A psychologist provides professional psychological therapy to help people understand and manage difficulties affecting their thoughts, emotions, behaviours and relationships. A clinical psychologist has advanced training in the assessment and treatment of mental health concerns and can provide evidence-based psychological therapies tailored to your individual needs.

Psychologists in Australia must complete approved university training and meet the registration requirements of the Psychology Board of Australia. This includes a Bachelors, Honours, and Masters degree. Clinical psychologists have undertaken additional specialist postgraduate training in clinical psychology, including advanced training in psychological assessment and evidence-based psychological therapies.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to claim a rebate for psychological services through Medicare, private health insurance or another funding arrangement.

If you are unsure whether you are eligible for a rebate, you can discuss your options with your psychologist before commencing therapy.

A Mental Health Care Plan is prepared by a GP that can provide access to Medicare rebates for eligible psychological services.

If you have a care plan and are referred to a clinical psychologist, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for up to 10 psychological treatment sessions each calendar year, subject to current Medicare requirements.

You don't necessarily need a Mental Health Care Plan to see a psychologist. You can also access private psychology without a GP referral, although Medicare rebates generally require an eligible referral or plan.

Once you complete the enquiry or booking form, your information will be reviewed so we can understand what you're looking for and one of our team will contact you via phone or email to discuss booking your initial appointment.

That's completely okay. You don't need to arrive at your first psychology appointment with a diagnosis, a treatment plan or a clear understanding of what needs to change.

Part of the role of a clinical psychologist is to help you understand what may be contributing to your current difficulties and identify areas that could benefit from psychological therapy.

Sometimes you may simply know that you're not feeling like yourself, you're struggling to switch off, or something isn't quite working. Together, we can explore what's happening and work out where to begin.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based psychological therapy commonly used to treat PTSD and trauma-related difficulties. EMDR helps people process distressing memories and experiences that continue to affect how they feel, think or respond in the present.

EMDR therapy involves a structured treatment process and uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or alternating taps, as part of the reprocessing process. It is not simply about talking through traumatic experiences repeatedly.

An EMDR therapy psychologist will first assess whether EMDR is appropriate and help you develop the skills and resources needed before trauma processing begins. EMDR can also be adapted to individual needs, including for neurodivergent clients.

EMDR may be particularly relevant when a neurodivergent person has experienced trauma, chronic stress, bullying, social rejection, relationship difficulties or other experiences that continue to cause distress.

Importantly, not every difficult experience associated with being neurodivergent should be considered trauma. Therapy should explore the person's individual experiences and determine what is contributing to their current difficulties.

No. EMDR is strongly associated with the treatment of PTSD, but it is also has strong evidence in the treatment of specific phobias, depressive disorders, and generalised anxiety.

EMDR may be considered for some people experiencing distressing memories, trauma-related symptoms or other difficulties where a trauma-focused approach is appropriate. Your psychologist can discuss whether EMDR is suitable for your circumstances.
