Clea was founded by Simon Greally and his partner Alice - partners in life and now in purpose. Simon, a former professional athlete turned health tech leader, knows firsthand the invisibility, misdiagnosis, and mental toll that chronic illness brings.
At 31, he was told he had Multiple Sclerosis. The prognosis was devastating: progressive symptoms, likely wheelchair use, a future full of uncertainty. But six months and countless tests later, the diagnosis changed. It was not MS. It was a severe form of chronic migraine. Silent. Invisible. So intense it often left him unable to walk, speak, or function.
That moment cracked everything open - the grief, the fear, and the mental toll of being chronically unwell in a system that does not see you. Alice stood beside him through it all. And together, they realised something needed to change.
Clea is for the millions of Australians living with chronic conditions who have felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or just plain exhausted. It is mental health care that actually fits around your life. Trauma informed, subscription based, and matched to your condition and your capacity. No clinics. No waiting rooms. No need to start over.
Every counsellor and therapist in our network is experienced in supporting people with chronic illness and is backed by an Advisory Board that ensures care remains ethical, safe, and evidence-based.
Because chronic care should include mental health support, and patients shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.
