Services
Anxiety Treatment
Our evidence-based anxiety treatment utilises Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to address panic disorders, phobias, and generalised anxiety. Our clinical psychologists help clients identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and reduce avoidance behaviours. This service benefits adults experiencing debilitating anxiety symptoms that interfere with daily functioning.
Depression Therapy
Specialised depression treatment combines psychological assessment with tailored therapy plans. We address persistent low mood, loss of interest, and cognitive difficulties through structured sessions that build motivation and functional capacity. This service supports individuals struggling with diagnosed depression or situational mood disorders.
Substance Abuse Counselling
Our dual diagnosis program treats substance abuse alongside co-occurring mental health conditions. Using integrated approaches, we address alcohol, drug, and gambling addictions while managing associated anxiety or depression. This service supports recovery through relapse prevention strategies and behavioural modification techniques.
Psychological Assessment
Comprehensive psychological assessments form the foundation of our treatment plans. These evaluations examine cognitive, emotional, and behavioural patterns to inform accurate diagnoses. The service benefits clients seeking clarification of complex mental health presentations or court-mandated psychological reports.
Telehealth Services
Secure telehealth consultations maintain continuity of care during public health restrictions. This service delivers the same evidence-based treatments through virtual platforms, benefiting clients with mobility challenges or those requiring remote access to mental health support.

Questions
When should I seek professional mental health help?
If emotional difficulties interfere with daily functioning, relationships, or work performance, professional help is recommended. Early intervention improves outcomes.
What's the difference between psychologists and counsellors?
Psychologists require doctorate-level qualifications and AHPRA registration. They use evidence-based techniques with Medicare rebates. Counsellors lack standardised regulation and Medicare coverage.
Can I change psychologists using the same referral?
Yes, Medicare Mental Health Care Plans are transferable between providers within their two-year validity period.
Do you offer emergency mental health services?
We don't provide crisis management. For emergencies, contact Lifeline on 131 114 or your nearest hospital.
What therapy approaches do you use?
We specialise in evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for various mental health conditions.
