Our ethos

At Held & Heard Health offers thoughtful, evidence-based care grounded in respect, safety, and genuine connection.

Located in the heart of Gympie, our rural health clinic supports children, teens, adults, and families through integrated psychological and psychiatric services, including ADHD assessment and treatment. Our name reflects our purpose: to create a space where people feel held with care and heard with genuine compassion.

Held & Heard Health is led by Dr Peta Maguire, Clinical Psychologist, and Dr Tom Brouard, Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist. We are a partnered team and are transparent about this relationship. While we work collaboratively, we maintain clear professional and ethical boundaries, ensuring each client’s care remains appropriate, independent, and in their best interests. This model allows for continuity and clarity across psychological therapy, psychiatric assessment, ADHD diagnosis, and medication management.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, grief, parenting challenges, complex mental health concerns, or simply seeking deeper self-understanding, you are welcome here.

Our approach blends clinical rigour with the warmth of country care. We offer a space that feels like a safe cup of tea — calm, welcoming, and free from judgement. A place where parents can exhale, teens can be themselves, and adults feel supported rather than scrutinised. Here, people are held, not fixed.

This is Held & Heard Health.
