Psychology Melbourne and You
At some time in our lives, many of us find that we need someone to talk to, in confidence, about our problems, life issues or relationships.
Modern psychology can transform lives, and our clinical and counselling psychologists have helped thousands of individuals and couples from different backgrounds achieve deep, lasting change.
Practised wisely and with care and respect for the individual, the evidence-based techniques our psychologists employ can relieve stress, and ease burdens of guilt and shame. They can allow us to find calmness and confidence, establish and preserve fulfilling relationships and achieve success in our lives.
Our senior Melbourne psychologist, Jill Wright, will answer all your questions during an initial consultation. She will help you choose the most appropriate psychologist from our expert team to work with you.

Medicare rebate
Our counselling sessions and group sessions (or classes) are supported by Medicare when you have a referral, in the form of a Mental Health Care Plan, from your GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician. With the Mental Health Care Plan, you are entitled to 12 counselling sessions and 12 classes in a calendar year.
To get a referral you will need to make an appointment with your GP to complete a Mental Health Care Plan. It is important to tell the doctor's receptionist that you want a referral to a psychologist as the GP needs approximately 30 minutes to discuss the plan with you - so make sure you ask for a double session!
