Specialised Psychological Care for Life’s More Complex Challenges

Some mental health concerns need more than general support - they need clinical expertise and specialised training.

At East Brunswick Psychology, our team of psychologists has specific experience working with conditions that can be difficult to diagnose, challenging to treat, or simply hard to talk about with someone who hasn't worked extensively in those areas.

We're a small practice located in the Wellness Centre at East Brunswick Village. Our size allows us to maintain high standards of care while offering genuine continuity - you'll see the same psychologist across your sessions, which research suggests supports better therapeutic relationships.

Areas of Clinical Focus

What Makes Clinical Psychology Different

Clinical psychologists complete additional postgraduate training (typically 6+ years of university study) and are trained in psychological assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment for more complex presentations.

While all registered psychologists can provide effective therapy, you may benefit from seeing a clinical psychologist if:

  • You've tried therapy before without progress

  • You're managing multiple mental health concerns simultaneously

  • You need formal assessment or diagnosis (e.g., ADHD, ASD)

  • Your concerns involve trauma, eating disorders, or other specialised areas

  • You're looking for specific therapeutic modalities like EMDR

All our psychologists are registered with AHPRA and maintain professional development in their areas of focus.

How We Work

Evidence-Based Therapeutic Approaches

Session Options

In-Person Sessions Located in the Wellness Centre at East Brunswick Village

EB Consulting Suites
Level 1, 6 Bluestone Way
Brunswick East 3057

Saturday appointments available for those who cannot attend during the week.

Telehealth Sessions Secure video appointments are available if:

  • You're unable to travel to our Brunswick East location

  • You live elsewhere in Victoria or Australia

  • You prefer the privacy and convenience of attending from home

  • Weather, illness, or other circumstances make in-person attendance difficult

Both formats follow the same professional and confidentiality standards.

Your First Appointment What to Expect

Before Your Session

After booking, you'll receive:

  • Confirmation email with appointment details

  • A secure link to complete an intake form (covering consent, fees, privacy, and contact details)

  • Information about what to expect in your first session

Completing the intake form in advance allows more of your session time to focus on your concerns rather than administrative details.

After Your First Session

There's no pressure to commit to a set number of sessions upfront. Many people begin with weekly or fortnightly appointments and adjust frequency based on their needs and progress.

If at any point you feel the therapeutic relationship isn't the right fit, you're welcome to discuss this with your psychologist or contact our practice to explore other options.

During Your First Session (50 minutes)

Your psychologist will:

  • Ask what's brought you to therapy at this time

  • Explore your current situation and relevant background

  • Discuss your goals for therapy

  • Begin developing a collaborative treatment plan

  • Explain which therapeutic approaches may be helpful for your circumstances

  • Answer your questions about the process

This initial assessment phase typically takes 1-2 sessions. It's an important foundation for personalised treatment.

You can also discuss:

  • How often you'd like to attend (weekly, fortnightly, or as needed)

  • Whether in-person or telehealth suits you better

  • Any concerns or preferences about the therapeutic approach

Fees and Medicare

Medicare Rebates

If you have a valid Mental Health Care Plan from your GP, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for up to 10 psychology sessions per calendar year.

After each session, we will send your claim to Medicare for assessment and most rebates will be transferred to your account of choice within 2 business days.

Private Health Insurance

Many private health insurers provide rebates for psychology sessions if you have extras cover. Check with your provider about:

  • Whether clinical psychology is covered under your policy

  • How much you can claim per session

  • Whether you need a referral

  • Any annual limits

Cancellation Policy

Life happens, and we understand that sometimes you need to reschedule. We ask that you provide notice before 10am on the business day prior to your appointment.

For Monday appointments, this means notifying us before 10am on the Friday.

If you're unable to attend in person, we can often switch to a telehealth session instead—just contact us to arrange this.

This policy helps us manage our waitlist and ensure we can support as many people as possible.

Currently Accepting New Clients

We have availability for new clients for both in-person and telehealth appointments.
