I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years experience in mental health working with male clients to assist them to make positive changes in their life and to achieve their goals. Part of this process is also linking clients back toward their core values. I also lecture at Monash University and ACAP college. I am able to support my male with interpersonal issues, work stress, anxiety and depression and sexual dysfunction.

If you are a parent/carer of a young child with developmental delay, autism, ADHD and/or Intellectual Disability I am able to provide early intervention support. I am also able to support children who engage in Behaviour of Concern using positive behaviour support strategies and the development of a Behaviour Regulation Plan. In addition to this service, if you are an adult who has experienced childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, addictions and other related challenges I am able to offer Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing therapy.

I was drawn to psychology after struggling with my own issues. Most of my clients are experiencing some form of low mood, anxiety or relationship and life stress. As a warm and kind practitioner, I focus on creating an open and non-judgmental space to freely explore all aspects of your current difficulties. We will work together to cultivate understanding and insight, and then to develop the psychological tools to facilitate your positive change and growth.

I have a Masters of Counselling and have completed Levels 1, 2 & 3 of the Gottman Couples Counselling training. I specialise in Couples and Individuals. My passion is to help people with their struggles, stresses and every day concerns. Seeing the difference I makes for the couples who come in to see me is incredibly gratifying. Imparting practical and attainable every day tools to help couples through their differences and emphasising the importance of building and rekindling friendship and showing appreciation is so simple and yet also, so powerful.

I am a child psychotherapist dedicated to supporting children from diverse backgrounds. My practice is deeply focused on relationships and individual differences. This means I meet the child and family where they are at, developmentally, emotionally, and functionally. I respect and follow the child's interests and effectively use the number one tool to support healing - affect. The therapeutic approaches I use to create individualized interventions are underpinned by DIR/Floortime developed by Dr Stanley Greenspan, Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics by Dr Bruce Perry, Attachment Theory, and Polyvagal Theory.

I am a Psychotherapist and counsellor with over 20 years experience. Deciding to come to therapy can feel like such a relief. Sharing your story and being heard without judgment in a safe and supportive environment. You may be experiencing big life transitions, relationship issues or old negative patterns and beliefs that are getting in the way leaving you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Even with your best efforts nothing seems to change. Therapy can really help to bring about change so you have more space between your thoughts and those old negative patterns.how wonderful to have more choice and freedom in your life.

I create a safe and open space for my clients to therapeutically explore their issues, challenges and concerns. My ideal client is someone who is open to exploring the connections between their trauma and life experiences and how this has impacted their lives in positive and negative ways. I like to work with clients that are action and goal oriented, as I like to set homework tasks and brain training exercises to re-wire their thinking in a healthier and more functional way. I am very conversational and my clients like this approach to discussing areas of concern to them.

I take a collaborative to therapy, in which we work together to define a project to address the core concerns. I see a range of clinical issues: mood disturbance (depression, dysthymia) anxiety (generalised anxiety, excessive worry, panic) and entrenched problems arising from trauma (PTSD, grief, attachment issues), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). As a clinical psychologist I am trained in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Therapy (CBT), trauma therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). My past roles are as senior clinician in private & public mental health, and I provide supervision to psychologists.

Being a passionate advocate for non-directive Child-Centred Play Therapy, an approach which is backed by neuroscience and is strictly evidence based, I specialise in working therapeutically with families of children of 2-10 years old to support their child towards their full potential. I recognise the importance of facilitating parents with their involvement in the child's therapy by helping them to become therapeutic agents for their children. I have a special interest integrating this in therapy with children on the Autism Spectrum and with other developmental issues.

Hi I'm Amy, I am a Counselling Psychologist. I create a friendly, supportive and non judgemental environment and enjoy working with adolescents, young adults and adults. My therapeutic approach is client centred, where client's goals, interest and preferences guide treatment. I am passionate about working collaboratively with clients to identify and achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being and experience of life’s many challenges.

We are a group psychology practice with a variety of professional, experienced and qualified psychologists dealing with a range of clients and presenting issues.

I’m a registered psychologist with a wealth of clinical experience and has specialised in trauma and PTSD counselling and treatment, after working at the Trauma Centre of Australia for several years. I promote a friendly, empathetic, and non-judgmental style of support to help clients identify their strengths and develop essential coping skills and step-by-step strategies towards their personalised goals and increase resilience to life’s challenges with confident and achieve a meaningful, happier, and healthier live.

As a psychologist, I feel privileged, to observe & work with the difficult life experiences, which lead individuals to engage in therapy. I believe that therapy is a form of self-exploration & learning. In sessions, I use safe, containing ways to help clients process their thoughts and feelings, gaining insight and understanding, so that they can navigate the world around them, with a sense of confidence, purpose and hope. I help clients develop skills to manage their discomfort, pain, uncertainty and fear, to facilitate change in their lives and improve their overall sense of well-being.

Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. Therapy helps. No matter who you are or what your issues are. There are things you can learn about yourself and ways that you can improve your functioning and relationships. Mental health matters. Relationships matter. Effective parenting matters. Self love matters. You are worth it.

I am a registered psychologist (clinical registrar) with a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. Rather than viewing your challenges through a deficit-focused lens, which often perpetuates unnecessary stigma, I choose to adopt a strength-based approach. I believe that each person has unique strengths and potential, and my mission is to help individuals uncover, appreciate, and leverage these assets. My therapeutic goal is not to simply manage your symptoms, but to empower you to evolve into the best version of yourself, nurturing resilience, self-confidence, and an overall sense of well-being.

I am a registered psychologist based in St Kilda East, Melbourne. With over 24 years of experience in the field, I am committed to applying my skills to help clients achieve the optimum outcome. I bring to my practice a dedication to integrity and a lifetime commitment to helping people cope with life challenges. In 2006 I was awarded the Order of Australia for honorary work in disability and broad-spectrum community service. I have an ongoing commitment to professional development and standard of practice. I counsel adults, couples and adolescents.

I feel passionate about helping people make meaningful, sustainable, and healthy changes in their lives. I aim to work respectfully and collaboratively with people so that clients build their own independence and develop ways to manage life stressors more effectively, in addition to their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours. A comfortable, empathetic and supportive therapeutic relationship is also very important in my approach, and research shows that this is essential in best outcomes for clients. I generally work on a wide range of mental health and life issues and the approaches I work with are all evidence-based interventions.

My approach to therapy is warm and person-centred, holding the unique nature and rich history of each client at the forefront of our work together. I work with clients to create a collaborative, explorative, and relational container through which understanding, compassion, and insight may be fostered. At the core of my approach is a deep sense of positive regard, and a strong belief in each individual’s capacity for lasting and meaningful change. I endeavour to deliver an attuned and safe therapeutic encounter, one which restores connection to self, other, and the world in which we live.
