How Psychology Melbourne will work for you

At Psychology Melbourne, we take care to ensure that our clients make continued progress in their therapy and achieve their goals. Studies have shown that the relationship between the client and therapist is the single most important factor in the success of counselling.

Therapy is an intimate experience and research shows repeatedly that if that therapeutic relationship doesn't work, clients are likely to walk away and give up. International studies suggest that too many clients drop out of therapy before their goals are met, largely because early difficulties are not identified and addressed. We believe that it is the psychologist's responsibility constantly to monitor that relationship and act immediately to address any problems, and we have developed additional training in this essential area of practice to develop our psychologists' expertise beyond their academic studies.

At Psychology Melbourne, we do not simply assign clients to the first available psychologist. Instead we maximise the chance of a good match through our initial matching session.

We follow this up by regularly tracking satisfaction, moving quickly to resolve any problems. The fact that our clients report a consistently high level of satisfaction with their treatment indicates that our approach works.
