Psychology
Our Psychologists support people who experience social, emotional and mental health difficulties.
What is Psychology?
Psychology involves working with a psychologist or counsellor who will listen to your concerns and help find healthy ways to overcome them. Psychology is all about understanding how our minds work and why we behave the way we do. It helps people understand their thoughts, feelings, and actions, as well as the motivations behind other people’s behaviours. Psychology supports people through improvements to learning, performance, relationships and developing a sense of connection.
So what exactly do psychologists and counsellors do?
Our psychologists and counsellors deliver regular sessions in person, over video, or by phone, for you, your child, or even your parents. Therapy involves open discussions about your concerns, where we work together to set therapy goals. During therapy, a range of evidence-based approaches can be used to address different concerns, all of which will be thoroughly discussed with you. Psychologists use their understanding of human behaviour and thinking to help address day-to-day challenges people experience and help you feel better equipped to cope with these. Our focus is on assisting you to find solutions and recognise and enhance the resources you already have. We have a team of registered and provisionally registered psychologists to support your therapy goals.

Our Psychology Services
Our experienced psychologists work as part of our multidisciplinary therapy teams, helping people living with disability address challenges and achieve their goals. Our psychologists help people understand the issues and challenges they’re facing, then provide strategies and interventions to help overcome them. They are committed to helping people find solutions to real-life problems, and improve their mental health and wellbeing.
Support is not only provided to the person experiencing challenges, but also to the important people in their life, including their family and caregivers.
Our psychology services are available to people across the lifespan who are diagnosed with autism, intellectual, neurological and physical disability as well as developmental delays. Services can be accessed in person at our offices, at school or online via teletherapy. Services can be provided in the home and community in certain circumstances.
Our psychology services can also be purchased privately if you are not eligible for government funding. Some of our Psychologists are also qualified to carry out Autism assessments. For more information about this service, call us on 1300 135 373.
