditions, support and understanding.  You cannot teach an acorn how to become an oak tree. It already holds this capacity within itself. However pending where that acorn lands, it may have barriers and obstacles that impact its capacity to reach its potential.  If we remove those barriers, the acorn can flourish.   Likewise, as psychologists, our job is not to teach you how to be your best self. You already contain that potential within you. Our job is to understand the barriers that have stopped you on your path to being your best self, and help you overcome them.

​

Together, Ocean & Oaktrees reflects our approach to psychology: making space for the full range of human experience while supporting each person to develop deeper roots, greater understanding, and the capacity to grow in ways that are meaningful to them.
