Clinical Psychologists complete additional postgraduate training in the assessment and treatment of mental health conditions.​

This training focuses on understanding not only what you're experiencing, but why it has developed—allowing therapy to be tailored to your individual circumstances rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.​

For  example, two people can both experience anxiety.

One may be driven by perfectionism.

Another by trauma.

Another by obsessive thinking.

Another by burnout.

Although the symptoms may look similar, the underlying causes can be completely different - and so can the treatment. 

​

Clinical Psychology places particular emphasis on understanding those differences, so therapy is guided by your individual story rather than simply your diagnosis.

 

Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout or workplace stress, therapy is guided by evidence-based therapies and a collaborative understanding of you as a whole person including your strenghts.

Medicare Rebates

If your GP prepares a Mental Health Care Plan, Medicare provides rebates for appointments with both Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists.

​

Clinical Psychologists attract a higher Medicare rebate (currently $149.05), recognising the additional postgraduate training required for endorsement. For many people, this results in a lower out-of-pocket cost than seeing a generally registered psychologist.
