Jerodine and Mark at Koira Psychology

“The Koira story started when we randomly sat next to each other in a 1st Year psychology class in 2006 at Bond University. This chance meeting has culminating in the establishment of Koira Psychology Clinic in 2023”.

“We both share a passion for psychotherapy and its healing qualities. Neither of us ever had the thought we would become psychologists when we left school. It took us years of trying to work out where we fit in this world before we found ourselves enrolling in a psychology degree. Since starting the degree we have spent years reading, researching, and learning how to be useful to those who seek our help”.

Why Koira Psychology?

When coming up with a name for our new psychology practice we wanted to avoid typical clinic names.

We learnt that Koira means ‘dog’ in Finnish and we thought ‘why not?’

P.s. Neither of us have any Finnish ancestors, but we both love dogs
