Our story

From a small room in South Sydney to a clinic of many chairs.

Bilibio Psychology Clinic was established in 2007. Named in memory of the founder’s father, and built on the philosophy he lived by — care, love and respectful affection.

What began as one consulting room has become a multidisciplinary clinic of more than twenty-seven therapists, six locations across New South Wales and Queensland, and telehealth for anyone in Australia who needs a careful conversation.

We still believe the first appointment is an act of courage. You do not need a diagnosis to walk through the door. You need a room where you can be seen, heard and valued — and a clinician matched well enough that the work can actually happen.

A unique journey, full of surprises that will change you forever.

The name

Bilibium — lips.

Bilibio comes from the Latin word bilibium, meaning lips. The surname was first given in the Bilibium family, one of the traditional Roman families, to the son of an emperor for his distinctive mouth. Curiously, that part of the body is also the instrument of communication — of thought, of feeling, of the things that are hard to say.

We kept the name because therapy is that instrument, used with care. Own your story. Accept your vulnerabilities. Embrace yourself.

Brazil and Australia

Born in Brazil. Practising here.

Angelica and Gabriela Bilibio are Brazilian-born psychologists. Portuguese is a native language of this clinic — not an add-on. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese with the same standard of care, in person and by telehealth.

What we hold to

The relationship comes first

We are committed to a respectful, professional, and strong client–therapist relationship. Matching the right person is one of the most important factors in whether therapy works.

Evidence, without rigidity

Clinical work is founded on efficacious, up-to-date interventions that meet best-practice criteria where possible — and adapted to the person in the room.

Collaborative and transparent

We work with you, not on you. Treatment plans are discussed openly, and you remain the authority on your own life.

Everyone is welcome

Services are respectful of beliefs, culture and heritage, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, and each person’s growth process. Our programs are for everyone.
